The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has advised Anambra businessmen and women in Lagos State that Anambra is ready for business and investing in the state will be in their best interest.

Soludo appealed to Anambra people to always think home by imbibing the ‘homeland consciousness’ and to also ensure that part of their taxes are paid to the state, irrespective of where they reside or work.

The governor stated these during a town hall meeting with Anambra residents in Lagos while enumerating some of the progress made so far by his administration after one year in office.

He told his audience to strive to contribute their quota to the development of the state, adding that God did not make a mistake by making them Anambra people.

This is according to a press statement by Soludo’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, on Friday.

The governor, therefore, enjoined the people to reflect deeply on it and do everything possible to contribute to the growth of the state.

He said, “This is the same question I ask myself every day. And we have a responsibility to leave Anambra State better than we met it.


“The need to change Anambra State from a departure lounge to a destination, the homeland consciousness must be inculcated in the perceptual mind of every Onye-Anambra.

“Your host will never respect you if you don’t have a livable and prosperous homeland.”

Soludo further assured his audience that his government is determined to resurrect Onitsha by returning it to its former glory as the biggest commercial city in the South East and beyond.

He insisted that his administration has drastically reduced the menace of killings and kidnapping to the barest minimum with the security architecture put in place by his government.

He commended the Army, Navy, Police, the state’s vigilante group and other paramilitary agencies for their dogged efforts in contributing to the successes recorded so far.

The governor reassured them that law and order has been greatly restored in the state compared to the impunity that held sway before he came into office.

To boost the power supply in the state, he stated that his government recently signed an MOU with the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company for 24 hours supply of electricity in the state.

He, however, enjoined anyone interested in collaborating with his government to set up Independent Power Plant in the state, is welcome to do so.

He informed the audience that Anambra Investment Summit will be coming up soon in September, urging every business-conscious person to join the rest of the world at the summit.

He added that the summit will be “all about closing deals” and agreements’ signing. “Anambra is loading and the options are open.”

The event featured key Ndi-Anambra businessmen and women as well as members of the State Executive Council.

Here dawg

Igbos pls go home and invest. We beg you people in the name of God

On a serious note, asking igbos to come home and invest without proper plan to end insecurities is like removing fuel subsidy without palliative plans.

Soludo should end the activities of ipob and ugm in the state before asking igbos to come home and invest.

Lol
Home as it implies is a place of peace, comfort and Rest, if home was so good they wouldn't have left to find a fortune outside home in the first place...


Major cities and countries were not developed 100% by it's natives...

Most eastern states don't make policies like land acquisition act and fair play in various enterprise of life for Non native who are willing to invest into its economy, so the results is most non native resident in your region won't want to make permanent investment or generational wealth scheme in your states/region as it is considered as Volatility just as it is in forex/crypto (RISK OF LOSING ALL IN ONE FULL SWOOP)


The People You are calling home will only come as a retirement plan not to hustle or invest

To make Anambra investor friendly, developed and awesome, it’s not just by having its diaspora come home to invest. There has to be a root-and-branch overhauling of the structure and political-economy of Nigeria for this to happen…..back to pre ‘66 settings at the very least! Ditto almost every other state or region!

Let's be objective here igbos returning back home their investment they might not progress, so many left south east cus nothing was moving

How Guinness Nigeria Plc shot down it brewery in Enugu still surprised me till today

Let's hope they listen.

Deveropers of everywhere that can't deverop their home.

Your host will never respect you if you don’t have a livable and prosperous homeland.”

It's the sensible thing, Igbos are one interesting tribe.

long overdue

Everyone come back home

Those one fit come home. U forget Monday sit at home, make den con behead them abi. Abeg leave them alone. SW is the most safest place now.

They will go back maybe in the next 50 years, they are still busy helping us to develop Lagos and south west

Useless governor, I thought by now he would have made heaven out of Anambra.

Na so you wan take be president,

Foolish betrayal.

That's what they always say. When I tried opening a business in my home town, that's how my kinsmen frustrated me till I gave up. Instead of supporting you they will rather pull you down out of envy.

Aku

This is a good call. Charity begins at home.

Igbos are doing well outside their region and in the diaspora but to invest back home na problem.

Soludo wan open Lagos yansh now. If d Igbos leave Lagos, Lagos will be like sambisa forest. Yorubas sabi do business but not like igbos

One day Igbos will leave Lagos and never return as Ghana left Nigeria in 1971 and never return.

Just mark this day
