....To use premises for amusement park

By lFEANYI NDUKWE, AWKA

Governor Chukwuma Soludo has shut down the Anambra Printing and Publishing Corporation (ANPC), publishers of National Light Newspaper, Ka o di Taa (Igbo newspaper) Sportslight Extra (Sport newspaper). National Light was the corporation's flagship.

In a memo dated 21, July 2023 from the Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), addressed to the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer, ANPC, Sir Chuka Nnabuife asked him to start the winding down of the corporation activities that would lead to the disengagement of its staff.

The memo addressed among other issues reasons for its closure as being moribund, economically unviable, and no longer fit for purpose.

A follow-up letter dated 21 July 2023, was issued late this afternoon from the Office of the Head of Service (HoS) to the MD/CEO, Chuka Nnabuife. The memo informed of the corporation shutdown with effect from 1st September 2023.

The two memos which were read to the staff of the corporation on Tuesday afternoon, left all in shock as they queried Gov. Soludo's motivation for the closure of the corporation as against his legacy of Solution Movement.

They spoke of Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo State resuscitating the state-owned newspaper, Statesman. The also noted other state-owned newspapers running. And wondered why Gov. Soludo whose workers' expectation was making the newspapers more viable and nationally accepted.

They asked where his SOLUTION mantra lies. Since he promised fixing anything broken during his electionering campaign as professor of economics. He should make the place more viable and not shutting it down others queried.

It was gathered that despite several pleas from some commissioners, except the Commissioner for Information, Mr Paul Nwosu that Gov. Soludo was bent on destroying the paper's legacy, the pride of the state. Insiders informed that Gov. Soludo wants to use the corporation's expansive premises for an amusement park, which they allegedly said was connected to his family but under the guise of the state government public-private initiative.
It would be noted that Mr. Nwosu is the publisher of Anambra Times, besides, secretly working to undermine the activities of the National Light right the days as Senior Special Adviser to former Governor Obi. Now found a good ground with Gov. Soludo to destroy National Light.

The National Light is Nigeria's longest-running thriving state-owned newspaper. It prides itself on never being hiatus for once, compared to other states' newspapers, it has been publishing for more than 30 years.

If this is true, una sure say this man na actually a Professor? I want to believe he's a former head of CBN but I just can't can, I'm finding it difficult to do.

Because, profiling Nigerian politicians, the agbero touts among them are not different from the educated ones in terms of how they govern when they get to that seat.

Soludo doesnt even know what to do…

He underestimated what it meant to be a governor in the NIGGER AREA

I heard "disengaging the staff"

Why not redeploy them?

In his quest to provide SOLUTION, he is creating more problems.

very good. Soludo the SOLUTION

Be calming down, this won't hit the front door

ipobarecriminals:
very good. Soludo the SOLUTION

Omo

Source?

Resist him if true

He messed up in the CBN and didn’t know what he was doing, it’s outsiders that thought he was a miracle worker

Soludo does not like that them that's why He is doing what he doing.

Victim mentality no be here ooo.
