Anyaoku commends Soludo’s government house project
Emeka Anyaoku, a diplomat and former Commonwealth secretary-general, has commended Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra for the construction of the new Government House and Governor’s Lodge.
On Tuesday, Mr Anyaoku gave the commendation in Awka during a visit to the ongoing Government House project and other developments alongside Mr Soludo.
He described Mr Soludo as a visionary planner who seemed to have anticipated every possible need of Anambra.
He said, “I must commend Governor Soludo for being a visionary planner. The synchronisation of the arms of government — the Government House with the judiciary and the state assembly requires a visionary planner.
“As I have seen, these buildings are meant to last. I cannot see a future governor of Anambra building anything more in terms of residence or the office of the governor. It is tremendous.
“This is an extraordinary achievement, and I would like to congratulate Governor Soludo and his administration for leading this vast construction,’’ Mr Anyaoku said.
In response, Mr Soludo acknowledged that the 33-year-old wait for a befitting Government House and Governor’s Lodge would soon be over.
He stated that his administration was focused on building structures that would endure for generations.
The governor described Mr Anyaoku as Africa’s most distinguished statesman and thanked him for taking the time to tour the projects with him.
