Governor Abayomi Oyebanji has commended Governor Charles Soludo for developing Anambra.

Mr Oyebanji gave the commendation while speaking in Awka after he visited and toured the ongoing government house and governor’s lodge projects in the company of Mr Soludo on Wednesday.

“Soludo has amazingly transformed Anambra in less than three years in office. I recall my experience in Anambra six years ago but today, notable transformations can be seen. Anambra is blessed to have Soludo as governor.

“All the communities in Anambra are built up and witnessing visible changes and transformations. In fact, there is no village in Anambra anymore.

“Soludo is a rallying point for most of us. I congratulate him for the new government house and governor’s lodge, as well as other infrastructure projects he is embarking on,” Mr Oyebanji said.

Earlier, Mr Soludo said infrastructure development remained vital to the state’s progress.

According to him, the buildings represent his administration’s commitment to transparency and efficiency in governance.

Mr Soludo thanked Mr Oyebanji for the visit and the solidarity between the states.

“Welcome to Anambra, governor. We are proud to have you here. I hope to share our journey with you and explore opportunities for partnership,” he said.
