Residents of Fegge, Onitsha South Local Government area have poured encomiums on the Governor of Anambra state, Professor Chukwuma Soludo CFR, for what they tagged ‘Solution Giant Strides in Onitsha’.
They gave the commendations when the Governor attended a town hall meeting with Fegge Landlords Association and residents held last Friday at Fegge.
The Chairman of the Onitsha South chapter of All Progressive Grand Alliance, (APGA), Chief Uche C. Umennakenyi, said that the governor has made them proud by constructing the Port Harcourt road and other roads in Fegge and urged him not to relent in making the state a better place to live in.
He vowed that those who dump refuse into the drainages and block the road would not go unpunished adding that the governor’s achievements would speak for him come 2025 gubernatorial election.
The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has vowed to offer #10 million to the first street in Onitsha to complete their repainting from February 1 to March 10 this year.
The Governor made this vow through the Commissioner for environment, Mr Felix Odimegwu during an interactive session with Onitsha landlords at Onitsha South Local Government Area Secretariat on February 5.
According to him, the runners up will receive #5 million while the third position will smile home with #3 million.
“We are here for the follow up of the last visit here where our governor sent his deputy to come and interact with the Fegge landlords on degeneration and facelift of Onitsha.
“We want to do this thing in three folds; repainting, where the governor brought out a challenge ‘Ka Anambra Chakee’ which prompted him to set a cash gift to any street that comes together, discuss and embark on this initiative, paint from street end to street end.
“It is the wish of the governor to embark on this initiative. He said that he would be here on Friday for you to see him and hear also that he is the one that sent us here. This is an agenda that is not hard to do and also it is for our health benefit.
“Another one is cleaning of drainages. Onitsha was last rated as the dirtiest place in West Africa but this government since it came, is deliberate to change Onitsha from the present narrative and place it on the right direction it should be.
“Since solid roads constructions are going on, it will be an eyesore that the environment, buildings within these roads are dilapidated, we all know that paints help in protecting houses, so we are here to appreciate the governor.
“Fegge is well planned, when we painted all our houses, plant trees, it will make your properties valuable, appreciate naturally and also conducive for foreign investors and businesses.”
