The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Anambra State Urban Water Asset Holders Corporation, Chief Ikeobi Ejiofor has adviced government opposition camps seeking to contest with Governor Chukwuma Soludo in the forthcoming governorship election in the state to wait for another time to renew their ambition as they have nothing to campaign for.
In a press statement in Awka ahead of the June 11th scheduled date for the flag off of political parties campaigns in the state, Chief Ejiofor disclosed that Governor Soludo has touched all sectors of the economy and redefined governance to an enviable height.
According to the Managing Director, the governor’s campaign promises which anchor on giving qualitative services to the people, are being masterfully delivered.
In the area of health where Anambra State bagged the first position in Nigeria in the primary health care delivery services, Chief Ejiofor mentioned the free ante natal services for expectant mothers and the state health insurance policy as other advances in the health policy of the present administration.
On security, the Managing Director expressed joy that the state hitherto under the siege of unknown gunmen is gradually returning to normalcy courtesy of the domestication of the Anambra State Homeland Security Law which gave birth to the “Operation Udo-Ga Achi’.
On entertainment and leisure, Chief Ejiofor a one time Chairman of Anaocha Local Government Area okayed the establishment of the Solution Funcity Awka which has provided an avenue for entertainment and leisure for both the young and old in the society.
The Funcity project according to the MD, will not only create employment opportunities for many, but will also ameliorate the propensity for youths to indulge in criminality and other unwholesome practices.
He gave kudos to Governor Soludo and his wife Nonye Soludo for bringing their wealth of experience to bear in the re engineering of the psyche of the upcoming generation of youths to aspire towards greatness.
In the water sector, the Managing Director announced that the taps are running in some strategic locations in Awka, Onitsha etc and the services are free.
According to him, such public facilities which are expected to be protected by the general public, will surely graduate into being reticulated in homes in fulfilment of the mission of the state government,
Chief Ejiofor announced that government will clear another batch of the financial entitlements of the staff members of the defunct Water Corporation.
