Anambra Governor Soludo Commends Tinubu for Approving Two Major Highway Projects

The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the design and procurement of two major highway projects, describing the development as a significant step towards rebuilding the South-East.

In a statement, Soludo said the President had demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing the region’s infrastructure deficit through strategic road projects that would boost economic activities and regional connectivity.

According to the governor, the approved projects are the dualisation of the 108-kilometre Otuocha–Anam–Abaji Road, which links Anambra State to Kogi State, and the 150-kilometre Oba–Nnewi–Uga–Ihube (Okigwe Junction) Road, connecting Anambra and Imo states to the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway through Abia State.
Soludo disclosed that after meeting with President Tinubu, the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, requested details of the proposed roads, which were subsequently submitted. He added that he was later informed that the President had approved both projects for design and procurement.

The governor described the roads as critical infrastructure that would transform transportation, enhance trade and strengthen economic ties between the South-East, South-South and North-Central regions.

Soludo also praised the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, for his efforts in facilitating the projects, expressing optimism that the road developments would accelerate economic growth and improve the lives of residents across the affected states.
