Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, says wealthy indigenes should take advantage of the initiative by his administration to develop the state.

Paul Nwosu, Anambra commissioner for information, said in a statement on Thursday that Soludo’s administration has initiated the public-community-private partnership (PCPP), under which wealthy citizens can adopt a project for development.

“Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, has a well-thought-through pragmatic agenda to transform Anambra state into a liveable and prosperous homeland that every Anambra person will be proud of,” the statement reads.

“The illustrious sons and daughters of Anambra state, home and abroad, have a sacred duty to partner with Governor Soludo at this critical time to transform our dear state into a viable and enviable prosperous corridor in this country.

“Mr. Governor is therefore inviting wealthy Ndi-Anambra in the country and the diaspora to take advantage of the public-community-private partnership (PCPP) by collaborating with the state government to engage in developing specific projects in their respective communities and local governments.

“They can get involved by adopting schools, health facilities, roads, water projects, etc. in their communities.

“They can construct new ones; renovate and rehabilitate existing ones; provide the needed equipment to make the facilities function optimally, and so on.

“Some prominent Ndi Anambra have already started this partnership, as exemplified in the string of projects commissioned by Governor Soludo at the end of the year.”
