Gov. Willie Obiano has reaffirmed his determination and commitment towards the provision of maximum land, sea and air security/surveillance to Ndi Anambra on a round-the-clock basis.
The Governor assured that by the grace of God, this year’s Christmas/New Year celebrations will be the greatest ever in the state.
According to him, efforts have been intensified by the state’s security agents to beef up their act during the yuletide, assuring that there would be the usual surveillance to ensure that no loophole was created for criminals to operate in any part of the state within the period and beyond.
The Governor who made this known during a brief ceremony to commemorate the switching-on of some newly completed streetlight projects done by his administration in Awka, the state capital and environs, explained that a lot of Anambra-born billionaires in diaspora were beginning to heed the call to bring their wealth home and invest (Akurueuno) in the state because of their confidence in his administration.
He disclosed that his government would continue to create the enabling environment for the industrial ingenuity of the people to find expression in the state.
Gov. Obiano clarified that because of the state’s dwindling fortunes from the Federation Account, due to the economic recession, his administration had proactively attracted wealthy Ndi Anambra to sponsor all the Christmas decorations that are gradually springing up across major cities in the state to set the mood for a wonderful yuletide.
He pointed out that the beautiful decorations would further give impetus to ongoing Anambra’s 25th anniversary celebrations and immense joy to travellers passing through the state, especially at night, with a memorable experience of the transformation that has been going on.
Akpokuedike, like he’s fondly addressed, appealed to Ndi Anambra all over the world to come back home for Christmas and New Year, adding that Anambra is now the safest, most secured and most progressive state in Nigeria.
