Governor Chukwuma Soludo recently called on investors to channel their resources into Anambra State, highlighting that such investments would serve their own interests.
His remarks came during the Anambra 2024 Economic Summit, held at the International Conference Centre in Awka, the state’s capital.
“Anambra is more than ready for investment,” Soludo affirmed to the attendees. “We are investing heavily in security, and in the coming weeks and months, Anambra will emerge as one of the safest places to do business.”
Emphasizing the strategic benefit of investing in the state, he continued, “We are not asking people to invest in Anambra as a favour to us. We are inviting them to invest for their own self-interest.”
The governor expressed optimism about the wave of investments beginning to flow into Anambra, and he reaffirmed his vision to transform the state from a place people often leave to a thriving destination. This commitment, Soludo noted, aligns with the promise he made at his inauguration in 2021—to develop Anambra into a state where he himself would choose to live even after his tenure.
The summit, now in its second year following the success of last year’s inaugural event, was designed to encourage potential investors to support Anambra’s developmental projects. It provided a platform for showcasing initiatives that have moved from initial conceptual stages to concrete, bankable opportunities.
This progression highlights the state’s readiness to turn ambitious visions into viable projects, offering investors both security and growth potential in the evolving landscape of Anambra State.
