The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), in conjunction with Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, held the HRM Obi Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe Lecture Series.
The lecture, ‘Achieving Peace and Reconciliation in Nigeria: The Public Relations Approach,’ held at the ETF Auditorium, COOU, Igbariam, attracted dignitaries from within and outside the state.
Speaking at the occasion, Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, welcomed the NIPR visitors to Anambra and encouraged them to see the sights and see for themselves that Anambra is being transformed by the Solution Government of Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo.
“Virtually all parts of Anambra are now construction sites. Up to 500 km of roads are awarded, with about 300 km of the roads completed and in use.
“Onitsha is being modernised. Awka is beginning to wear a true look befitting of a state capital with an array of road networks and a brand new government house, governor’s lodge, fun city, and entertainment centre, among others.“
Reacting also to the keynote lecture delivered by Prof. Pat Utomi, the commissioner said that Soludo was intentionally creating employers of labour through the One Youth, Two Skills Programme and free education up to senior secondary.
“Governor Soludo believes that the bridge to a happy and prosperous future is education, and that’s why he is also investing so much in education. Anambra just carted away the presidential prize for Nigeria’s best teacher and principal. That’s evidence of commitment to education, and the fruits it is yielding are now in plain sight,” Mefor said.
Dr. Mefor also told the audience that “Soludo’s government believes that the future of Anambra will be anchored in innovation and tech, and the digital community to drive this future is also being produced through digital infrastructure and the training of thousands of ICT professionals, thus creating a digital ecosystem for Anambra State. Yes, indeed, the solution is here.,” Mefor declared
