Anambra State governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo has re-emphasised the immediate agenda of his administration, which he said, is to secure the state and take it back from criminal elements currently on the prowl.
Soludo made the remark at a special dinner with Ndi Anambra in Lagos on Wednesday, May 11, 2022
He lamented that insecurity that has become prevalent in the state, adding that the challenges facing the State are humongous. He vowed to rescue the state from hoodlums who have taken kidnapping and killings as a lucrative enterprise
Governor Soludo therefore called on wealthy indigenes of the state to donate generously to the State Security Trust Fund stressing that the State government does not have all the resources to effectively combat the rising insecurity in its domain.
He also called on Ndi Anambra to repatriate at least 50 percent of their investments home to boost the economic development of the state
