Keeping true to his campaign promise, Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has officially inaugurated the newly completed 13-kilometre Nzam Road, bringing long-awaited relief to residents of Anambra West Local Government Area.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
For decades, Nzam — the council headquarters — was cut off due to the absence of a motorable access road. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony after touring markets and other parts of the area, Governor Soludo described the project as a deeply personal milestone.
“This is an emotional journey for me,” the governor said in remarks shared by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime. “During the last gubernatorial campaign, I made a promise — with clear consequences if it wasn’t kept — that we would open up Nzam. Today, in September, we can finally drive into this community on a tarred road.”
The event also saw notable political figures from Anambra West declare support for the governor and join the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), which Soludo described as “more than a party — it’s a movement” in the state.
He reiterated that his administration’s focus remains on inspecting, commissioning, and launching impactful projects across Anambra. “We’re on a mission of transformation, reaching communities that have been forgotten or left behind,” he said.
Commissioner for Local Government, Mr. Tony-Collins Nwabunwanne, lauded the development, noting that every local government in the state has felt the impact of Soludo’s leadership in less than four years.
Similarly, APGA State Chairman, Barr. Ifeatu Obiokoye, welcomed the defectors from other political parties, recalling the governor’s campaign stop at Mmiata Anam and applauding him for keeping his word to connect Nzam to the rest of the state.
Speaking on behalf of the new APGA members, Chief John Ozoemena pledged their steadfast support for Governor Soludo’s re-election bid, saying the Nzam Road is proof of the administration’s commitment to inclusive development.
