Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has insisted that more than half of the indigenous population of Anambra live outside the state.
Soludo stated this while playing host to a delegation of United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria at the Governor’s Lodge in Awka,calling on the international community to assist his administration in its bid to build a prosperous and sustainable Anambra.
A statement by Christian Aburime, Soludo’s Press Secretary, said the UN team was led by Mr Marthias Schmale.
The Governor said the active participatory roles of international collaborators were crucial to the development of Anambra and the country in general.
Solido stated that the UN team’s visit was significant for Anambra and his administration in particular, especially at a time when the UN had not had an office in the entire South East for a long time.
According to him, “more than half of the indigenous population of Anambra live outside the state; my administration will soon inaugurate the Anambra Education Council, to further engender qualitative and accessible education.
We will also establish the Strategy Execution and Evaluation, ‘SEE’ office.
