In a statewide broadcast from Awka, Soludo urged citizens to view the anniversary not just as a celebration of the past but as a call to action for a healthier, more sustainable Anambra. He emphasized the need for collective responsibility in environmental protection.
“This anniversary is a reminder of the future we are building together—a prosperous Anambra for our children,” he stated. “The environmental challenges we face demand urgent attention.”
The governor unveiled a renewed "Clean and Green Initiative," aimed at fostering community participation in environmental protection. He stressed the importance of moving from urban concrete landscapes to greener, more sustainable environments.
“Government cannot tackle this alone. Erosion and flooding, which have devastated homes and farms, can only be mitigated when every citizen plays their part,” Soludo asserted, encouraging tree planting and proper waste disposal.
He also reflected on the progress made in addressing insecurity since taking office but identified environmental degradation as Anambra’s most pressing challenge.
“Across the globe, nations are prioritizing green initiatives. For Anambra, it’s time to embrace this shift intentionally,” he added.
First Lady Dr. Nonye Soludo praised the resilience of Anambra residents over the past 35 years, recognizing their efforts to make the state a place of promise and potential.
“Anambra is defined by our communities’ strength and the brilliance of our people. As we celebrate, let us continue to build a state where every child can dream and every family can thrive,” she said.
The governor concluded by urging all citizens to engage actively in environmental conservation efforts, framing it as a vital step toward a sustainable future for Anambra.
As the state marks this milestone, the call for unity in addressing environmental challenges sets a hopeful tone for the years ahead, aiming for a greener, more prosperous Anambra.
