Soludo made the plea in Nnewi when he paid homage to the town's monarch, His Royal Highness Kenneth O. N. Orizu 111 who celebrated his 59th-year reign and 97th birthday, recently.
The Governor lamented the dilapidated state of the Nkwo Triangle, a renowned business hub of the town, stressing that he was prepared and ready to develop Nnewi, nicknamed “The Japan of Africa ” to an enviable status if the community agreed to accept his hand of fellowship and work with him.
Soludo who described Orizu 111 as the foremost, the vibrant, and oldest reigning monarch in Anambra, stated that Nnewi has abundant untapped resources which could be exploited and harnessed to develop the town and state, adding that he was ready to develop Nnewi if the people accepted to work with him, even as he said Nnewi would power the proposed Anambra Automotive Park.
“Nnewi has abundant resources that can serve the whole Anambra State. I am ready, and prepared to develop Nnewi if you agree with me. I am saying Nnewi come, work with me to develop, Nnewi and Anambra State”, Soludo said.
