The Executive Chairman of Nnewi North LGA, Hon. Echezona Anazodo, has outlined a bold vision for Nnewi markets in line with Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s urban renewal agenda for Anambra State.
While addressing a town hall during the Nnewi community monthly meeting on Sunday, Hon. Anazodo stressed that the governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has given a clear roadmap for the actualization of his government’s development agenda in which urban regeneration is key.
Speaking on the challenge of urban renewal in Nnewi, Anazodo emphasized that Nnewi cannot be left behind the rest of Anambra State.
He also pointed out that the ongoing efforts in the markets to rebuild some shops reflect the governor’s urbanization agenda.
The Chairman equally observed that there are too many illegal structures in the markets, in clear violation of the master plan. This challenge, he said, would be duly addressed.
A few weeks ago, the Local Government Chairman flagged off farmers’ empowerment initiative where, according to the records of the local government, over 400 farmers have been empowered with enhanced seedlings and other support.
This initiative, the Chairman mentioned during the town hall meeting, will be sustained so as to strengthen farmers in Nnewi towards food sufficiency for the commercial and industrial town.
Furthermore, Mr. Anazodo also took the time to discuss some of his interventions in the health sector and waste management in Nnewi North LGA, pledging to do more, to the admiration and appreciation of the people.
