(DDM) – Nigerian businessman and philanthropist Obi Cubana has paid a courtesy visit to Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo at the Government House in Awka, where he presented his vision and strategic plans for the City Boy Movement in the state.
The visit, which was shared on Obi Cubana’s official Instagram page on Friday, February 20, 2026, reflects his continued interest in youth empowerment and grassroots development. In his post, the entrepreneur expressed admiration for Governor Soludo’s leadership style and acknowledged the developmental strides recorded in Anambra under his administration.
According to Obi Cubana, the City Boy Movement is designed to complement the state government’s efforts in promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic inclusion. He explained that the initiative aims to provide structured platforms for young people to engage in productive ventures, build local enterprises, and strengthen participation in the state’s growing economy.
He emphasized that meaningful progress requires collaboration between government and the private sector. By working together, he noted, both sectors can create sustainable opportunities that empower communities and foster long-term growth.
Governor Soludo, in his remarks during the meeting, welcomed the initiative and commended Obi Cubana for his consistent investment in youth-focused programs and social development efforts. The governor highlighted the importance of partnerships that support innovation and enterprise, particularly in a state known for its strong entrepreneurial culture.
Observers view the meeting as part of a broader trend in which influential private sector leaders are increasingly engaging with state governments to drive development initiatives. Such collaborations are often seen as vital to addressing unemployment, enhancing skills development, and promoting inclusive economic growth.
The visit also underscores the growing role of civic-minded entrepreneurs in shaping social and economic conversations beyond their primary business interests. With Anambra positioning itself as a hub for enterprise and technology, initiatives like the City Boy Movement may further expand opportunities for young people seeking to build careers and businesses within the state.
As discussions around the movement continue, stakeholders will be watching closely to see how the proposed plans translate into practical programs and measurable impact for communities across Anambra.
