The world acclaimed Professor of Economics said with the Anambra Vision 2070, the state is bound to witness radical and transformatory changes very soon.

“This event is particularly historic because exactly 50 years ago, the Nigeria civil war ended and 50 years after, Anambra state is working on Vision 2070 that will create a more dynamic state for the people in achieving their full potentials in life,” Soludo stated.

He explained further that with Anambra Smart Megacity plan, the state in no distant future is bound to witness an amazing revolution that will impact positively on the standard of life of Ndi Anambra.

Prof Soludo however stated that to achieve this lofty dream, everyone must be ready to be part and parcel of the new dawn in the state by making available their talents and skills towards its realization.

He further remarked that with the new dawn in Anambra state, Ndi Anambra in the diaspora will be proud to return home and contribute their own quota to the growth and development of the state.

He thanked the organizers of the event and the attendees for their valued time, resources and support.

Earlier before Prof Soludo’s Goodwill message came in via the telephone, Mr Joe Anatune, National Coordinator/Chief Strategist of the Soludo Promoters Forum had explained the vision and concept of the Anambra Smart Megacity to the audience

He had stated that the concept of the Smart Megacity will unleash endless opportunities in the state for the people to take full advantage of.

He said the concept will bring about quality manpower where Awka will be the educational hub and administrative centre and will technologically drive the concept.

While Onitsha will be developed to be the commercial hub with Nnewi becoming the Industrial hub while other adjoining towns will be planned as residential and recreational areas.

According to Anatune, the future of Anambra is bright with the coming into reality of these lofty dreams.

Anambra state, he asserted, will be the safest, most prosperous and happiest state in the world with the emergence of the envisioned Smart Megacity.
