AND ITS STRUCTURES
Anambra governance structure proves true Aristotle political theory of over a thousand years. Aristotle said that “If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the Government to the utmost” Ndi Anambra have been in pursuit of both liberty and equity all through history.
Governance in Anambra State is based on the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which provides for a Three-Tier governance structure of federal, State and local Government each having an executive, legislative and judicial arm.
Since the return of Democratic rule in 1999, Anambra State, like every other State in Nigeria has an executive arm of Government led by an elected Governor, the legislative arm that is made up of the elected members of the house of assembly and the Judiciary headed by the Chief Judge of the State.
“As a humane and progressive government, we shall strive to deliver the difficult change with a human face. As we transit into a non-oil economy, our strategy is a small open economy framework embedded in 21st Century imperative of Everything Technology: we seek to bring the world to Anambra and take Anambra to the world especially in the context of the African continental free trade area (AfCFTA).”
