By Juliana Nwachukwu :

The Mayor of Onitsha South Local Government Area and Soludo National Convener for 2025, Sir Emeka Orji, Oba Armani, has congratulated the Executive Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, as he emerged the most fiscal Governor in Nigeria.

The Onitsha Mayor said that it was not a surprise to him because the governor has maintained trajectory and pedigree in utilizing public funds even when he was the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

In 2005 and the subsequent years (2006 and 2007) Soludo was recognized as the global winner and the best African Governor of Central Bank.

In less than three years of Soludo’s administration, he has shown a commitment to prudent fiscal management, resulting in the state’s inclusion in the fiscal performance for the first time, and applauded the Governor for utilizing Ndi Anambra money in the right direction.

In a related development, Anambra State ranked among the top five best fiscal performers in the country in the Budget 2023 Fiscal Transparency Index publication and rose to third position in the same ranking in 2024.

“Prof. Soludo is the only Governor that equates input of public office holders with their output; thereby reducing the wastage in governance”, Orji posited.
