PRESS RELEASE
The Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) held its 7th meeting of the second term of the Soludo administration today, and approved key decisions ahead of the state’s 35th anniversary.
Presided over by Mr Governor, the Council noted that Anambra State will be 35 years on August 27, 2026, having been created on August 27, 1991.
As part of activities to mark the milestone, ANSEC announced the commissioning of the Ekwulobia Flyover and the Amawbia-Ekwulobia-Uga Dual Carriageway. A committee has been tasked to work out other activities for the anniversary celebration.
Tougher Measures on Building Collapse
In a move to safeguard lives and property, ANSEC resolved that engineers and approving officials found culpable in building collapse incidents will be held accountable. This will include prosecution where negligence or other unlawful actions are established.
The Council further directed the intensification of integrity tests on mass housing facilities, including students’ hostels across the state, to avert disasters associated with structural failures.
More Smart Schools Completed
ANSEC also confirmed that more smart schools have been completed and will open for admission in the September/October 2026 academic session to join the other smart schools already running in the state. One of the new smart schools is the Uga Boys Boarding Smart School.
The State Ministry of Education will, in due course, release full details to enable interested Ndi Anambra to enroll their wards in the Smart Schools.
