ANSEC APPROVES TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR THE POOR, DEVOLUTION OF MORE POWERS TO LGS AND AWARDS CONTRACT FOR THE REHABILITATION OF VANDALISED INJECTION SUB-STATION AT CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU UNIVERSITY, IGBARIAM CAMPUS
The 35th Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) meeting observed a prayer for the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who represented Anambra South at the 10th National Assembly, to rest in peace. Governor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, recalled how he led the Government delegation to the burial at Nnewi, and how the senator’s passing was a major loss that served as a reminder of our mortality.

The Council restated that the Anti-touting Law of Anambra State remains in force and strongly advised touts to join the Soludo administration’s empowerment schemes for legitimate livelihoods.
