While emphasising his administration’s war against criminality, Soludo averred “Let us unite as one people and resist the tide of insecurity. The government is doing its part, but lasting peace requires the cooperation and vigilance of the entire community.”
Governor Soludo revealed ambitious plans to develop notable attractions such as the Owerre-Ezukalla waterfall and cave, alongside the renowned Ogbunike cave, to boost tourism, create job opportunities, and stimulate economic growth in the region.
Echoing the governor’s vision, local officials expressed gratitude for his leadership and commitment to development. The Mayor of Orumba South, Mr. Shaedrack Azubuike, commended the governor for his relentless efforts to transform the region.
Dr. Foster Ihejiofor, the State’s Commissioner for Agriculture, avowed “Your leadership has instilled hope in our communities and set a new benchmark for development.”
