Democracy is government of the people by the people for the people.
Institutionalizing democracy in Nigeria and Anambra state seems to be the surest way of bailing the nation out of the throes of national challenges that persistently undermine national image in the international circles. Many past administrations came up with different pillars of economic development initiatives aimed at delivering the much talk about dividends of democracy without achieving the desired goals.
Professor Chukwuma Soludo since assumption of office has demonstrated clear vision and political will of a great statesman on a journey to redefine good governance and set a template for future administrations.
The Governor’s pillars of economic development have within a little over three years transformed all sectors of the state economy and launched the state on course of sustainable development.
Governor Soludo’s free education policy provides opportunity for pupils in all public schools from nursery to senior secondary schools to acquire qualitative free education to help secure their future.
Governor Soludo is determined that all Anambra children have right to qualitative and functional education.
There is no doubt that children with qualitative primary and secondary education will attain their full potential in life because education is the propeller of human advancement and catalyst for innovation, economic growth and social change.
By providing free education, Governor Soludo has removed financial difficulties to acquiring quality and functional learning that will equip children adequately to drive the future of the society.
Governor Soludo’s free education has no doubt improved the fortune and future of many and liberated them from shackles of poverty through brighter socio-economic prospects.
This has remarkably improved school enrolment in public schools and reduced number of out-of-school children in the state.
Outstanding leaders like Professor Soludo have a view of today and a vision of tomorrow, through transforming state’s economic dreams and aspirations into a goal directed action as well as tackling problem before it becomes an emergency.
Through his Solution Strategy, Ndi Anambra have seen how to convert dreams and vision into a reality.
There is no doubt that Soludo Solution is leading Anambra State into a new dawn and his pillars and enablers which are the flight plan have moved the state to where we are today.
As the November eight Governorship election approaches, the Anambra electorate should be reminded of the need to sustain the present tempo of growth and development to consolidate on achievements already recorded.
