Ekwulobia, a vibrant town in Anambra State, is on the verge of a remarkable transformation into the state’s fourth cosmopolitan city, all thanks to the visionary leadership of Governor Charles Soludo. As part of his administration’s comprehensive urban regeneration initiative, Governor Soludo will be developing modern infrastructure and amenities that will amplify the quality of life for residents and attract investment.
Recognizing the potential of Ekwulobia as a key urban center, Governor Soludo is implementing strategic and proactive measures to ensure that this emerging city does not fall into the pitfalls of unplanned growth. By prioritizing sustainable development, the governor aims to prevent Ekwulobia from becoming another self-help city, where essential services and infrastructure are lacking.
