Gov Soludo Approves 3.9km Road Construction within Ojukwu Varsity
The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo in its 11th meeting with the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has approved the construction of 3.9 km of access roads within the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli Campus.
This was among other transformational projects awarded by ANSEC at the session held at the Light House, Awka, on Thursday, 16th June 2025.
According to the State’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, the decision for the road construction stems from Governor Soludo’s advancement of the educational sector, where he has made a great impact.
Furthermore, ANSEC also reached an agreement to rehabilitate more schools to improve the educational standard of the state further.
The Council affirmed that more public schools that had not received enough attention would now receive it, following the government’s clearing of inherited counterpart financing arrears up to 2024, and the expected Federal Government counterpart contribution.
This transformation recently spurred the procurement of smart boards in place of the approved interactive boards and the procurement of tablets for teachers in the 22 smart schools across the state, and the reconstruction of Boy’s Secondary School, Uga.
Furthermore, the governor’s free education policy has been extended up to Senior Secondary School Year 3 (SS3) and the state has recruited an additional 3,115 teachers, increasing the number to 8,115.
He has equipped over 60 secondary school laboratories with the required Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) equipment, and increased the operational budgets for primary and secondary schools to ensure they deliver the quality education promised.
Recently, the governor restored electricity to the Uli campus of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, in Ihiala Local Government Area, after 21 years of blackout, and also signed the provision of free internet access for the school.
