In its ongoing regeneration drive, the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) approved the rehabilitation of the Amichi-Osumenyi Road, which would be completed by the Anambra Road Maintenance Agency (ARMA).
The State Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, stated that ANSEC awarded the contract to ARMA at the 17th Council meeting on 7th August, 2025, at the Light House Awka, together with other issues relating to the state’s development.
At the session, ANSEC also cautioned against the spread of misinformation and disinformation, urging citizens to rely on credible sources for information and to verify facts before sharing.
The Council’s decision aims to promote a peaceful and informed environment, particularly in the lead-up to the upcoming elections in Anambra State.
The move is also aimed at preventing the dissemination of fake news, which may have the potential to cause disorder in the state.
Recently, the Council approved the construction of the Nri-Agbanabo-Nimo Road, the Awka City Park Project, and the Solution Fun Club, designed to provide environmental, aesthetic, and recreational benefits to the state.
It also awarded the Ekwulobia to Nnobi Dualisation Road fourth dual carriageway Project, which completes the linking of the four major Anambra cities by dual carriageways, thereby completing the beltway to permit easy flow of traffic around the state.
In its effort at fostering a conducive business environment for investment purposes, the Council reviewed and approved the progress report for the 2024 Business Enabling Reforms Action Plan (BERAP).
Following the successful implementation of the flagship digital training programme, One-Youth-Two-Skills Scheme, ANSEC further approved Cohort Two of the scheme, with the execution process already in place.
This stems from the review of the success of Cohort One, where 7,163 out of 11,000 trainees excelled in 65 skill areas. Additionally, 235 apprentices from the Local Enterprise Development of 21 local governments in the state were successful, with over 1,000 millionaires emerging from the graduates.
