Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, has urged a stronger and more structured partnership between the state government and Christian leaders to promote moral renewal, responsible leadership, and sustainable development across the state.

Speaking at the 2026 Church Shift and Holy Spirit Conference held at the International Convention Centre, Awka, Soludo said while government has the constitutional authority to enforce laws and maintain order, it cannot transform the human heart, a responsibility he said rests largely with the church and other moral institutions.

The governor explained that his administration’s Public-Private-Community Partnership (PPCP) development model is built on collaboration, stressing that lasting progress can only be achieved when government, the private sector, communities, and faith-based organizations work together.

He expressed concern over the growing decline in moral values and the increasing pursuit of personal gain at the expense of integrity, urging religious leaders to continue serving as agents of positive change and character development.
