Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.

The Anambra State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling environmental degradation by approving several strategic measures to drive environmental action, investment and digital talent development.

The government also approved a ₦200 billion capital base for the Anambra Development and Investment Corporation, with the state committing to contribute up to 30 per cent of the capital.

The decisions were contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, following the fourth meeting of the Anambra State Executive Council held at the Government House, Awka, on June 29.
