Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo welcomes President Bola Tinubu’s approval of two major federal road projects affecting the South-East region. In statements shared online, Soludo says Tinubu has approved the design and procurement for the Otuocha–Anam–Abaji Road and the Oba–Nnewi–Uga–Ihube Road, describing the move as an effort to address long-standing infrastructure neglect in the region. Soludo frames the approvals as part of a broader rebuilding agenda that could improve connectivity and support national integration.
The reports specify that the Otuocha–Anam–Abaji Road links Anambra to Kogi State, while the Oba–Nnewi–Uga–Ihube Road connects parts of Anambra and Imo to the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway. One account also cites the timeline of Soludo submitting proposals after meeting Tinubu on July 1, with confirmation later that the projects would proceed to design and procurement. Multiple outlets report Soludo’s public reaction expresses joy and credits Tinubu for the approvals, though the coverage focuses mainly on the road projects themselves rather than project cost or completion dates.
