Governor of the Year? Here's Why Anambra's Getting the National Spotlight!
Celebrating Impactful Leadership, Then and Now!
Though March 17, which marked the third anniversary of Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo's administration, may have passed, the milestones of his visionary leadership and bold reforms continue to resonate.
Just one month later, that same legacy is being recognized nationally.
On April 12, 2025, Governor Soludo was named Vanguard Newspaper’s Governor of the Year 2024/2025 for Good Governance, a powerful validation of three years of bold reforms, innovative governance, and people-focused policies.
This award is not just about the past; it’s a nod to a future already in motion: one powered by people, purpose, and technology. From the moment he took office, Mr. Governor cast a bold vision: to build a smart, livable, and prosperous homeland, and the results are speaking for themselves.
Congratulations, Oluatuegwu! Cheers to more wins!
