By Lady TC, Awka.
Anambra State Commissioner for information, Dr. Law Mefor has expressed concerns over what he termed as inadequate publicity of the laudable achievements of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.
He said the governor in less than three years of his administration had performed tremendously beyond some other governors in their second tenure.
Speaking during a meeting with members of Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Anambra Council in his office, Mefor highlighted numerous giant strides of the current government, including road infrastructure.
He solicited collaboration with the Chapel to ensure a better robust, fair and full reportage of the state.
“Mr Governor has a solid blueprint for Anambra’s growth but I believe that Soludo’s achievement have not been fully presented. These achievements need more publicity and feedbacks.
“This is a government within two years, have awarded over 400 roads and completed more than 250 of them, yet without borrowing. He’s competing with other governors that are in second tenure.
“I believe in Soludo and my reasons are obvious. His political journey started in 2009 and I’ve been with him since then. He has made name and money so he’s not here to chase clout,” he noted.
“He told me he wants to rebuild Anambra and his blueprint is strategic. When we were presenting him to Nigeria for President, he said he needed to start with his state.
“The governor’s reputation resonates globally, and we must leverage this to attract investment and development. Anambra is truly the Light of the Nation. We have a rich heritage, and it’s time to showcase our successes.
“We must publicize Mr Governor’s efforts to showcase the state’s potential, including embarking on project tour.
“The media is my primary constituency. If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go with a group. I desire to work with you so please come along on this journey with me. I’ll be the bridge between you and government,” he emphasized.
Vice President of the Chapel, Nkeiru Nwagbo in her response, congratulated the Commissioner on his new appointment, assuring him of partnership.
