Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has stated that the Anambra West Council Area, which is endowed with human and natural resources is envisioned to unlock the socio-economic potential of the state as it stands to reap bountifully the benefits of planning and effective land use.
Governor Obiano stated this during the public presentation of the Council’s 12-year Development Plan to stakeholders at Professor Dora Akuyelli Women Development Centre, Awka, on Tuesday,10th August 2021.
The Governor represented by the State Commissioner for Lands and Rural Development, Mr Bonaventure Enemali, informed that the Master or Development Plan was designed to propel the sustainable growth of the area by re-organising and infusing the area with supporting infrastructure to create a more livable, lively and lovely environment for the Anambra West population.
He pointed out that the Plan, which was initiated a few years ago, had been revived to complement and align with the present Administration`s Theme agenda of Willie Obiano.
“It gives me great pleasure to state that the Council Area, has by this noble cause, received the well-deserved attention of the State Government, while its potentials, natural, man-made and human, have been considered, mapped and modelled to achieve the Policy Directives of the Pillars in the Agenda of governor Willie Obiano, he said.
He explained that the Council Area was endowed with well built-up settlements, very rich historical culture, expansive wetlands and rain forest zones, all that was yet to be fully explored for the inherent and chain potential.
The Transition Committee Chairman of Anambra West Local Government Area, Sir Sylvester Okafor, noted that the plan must be an achievable one through an outlined approach and used the opportunity to admonish the people against vandalizing government infrastructure as the first step to bringing growth and development.
In his remark, the Chairman of the Committee, Igwe Pius Omachonu, and his Vice, Professor Chukwuemeka Jaja-Nwanegbo, revealed that the plan is tailored in a way to make it achievable through an implementation monitoring process, which is divided into four years each, after which it will be reviewed, including harnessing the agricultural potentials amongst others in the local government.
