The Governor acknowledged that there have been notable changes since he last visited the Millennium City two years ago.
He commended Dr. Clem Nwogbo and his team for taking on the significant project, stressing that it served as an example of what a modern estate ought to be.
Soludo urged other estate developers in the state to join the already-in-progress modern housing revolution, noting that there are minimum standards that must be upheld.
He stated that the Awka Millennium City is a case study that his administration wants to mainstream as a model for modern housing to other estate developers.
“For our people who are spread out across the globe, if you don’t own a home here, you are missing out! The price goes up as you wait longer,” he said.
Soludo added, “For me, I will love to come here to build a home where I would like to live and enjoy.”
