The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has appointed Mr. Joachim Achor, a native of Abia State, as the Accountant General of Anambra State.
This appointment marks a decisive departure from the longstanding tradition of reserving top government positions exclusively for state indigenes and reinforces the Soludo administration’s commitment to meritocracy and inclusion.
Since assuming office in 2022, Governor Soludo has consistently demonstrated a bold and reformist vision by appointing non-indigenes into critical roles in his government, including as Permanent Secretaries—an unprecedented development in the political history of the state.

Mr. Achor’s elevation is not just symbolic; it is the culmination of a remarkable journey marked by resilience, professional excellence, and steadfast dedication to public service within the Anambra State Civil Service.
