He urged Ndi Ihiala and its environs to unite together against insecurity in the zone by partnering with the State Government’s Joint Task Force on security. He stated that the present Government met almost the entire South Senatorial Zone taken over by gunmen, who are purely on blood business against the people of Anambra.

Mr. Governor made it clear that oil economy is on the high decline and the State Government is looking towards green revolution to revitalize its economy.

The Governor, Prof Soludo, passionately appealed to Ndi Ihiala to join him in his great dream that Ihiala Town and Ihiala LGA will rise and shine. He challenged Ndi Ihiala to be provoked and equally vowed to develop Ihiala as another mega industrial and commercial nerve of the Southeast beside Onitsha and Nnewi.
