From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
The Anambra State government has officially named the newly inaugurated Government House Mini City, constructed by Governor Chukwuma Soludo, ‘The Light House Awka.’
Rising from the weekly State Executive Council meeting in Awka, the state Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, said that after deliberating over a suitable name for the Mini City which Governor Soludo has described as “a functional centre of governance”, the council christened and proclaimed the new Anambra Government House Mini City, the “Light House Awka,” in keeping with Anambra State’s slogan, “Light of the Nation.”
“ANSEC explored how to completely restore Anambra society, reshape its moral and social structures, and establish the project as a lasting legacy of the Soludo administration.
“ANSEC relived the spectacular Special International Children’s Day (May 27) 2025 celebration at Solution Fun City and gave the children credit for their good conduct despite their large numbers.”
He also disclosed that the EXCO also announced the establishment of the Anambra State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
“To perform its functions as contained in the recently assented Anambra State Electricity Law, ANSEC decided to immediately establish the Anambra State Electricity Regulatory Commission and launched a recruitment drive for experts to join the new commission,” Mefor said.
Similarly, the state executive council decided that all facilities used as holding places for child beggars in the state are to be confiscated and sealed in compliance with extant laws.
