The Anambra State government has received a donation of 10 vehicles under the Public- Private- Community- Partnership model.
The donation underscores the growing role of the PPCP model in mobilizing private resources to support public development in the state.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Governor Chukwuma Soludo highlighted the security turnaround in Ukpor, Nnewi South local government area, saying that the community once known for instability, is now among the safest in the state following targeted interventions and collaboration with residents.
Governor Soludo who described the partnership with the community as the kind of civic engagement that would sustain long-term progress and reshape Anambra also restated his administration’s “Open Society Agenda”, emphasizing its focus on driving infrastructure and economic growth.
The governor further announced that a Kaolin processing plant is under construction in Ukpor and would soon be commissioned, even as he noted that the project demonstrates that Ukpor has valuable resources and is positioned to become an industrial hub.
Governor Soludo thanked Chief Cletus Oragwa of Zenco Group for the gesture and civic commitment, and praised the Anambra citizen who have embraced the “Homecoming Spirit.”
Earlier, Mr Ikenna Mbazulike-Amechi, who presented the vehicles on behalf of Chief Oragwa, said the gesture was to support the governor’s security efforts.
