Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has approved the sum of ₦200 billion for the Anambra State Investment Corporation (ANSIC). This landmark allocation underscores the state government’s commitment to driving sustainable economic growth, attracting large-scale investments, and positioning Anambra as Nigeria’s premier investment destination.
The funding will enable the Anambra Investment Corporation to execute strategic initiatives including infrastructure development, industrial parks, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and high-impact projects across key sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, technology, real estate, and services. It is expected to catalyse private sector participation, create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, and significantly expand the state’s revenue base.
Governor Soludo, while announcing the approval, reiterated his administration’s vision of building a prosperous and livable Anambra: “This ₦200 billion investment in the Anambra Investment Corporation is a game changer. We are not just allocating funds we are investing in the future of our people. ANSIC will serve as a world-class vehicle to unlock Anambra’s enormous economic potential, attract both local and foreign investors, and deliver tangible dividends of democracy to Ndi Anambra.”
The Anambra Investment Corporation is tasked with managing the funds prudently, ensuring transparency, accountability, and measurable returns on investment. The Corporation will work closely with local and international partners to develop bankable projects that align with the Soludo administration’s development agenda.
This bold step further demonstrates Governor Soludo’s proactive approach to governance, building on previous achievements in road infrastructure, security, education, and healthcare, while accelerating Anambra’s journey towards becoming a top-tier economy in Africa.
