 Governor Soludo Expresses Discontent With Progress Of Work in the ongoing construction of Africa's Sillicon Valley, Gives Ultimatum To  Project Contractors.

In a surprise visit to the ongoing construction site of the highly anticipated Solution Innovation District, SID, Project, Governor Chukwuma Soludo expressed his dissatisfaction with the pace of work and urged contractors handling the project to step up their efforts.

The visit aimed at assessing the project's progress, which has been closely monitored by the state government, as the first iconic building is gradually taking root.

The Solution Innovation District Project, also known as Africa's Silicon Valley, is envisioned as a hub for technology and innovation, aimed at boosting Anambra State's economy and attracting investment.

During the visit, Governor Soludo, accompanied by key government officials and representatives from the contractor firm involved in the project, raised concerns over delays in construction that could hinder the project's objectives; a building that should have been delivered by February this year.

He expressed commitment to delivering the project on time for the benefit of ndị Anambra, and asked the contractors to explain why the contract should not be terminated, and the contract rewarded to another contractor.

While insisting on getting the keys to the completed project by November this year, the Governor warned that any contractor failing to meet their obligations and timelines would face immediate consequences.

The Governor later toured other aspects of the old government house, totaling thirteen hectares, which will accommodate the SID.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Innovation and Business Incubation, Mrs Chinwe Okoli, revealed that potential investors are already showing interest in the project, and appreciated the Governor for taking the lead in ensuring that the project comes alive.
