ANSEC MEETS, PLANS TO INTRODUCE A LAW FOR PROTECTION OF PUBLIC PROPERTIES, REGULATE SCRAP BUSINESS
On June 8, 2026, the Soludo government's second-term Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) met for the second time at the Light House, Awka, and made several significant decisions, including:
*ANSEC To Develop Policy For Mass Housing*
The Council decried the housing deficits in Anambra State. It resolved to tackle the supply side to address the twin issues of rising house rents and the private sector's partnership with the government to ensure sufficient housing in the state.
*Companies Bidding For Projects To Show Proof Of Tax Worthiness*
The Council insisted that tax worthiness be part of the prequalifications before any company can, henceforth, participate in bidding for projects in the state. This will further ensure that the state fully benefits from companies doing projects in the state as responsible corporate partners.
*Anambra To Involve Universities In The State In Project Designs And Evaluation*
The Council also resolved to henceforth, involve professionals of relevant departments and faculties in the universities in the state in project designs, execution and deliveries. This way, the professionals in the universities will be able to match theory with practice.
*Law On The Protection Of Public Properties And Scrap Dealers*
For purposes of monitoring and surveillance, the coming law will require the licensing of scrap dealers, including those dealing in scrapped vehicles. The legislation follows increasing reported cases of vandalism and theft of public properties in the state.
*Tribute To The Late Lt. Gen. Chikadibia Isaac Obiakor (Rtrd), A Distinguished Son Of The State*
The Council paid tribute and observed a minute of silence in honour of Lt. Gen. Chikadibia Isaac Obiakor, who passed recently. Lt. General Obiakor (Rtrd), an illustrious son of the state, had a meritorious military career as a member of the 10th Regular Course, serving the Nigerian Army and the nation at regimental, brigade, and divisional levels. Notably, he served as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division and later as the Chief of Administration at Army Headquarters. He also served with distinction as the force commander of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) and was the first African to ever hold the position of the United Nations military adviser for peacekeeping operations in New York in 2008.
