The Anambra State Urban Water Asset Holdings Corporation (ASUWAHC) has begun preparations for its 2027 budget with an interactive management session focused on setting priorities to guide the Corporation’s operations and strategic development in the coming year.
On July 9, the session was led by the Head of the Special Projects Department, Aloysius Aniazoba, who represented the Officer-in-Charge, Emmanuella Okafor, describing the exercise as a demonstration of ASUWAHC’s commitment to proactive planning and prudent resource management.
speaking on behalf of the Officer-in-Charge, Mr. Aniazoba urged heads of departments and units to provide comprehensive, realistic, and implementable inputs for the 2027 budget, noting that each department has a critical role in developing a budget that aligns with the Corporation’s mandate and strategic goals.
He emphasized that a carefully prepared budget serves as the foundation for effective programme implementation, improved institutional performance and prudent allocation of resources. He, therefore, encouraged participants to ensure that their submissions reflect the operational needs and development priorities of their respective departments.
To coordinate the exercise, the Head of the Planning Unit, Philip Odunze, was tasked with collating departmental submissions and harmonizing them into a comprehensive 2027 budget document for management’s consideration.
The session provided an opportunity for departmental heads to exchange ideas, identify priority projects and outline critical areas requiring budgetary attention.
Discussions focused on practical strategies for improving operational efficiency, strengthening internal processes, and enhancing service delivery across the corporation.
The meeting highlighted ASUWAHC’s emphasis on teamwork and participatory planning, with contributions from the various departments expected to shape a realistic and forward-looking budget framework for 2027.
At the close of the session, Mr. Aniazoba urged all heads of departments and units to submit their budget proposals within the stipulated timeframe to enable the planning unit to begin the harmonization process, stressing that timely, realistic and well-articulated submissions would contribute to a credible 2027 budget capable of driving operational efficiency, strengthening institutional performance, and supporting ASUWAHC’s strategic objectives in the year ahead.
