The Deputy Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Chukwuma Pius Okoye, has applauded Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo for the ongoing transformation of an abandoned federal health facility in Nibo, Awka South Local Government Area, into a State Rehabilitation Centre.
The facility, which had been left unused for several years, drew the attention of Nibo community leaders, who raised concerns over its dilapidated condition and lack of utility.
In response, the Anambra State Government, under the leadership of Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, awarded a reconstruction contract valued at ₦417.2 million for its complete overhaul and upgrade.
Speaking on the development, Rt. Hon. Okoye, who represents the constituency where the project is located, described the intervention as a practical demonstration of Governor Soludo’s inclusive approach to governance.
“This is a clear testament to the Governor’s commitment to ensuring that no part of the state is left behind in the ongoing transformation agenda. The swift response to the Nibo community’s call reflects a government that listens and acts,” he said.
He further noted that when completed, the rehabilitation centre will address critical gaps in healthcare and social services, benefiting not just Nibo but surrounding communities as well.
The Deputy Speaker urged continued collaboration between the state government and host communities to ensure the effective utilisation and sustainability of public infrastructure across Anambra State.
