It is my honour to join the rest of the world and particularly Ndi Anambra in celebrating the Silver Jubilee Anniversary of our beloved State today 27th of August 2016.
Recall that the present Anambra State was created from the old Anambra State when the capital was in Enugu by the Military Government of General Ibrahim Babangida on the 27th of August, 1991.
It is true that our beloved State is not yet where we ought to be in terms of infrastructural development, education, agriculture, commerce and industry considering the human capacity and resources God endowed the state with. However, it is equally true that we have left where we used to be. In other words, we have made some progress.
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary, we have every reason to thank God for the progress so far made in the areas of infrastructural development, agriculture, education, commerce and industry etc.
May I therefore used this medium to specially salute our Governor, His Excellency Chief Dr. Willie Obiano for his visionary leadership and his passion for a better Anambra, which he has demonstrated through the various projects executed by his administration despite the economic challenges facing the nation.
May I equally salute the Honourable members of the Anambra State House of Assembly for their continued unalloyed support and greater service for the development of our dear State.
I will not fail to also salute our past leaders and Governors like, His Excellencies, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Chris Ngige and most especially Mr. Peter Obi for laying solid foundation for the growth and development of our dear State. Indeed, the labours of heroes past shall never be in vein.
As we celebrate this Silver Jubilee together, I enjoin us to see it as another opportunity for us to join hands together with the present administration to build on the existing foundations and lay new ones for a greater State that we all and our children yet unborn will be proud of.
Once again congratulations and happy anniversary.
Long live Anambra State!
Long live Nigerian!
NDI ANAMBRA, THE LIGHT OF THE NATION.
