The Anambra State Government and security agencies have declared their readiness for the visit of President Bola Tinubu, scheduled for Thursday, May 8, 2025.
Final touches are currently being made on several key sites, including the new State Government Lodge, the Presidential Lodge, and the Awka Fun City, which are among the projects expected to be commissioned by the President during his one-day working visit.
Speaking with ‘The Nation’ on Tuesday, the State Commissioner for Information, Dr. LW Mefor, said all hands are on deck to ensure the visit is successful and memorable.
“The administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo has done a lot for the state, and the projects the President will be commissioning are a testament to that progress. Residents are genuinely excited,” he noted.
Security agencies have also intensified efforts to guarantee a safe environment for the visit. The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed that comprehensive security arrangements have been concluded.
He revealed that heads of all security formations in the state held a strategic meeting on Monday to coordinate operations.
As part of the preparations, some roads have been marked for closure on Thursday to ease the President’s movement and maintain security. Additionally, stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are meeting today (Wednesday) ahead of the President’s arrival.
Residents, especially members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), have expressed excitement over President Tinubu’s visit, viewing it as a recognition of the developmental strides under Governor Soludo’s administration.
