Supporter the f late Sen Ifeanyi Ubah yesterday commended Gov Charles Soludo for the construction of the first General Hospital in Okpoko Ogbaru local government area of Anambra state.
The group which had been on a tour of projects executed by Gov Charles Soludo noted that successive administrations in Anambra state never found it proper and important to turn the popular Okpoko slump around but expressed gratitude to the governor for converting the town to a smart city.
According to the leader of the group Mr Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, , commended Governor Soludo for fulfilling his promise to transform Okpoko into a livable community.
“The transformation of Okpoko is a significant milestone in Governor Soludo’s efforts to develop Anambra State”
“Once plagued by poverty, neglect, and infrastructure decay, the community has been revitalized with modern amenities, including improved roads, a general hospital, and enhanced security”.
During the tour, residents, especially children, gathered en masse to express their gratitude to Governor Soludo, singing “Solution is here.”
Sylverleen Uche, a 21-year-old resident, praised Soludo for providing a general hospital, electricity, and a network of roads.
Dr. Chukwuma Ogbodike, Medical Director of the hospital, noted that the hospital site was once a refuse dump and swamp.
The hospital offers free antenatal and children’s treatment services and operates 24/7, thanks to a combination of electricity and solar power,Agbodike said.
Governor Soludo’s achievements in Okpoko and other areas of Anambra State have earned widespread recognition, demonstrating his administration’s commitment to transforming the state.
The Kamen-led team wrapped up their five-day tour of Soludo’s projects with a visit to the under-construction Drug Market at Oba in Idemili South Local Government Area.
This market is part of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s efforts to relocate the renowned Onitsha Head Bridge Drug Market to Oba, a project aimed at creating a modern international drug market .
