The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has advised Anambra businessmen and women in Lagos State that Anambra is ready for business and investing in the state will be in their best interest.
Soludo appealed to Anambra people to always think home by imbibing the ‘homeland consciousness’ and to also ensure that part of their taxes are paid to the state, irrespective of where they reside or work.
The governor stated these during a town hall meeting with Anambra residents in Lagos while enumerating some of the progress made so far by his administration after one year in office.
He told his audience to strive to contribute their quota to the development of the state, adding that God did not make a mistake by making them Anambra people.
This is according to a press statement by Soludo’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, on Friday.
The governor, therefore, enjoined the people to reflect deeply on it and do everything possible to contribute to the growth of the state.
He said, “This is the same question I ask myself every day. And we have a responsibility to leave Anambra State better than we met it.
“The need to change Anambra State from a departure lounge to a destination, the homeland consciousness must be inculcated in the perceptual mind of every Onye-Anambra.
“Your host will never respect you if you don’t have a livable and prosperous homeland.”
