THE Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has approved over N16.7 billion for critical infrastructure projects spanning road construction, power supply, erosion control and urban renewal across the state.
Law Mefor, state’s Commissioner for Information, disclosed this in a statement released after the first ANSEC meeting of 2026 held at the Light House, Awka.
Mefor said the bulk of the approval, N15.96 billion, was for the construction and dualisation of the 33–Nsugbe–Aguleri Road with a one-span bridge, awarded to Ferotex Construction Company Ltd.
He said the project was aimed at massive traffic decongestion along the Onitsha, Nkwelle and Nsugbe corridors, while further opening up the state in line with the Anambra Beltway initiative.
The commissioner said the council also approved N497.03 million for the reclamation, re-channelisation and remediation of a gully erosion site at Umugama-Ire Village, Abba, Njikoka Local Government Area, awarded to P & K International Ltd.
According to him, N159.6 million was approved for the supply and installation of solar streetlights along Oye Market Road, Isuofia, with the contract awarded to Vigeo-Dome Ltd.
He added that N56.39 million was approved for the supply and installation of a 500kVA, 33/0.415kV transformer at Irueyim Community, Nteje, in Oyi Local Government Area, awarded to Kennolly Enterprises.
Mefor said the approvals were complemented by policy decisions to further facelift Nnewi and Nnobi, as well as enforce standard road setbacks on newly constructed dual carriageways to enhance safety and pedestrian mobility.
He said the fund approvals reflected the commitment of the Soludo administration to accelerated infrastructure delivery, urban regeneration and environmental sustainability across Anambra.
