Nnachetta said that council has directed all Presidents-General, yet to complete their projects, to do so without delay.

The communities are:

The commissioner, however, observed that a certain number of communities had yet to process the 2nd tranche of funds.
“These communities are asked to hasten up and conclude this process.
“Government is set to activate the third tranche shortly by March 2018 and completions of one and second tranches are clear prerequisites for communities to qualify.’’
On road infrastructure, “government is equipping the Anambra Road Maintenance Agency to operate three work teams in each of three senatorial zones and aggressively maintain the road network in the state.
“Ndi Anambra are encouraged to be watchful of the roads for repair and cooperate with the workforces.’’

He enjoined everyone to take extra care at improving cleanliness and watch out for any symptoms, which should be promptly reported to health authorities.
“Council requests all Local Governments, Churches and Unions to disseminate to our people to be extra vigilant in schools and public places.’’
On burial of elder statesman, Ekwueme, “Government notes with satisfaction and gratitude the cooperation of all and sundry — Ndi Anambra, Clerics, Schools, Markets, Corporate offices, transporters and Security services.
“Government also wishes to remind our people, particularly vigilances groups and President-Generals in the Oko and Umunze areas to protect and safeguard the recent huge investment on street lights undertaken by the Anambra Government.
