GOV. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has sworn-in 21 elected Local Government Chairmen and charged them to be hardworking and prioritise grassroots development during their tenure.

Speaking during the swearing-in at the Government House on Thursday in Awka, Soludo urged the new council executives to always put the residents first in all they do because they were elected to serve the people.

He told the chairmen that they were coming on board at a time the people expected much, urging them not to disappoint those who elected them.

“Congratulations on your victory at the polls. You have transmitted from the realm of politics to governance. Therefore, see yourselves as agents of positive change in your communities.

“Welcome to project Anambra. Let us work collaboratively to advance the common good of the people because ultimately, we have one goal which is the security and welfare of the people.

“As a team in project Anambra, we will not let the people down. You are now sworn-in, show us what you can do. The clock just started ticking.

“I wish all of you a very successful tenure in office,” the Governor said.

Speaking on behalf of the chairmen, Dr Chibuike Ofobuike, Chairman, Aguata LGA, thanked the governor for his leadership and promised their unalloyed support.

Ofobuike said they would build on the landmark achievements of the government at the grassroots.
