With the 2025 Anambra governorship race drawing near, the President of  National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Olushola Oladoja, has thrown his weight behind the re-election of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, citing massive infrastructural achievements as justification.

Oladoja, who is on  national campus  tour to South Eastern states made the endorsement  when he  visited key project sites in Awka including the newly constructed Government House and the  Solution Fun City. He was received by the Managing Director of  Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA), Dr. Ossy Onuko.

Speaking to Journalists after the tour, the NANS president described the new Government House as one of the best in Nigeria, praising its architectural design and functionality.

“This is a government house built with intention and vision. It is one of the most I have seen across the country. Governor Soludo has done exceptionally well,” Oladoja said.

He lamented the lack of adequate media coverage of the governor accomplishments, urging  Anambra government to work with the media.

“Soludo needs to invest more in media. Many outside Anambra are unaware of the scale of development going on here. The world deserves to see this,” he noted.

At the Solution Fun City, a major recreational and tourism hub also visited, Oladoja was visibly impressed. He commended the transformation of what he said was once a swamp into a state of the art facility.

“This project is proof of Soludo's foresight and determination. If I had a vote in Anambra, it would go to him. NANS is fully behind him for a second term,” he declared.

On his part, ACTDA boss Dr. Ossy Onuko said the tour covered only a small portion of the administration achievements. He revealed that Governor Soludo has awarded over 750 kilometers of road projects, out of which more than 450 kilometers have been completed and asphalted, including several federal road dualization projects.

“Soludo is not driven by politics but by purpose. He is a former Central Bank Governor and a globally respected economist who has consulted for over 20 international organizations. He returned home to serve" Onuko stated.

Highlight of the facility tour was visit to the office of the Deputy Governor of Anambra State Dr. Onyeka Ibezim  by NANS executives.
