Soludo orders demolition

Soludo instructed the local government chairman to demolish the structure, warning of potential dismissal if the task was not completed.

He said:

“Which building is being built here? You need to bulldoze it. If I come here again and I see any of this rubbish, I will sack you publicly. You are incompetent.”
“They began it, and you were watching it go on without bringing it down. Where is the walkway? Come and show me the walkway. Look at the building, coming out on the road.
“Get me the person who approved this, and I will sack that person.”

The governor ordered the removal of all makeshift shelters and stores lining the street to clear space for building a footpath for pedestrians.

Governor Soludo has appointed Bayo Ojeyinka, originally from Osun state, as a permanent secretary in the state civil service.

The selection was made purely on merit, recognising Ojeyinka's outstanding qualifications and performance, making him one of the most deserving candidates for promotion.

Ojeyinka's journey in the civil service began 29 years ago when he joined the Anambra State Civil Service during his NYSC program.

His dedication and exemplary service were evident even then, as he was recognised as the best-serving corps member in the state in 1995.
