By Chinwe Onuigbo, Awka
The Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Mr. Somtochukwu Udeze, has commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s recent broadcast addressing Local Government autonomy and related matters.
He said that the explanations provided were in full conformity with constitutional provisions and legislative procedures, aligning well with the shared responsibilities of the Judiciary, Legislature, and the State and Local Government entities.
In a statement released through Emma Madu, the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Udeze praised Governor Soludo for demonstrating a keen awareness of constitutional principles across all spheres of governance.
Significant step
The recent approval of the Anambra State Economic Planning and Development Bill, 2024, along with the Anambra State Local Government Administration Bill, 2024, into law was highlighted as a significant step towards benefiting the people of Anambra State.
The Speaker further commended the diligent efforts of the State Lawmakers for their meticulous approach to legislative duties, specifically citing the recent enactment of the Local Government Administration and State Economic Planning and Development Laws.
Udeze expressed optimism that these legislative measures will not only foster development within council areas but also uplift the living standards of rural communities in Anambra State.
Udeze also urged the citizens of Anambra to remain vigilant against misinformation propagated by a minority of ill-informed individuals regarding the State Local Government Administration law.
Assuring the public that the State Legislature is dedicated to ensuring the populace reaps the benefits of these progressive laws, the collaborative efforts between the Executive and Legislative branches under Governor Soludo’s leadership signal a positive trajectory towards good governance and sustainable development in Anambra State.
