Soludo thanked stakeholders involved in the budgeting process, including members of the state executive council, civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations, and the general public for their valuable input.

He commended the Assembly for the swift and diligent work on the budget.

“This year, we set a record. A draft budget was sent to the House of Assembly early last month, and today, it’s been passed into law.

“This speed and efficiency demonstrates the commitment of both the executive and legislative arms of government to moving Anambra forward,” the governor stated.
