ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has commended local government workers in the state for their contributions to grassroots development, promising improved welfare, training opportunities and the reconstitution of the Local Government Service Commission.
Soludo gave the assurance on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during the 2026 Local Government Service Week celebration in Anambra State, where he praised the workers for their dedication and commitment to public service.
The governor described local government employees as the engine room of grassroots development, assuring them that his administration would continue to recognise their contributions and prioritise their welfare.
He expressed particular satisfaction with the workers’ growing involvement in agriculture, noting that their commitment to the sector was creating employment, supporting families and retaining wealth within the state.
Soludo said his administration had demonstrated its commitment to workers’ welfare by clearing four years of inherited gratuity arrears, ensuring that retired public servants did not face uncertainty after years of service.
He further announced plans to reconstitute the Local Government Service Commission, increase investment in staff training and give appropriate attention to the demands and requests of local government workers.
The governor also called for strategic partnerships with the Federal Government to attract more resources and accelerate development across the state.
He urged the people of Anambra to embrace pragmatism as the next election approaches, stressing the need to make political choices that would protect the state’s long-term interests and secure its future.
However, Soludo expressed optimism about the continued progress and development of Anambra State, declaring: “May Anambra continue to win.”
