Anambra State ANSEC Congratulates UniZik’s New VC, Urges University Autonomy

Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) under Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has called for university autonomy in choosing vice chancellors.

The Council also welcomed the recently appointed Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Professor Ugochukwu Anyaehie, wishing him an eventful term.

The Council decided at the 23rd ANSEC meeting held at the new government house named the Light House, Awka, on Monday, 17th November 2025.

According to the State’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, the Council also deliberated on other state issues of significant importance, such as an agreement to make the Christmas season exciting and memorable for the people of the state, with a fiesta themed “Onwa Dezemba.”

Mefor stated that the Council affirmed that the magnificent festivities would be held at the Solution Fun City, Awka, the reconstructed and remodeled Ekwueme Square, among other recreational facilities in the state.

“This is to make the Christmas celebration unlike any other,” Mefor said.

According to the Commissioner, plans to make the yuletide period electrifying will include masquerade festivals, Christmas Carols, masquerade festival, and musical fiestas, with well-known Nigerian musicians, among others.

As a world-class entertainment and relaxation centre, the Solution Fun City boasts a cinema, a waterpark with six different swimming pools, family and children’s play zones, and an arcade and country club, offering a diverse range of activities for all ages.

Mefor asserted that the facility is part of Governor Soludo’s transformation drive in making Anambra a place where people can play, enjoy, and relax.

Described as unparalleled, Governor Soludo said, “This is a fun city like no other; there are no comparable facilities in the world,” adding that Anambra would now be seen as a destination hub rather than merely a departure lounge.

The governor stated that the current complex is only the beginning of a larger vision to build the largest fun city in the world in Anambra State.

It is a project poised to inject new life into Anambra’s economy, for job creation, with many members already recruited and trained, another proof of the governor’s commitment to transforming Anambra from a departure lounge to a destination, the Dubai-Silicon Valley of the country, where economic and business activities thrive.
