Okpoko, a densely populated and once-notorious slum in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, has undergone a remarkable transformation under Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.

The governor’s efforts to revamp the community have earned praise from unexpected quarters, including supporters of the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

On Saturday, Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, leader of Ifeanyi Ubah’s political and media family, toured the revamped Okpoko community and commended Governor Soludo for fulfilling his promise to transform Okpoko into a livable community.

The transformation of Okpoko is a significant milestone in Governor Soludo’s efforts to develop Anambra State.

Once plagued by poverty, neglect, and infrastructure decay, the community has been revitalized with modern amenities, including improved roads, a general hospital, and enhanced security.

During the tour, residents, especially children, gathered en masse to express their gratitude to Governor Soludo, singing “Solution is here.”

Sylverleen Uche, a 21-year-old resident, praised Soludo for providing a general hospital, electricity, and a network of roads.

Dr. Chukwuma Ogbodike, Medical Director of the hospital, noted that the hospital site was once a refuse dump and swamp.

The hospital offers free antenatal and children’s treatment services and operates 24/7, thanks to a combination of electricity and solar power,Agbodike said.

Governor Soludo’s achievements in Okpoko and other areas of Anambra State have earned widespread recognition, demonstrating his administration’s commitment to transforming the state.

The Kamen-led team wrapped up their five-day tour of Soludo’s projects with a visit to the under-construction Drug Market at Oba in Idemili South Local Government Area.

This market is part of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s efforts to relocate the renowned Onitsha Head Bridge Drug Market to Oba, a project aimed at creating a modern international drug market .
