Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has reiterated his resolve to provide free high-speed internet to indigenes of the state.

The public relations officer of Anambra State ICT Agency, Nwanodu Angela in a press release made available to journalists in Awka on Wednesday said the project has begun, with free internet provided in certain parts of the state as a test-run of the project.

Nwanodu said: “The Solution Wi-Fi Initiative is driven by the Anambra State ICT Agency in collaboration with Pine Heights Systems Limited (PHSWEB).

“Launched as a pilot with three strategic locations—Aroma Junction, Book Foundation, and School Gate Ifite.

“The Solution Wi-Fi Initiative has rapidly expanded, now connecting 14 additional locations across Anambra. This growth reflects the administration’s commitment to bridging the digital divide, giving students, businesses, and residents greater access to the online resources essential for learning, development, and economic empowerment.”

She said the project is in alignment with Governor Soludo’s vision of “Everything Technology and Technology Everywhere”.

She added that the project is part of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model that the Soludo administration adopted to drive Anambra’s digital revolution, ensuring that technological advancement benefits every resident.

“As Solution Wi-Fi reaches more locations, connectivity is now available to a broader population.

“Governor Soludo’s administration envisions a state where internet access supports innovation, education, and economic growth, reinforcing the belief that digital inclusion is fundamental for social progress.

“With each new location connected, the Solution Wi-Fi Initiative brings Anambra closer to a fully connected digital ecosystem.

“The state government remains committed to extending this network to even more areas, underscoring Governor Soludo’s vision for a tech-savvy state, that provides equitable access to technology and positions its citizens for success in the digital economy.”
