Empowering Progress and Embracing Future Development
Extending partnerships for development
In the blink of an eye, we’re already in the 6th month of the year. If you made plans for this year, now would be a great time to reevaluate and assess your progress.
Like us, we hope you've had a great year.
Since you last heard from us, we have welcomed some potential investors, commenced public engagements for the upcoming Anambra Investment Summit, and followed up on previous projects.
Here are the details:
ANAMBRA STATE SIGNS MOU WITH THE UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
The Anambra State Government, led by Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Development Programme, a subsidiary organ of the United Nations.
The MoU aims to establish a relationship where UNDP will undertake the responsibility for a feasibility study on flood resistance and prevention efforts in the state. The 5-year agreement aims to produce a comprehensive strategy document that advises the state on the best approach towards flood prevention and management.
Speaking at a pre-signing stakeholder engagement with the ANSIPPA team, a consultant from the UNDP team, Seth Vordzorgbe, explained the necessity for an extensive master plan on flood prevention that can guide the role of the public and private sectors in combating natural disasters.
KALIFA GARDEN CITY EXPRESSES INTEREST IN ANAMBRA STATE
Recently, Anambra State, through the Ministry of Land and ANSIPPA, received a real estate development proposal from Kalifa Garden City Limited, a part of Orange Island Development Limited, in an effort to align with the Governor's plan for a new Awka City.
Kalifa Garden City is a major player in the real estate sector with notable developments such as Orange Island Lagos, Masonia Bay, the Oranges, and Kalifa Garden City, Ikorodu, Lagos.
More details will be provided in our subsequent newsletter.
