Transformation Agenda
...for a clean and smart Anambra
Our year started with a whirlwind of activities. We signed framework agreements with seven (7) Real Estate development companies, we received a proposal from Folio Holdings to expand our current SPV agreement to include three new projects including the development of the Anambra Gas Processing Zone. The MD, ANSIPPA was also given the responsibility of chairing the ANSEC Committee on Waste Management.
These are a few major things the Agency worked on in January. For this month, we are already doing more.
Here are the details since you last heard from us.

ANAMBRA STATE PARTNERS WITH IHS TOWERS TO PROVIDE FIBRE DUCTS
Anambra State, through the ICT Agency and ANSIPPA, has signed an agreement with IHS Towers, the third-largest independent multinational tower company in the world to provide fibre optics cables around the State.
According to this agreement, IHS Towers will construct about 2000km of fibre ducts connecting 695 sites across unserved and underserved communities in Anambra. This is the first step in providing the necessary infrastructure that will boost the transformation of Anambra into a smart megacity as envisioned by Governor Soludo.
ANSEC COMMITTEE ON WASTE MANAGEMENT TO PRESENT FINAL REPORT ON WEDNESDAY
ANSEC Committee on Waste Management
The Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) earlier this year constituted a committee on waste management to tackle the waste problem threatening the State. In fulfillment of the given mandate, the committee will make its final presentation to the Executive Council next Wednesday, February 8, 2023.
In the past month, the committee paid a peer review visit to study the waste management model adopted by the Lagos Government, conducted an investigative tour of all dumpsites and waste flashpoints in Anambra state and reviewed proposals from potential investors interested in the waste management sector.
The final report is expected to provide a short and long-term plan that will shape the State’s intervention in the Waste Management sector. The document will assist in the implementation of policies transforming the State into a clean and livable city.
