Just days after the gubernatorial election and the victory of Prof Chukwuma Soludo at the polls, the Anambra State Government has indicated plans to build 30 news schools to further boost the education sector.
According to the Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, the significant decisions were made at the 22nd Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) meeting, which took place on 12th November, 2025, at Light House Awka. Viz:
1. THE NOVEMBER 8 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION AS A HYPOTHESIS TEST
The Council examined the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election, in which Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was decisively re-elected by an extraordinary 73%, winning in 21 of the 21 local government areas. The council stated that this proves the hypothesis that electoral success results from providing value and development to a people.
The Council committed to rededicate themselves to duty and to finish strong, and they also expressed gratitude to Ndi Anambra for their faith in Governor Soludo and for their excellent conduct before, during, and after the governorship election.
2. MTEF(2026-2028) PASSED
The Council adopted the 2026-2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), which paved the way for the 2026 Annual Budget to be presented to the Anambra State House of Assembly to guarantee that the 2026 Appropriations Bill is assented to by December 31st, 2026, at the latest.
3. THE BUILDING OF 30 NEW SCHOOLS
The council agreed to build an additional thirty new primary schools across communities after receiving the report of communities lacking public primary and secondary schools. This will deepen the impact of the education programmes of the Solution Government and ensure that every community in the state benefits from the Soludo administration’s free education policy.
