The Governor noted that the success of the facility has strengthened investor confidence in Anambra, with growing interest in residential, commercial, and industrial developments. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to expanding similar recreational infrastructure across the state.
The Secretary to the State Government and Chairperson of the Board of Directors of Solution FunCity, Mrs. Chiamaka Nnake, commended Governor Soludo for his vision, describing the facility as a symbol of the administration’s commitment to delivering meaningful development and improving the lives of Ndi Anambra. She also appreciated the public for their continued support, which has contributed to the project’s success.
