He said, “I reaffirmed our administration’s commitment to transforming Anambra into Africa’s Silicon Valley. This vision is driven not by politics, but by a clear and strategic imperative to secure the future of our state and its people. At the graduation ceremony of the Anambra Startup Investment and Technology Skills Programme in Awka, I emphasised the urgent need to integrate technology across every sector of our economy and at every level of governance. As the world evolves at an unprecedented pace, we must ensure that our young people are equipped with the skills and opportunities needed to thrive in the digital age.
“Through transformative initiatives such as the Solution Innovation District (SID) and the 1 Million Anambra Digital Tribe, we are building a strong foundation for a technology-driven and globally competitive economy.”
Soludo went on to congratulate the graduates, including participants trained in robotics and ISO network engineering, for their dedication and successful completion of the programme.
He also commended the programme’s partners and sponsors for their contributions to strengthening Anambra’s innovation ecosystem and supporting the state’s technology agenda.
The governor stated that Anambra was steadily emerging as a leading destination for technology, innovation and digital enterprise, adding that his administration remains committed to sustaining the momentum and creating opportunities for future generations.
