The Southern Governors’ Forum (SGF) has congratulated the Anambra State governor-elect, Prof Charles Soludo and said the region would benefit from his immense knowledge of the economy.
The chairman of the forum and governor of Ondo State, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, stated this in a release by the state commissioner for information and orientation, Mr. Donald Ojogo.
Akeredolu also commended the people of Anambra State for trooping out to exercise their franchise in spite of the security challenges in the state.
He charged Soludo to brace for the job ahead, noting that the security and economic challenges in the southern part of the country and Nigeria at large would require joint effort and unalloyed commitment.
“We look forward to working with Prof. Charles Soludo under the auspices of the SGF for the peace, security and development of Anambra State, southern Nigeria, and the country at large.
“No doubt, we will be happy to explore the experience of the governor-elect, as it relates to the economy and also help in our efforts to keep the people of the southern Nigeria safe.
“Prof Soludo’s experience as a consummate economist will be of great asset to the good people of Anambra State, SGF and the country in general.
“Our efforts towards economic integration and enhanced socio-economic relationship in the SGF will undoubtedly be boosted in many respects.
“On behalf of my colleagues in the forum, I congratulate Soludo and wish him the best as he prepares for the herculean task ahead,” Akeredolu said.
