Community leaders in Ikenga, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, have commended Governor Charles Soludo for his commitment to infrastructure development, following the completion of the 10.95-kilometer road linking Igboukwu, Ikenga, Ekwulobia, and Ezinifite communities.
The new road is part of Soludo’s economic and infrastructure transformation agenda, as outlined in the 2025 state budget, and aims to improve connectivity, enhance commerce, and boost the standard of living in the region.
For the first time since its creation, the Ikenga community now has a tarred road, thanks to Governor Soludo’s commitment to grassroots development. Community leaders described the project as a game-changer, easing transportation and fostering economic growth.
According to Izuchuckwu Uzor, a community representative:
"Governor Soludo’s solution has come to our community, and this will bring huge transformation to the entire Aguata Local Government. His visionary leadership is commendable."
