Anambra Country Club Awka Opens For Leisure, Entertainment
Elites, captains of industry, business moguls, traditional institutions, and other affluent personalities yesterday joined Governor Chukwuma Soludo at the official opening of the Anambra Country Club, Awka.
The club, which is a component of Awka Fun City, was conceived and birthed by Governor Chukwuma Soludo as part of his determination to make Anambra a livable and prosperous homeland for businesses and other investors to thrive, while also providing the Anambra elite with a refined space for recreation, networking, and wellness.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Soludo, who was accompanied by his wife, Dr. Nonye Soludo, said that Anambra, as the Light of the Nation, deserves such an edifice for relaxation, leisure, entertainment, and connections, lamented that some people occupy spaces only for building without creating places to rest, and announced plans to erect a similar facility in Onitsha by January so that the state will no longer be a departure lounge but a destination.
The Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, expressed happiness over the actualization of the country club, which he said is a component of Solution Fun City, noting that it goes beyond leisure by providing a space for the business class, elites, political class, and others to enjoy a measure of ambience where businesses can be discussed, people can unwind, and indoor activities can be enjoyed, while commending Governor Soludo for such an investment and adding that people will now return to Anambra to enjoy themselves.
A stakeholder in the Awka community, Senator Dr. Ndi Obi, said that since the creation of the state no governor has positioned Awka as a true capital city except Governor Chukwuma Soludo, who has laid down infrastructural development to give Awka high standards befitting a capital city, commended him for his efforts, and prayed for a better second term in office.
Earlier in a welcome address, the Interim Chairman of Anambra Country Club, Chief Emmanuel Onyiliofor, said that the mission of the club is to provide an exclusive, well-governed, and sustainable environment where members can engage in high-quality social, recreational, and sporting activities while upholding the highest standards of discipline, ethics, and professionalism.
