This is a bad deal for my people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, one could say, \u2018Let me collect the loans; after all, it is the next generation that will pay.\u2019 I don\u2019t have that kind of conscience. I felt the terms were a bad deal for Ndi Anambra, and I told them we didn\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLate last year, they shared 438 million dollars among 35 states in Nigeria, but Anambra was the only state that did not collect. We don\u2019t need to continue mortgaging the state with such loans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soludo stressed that while he requires funds to execute government projects, he refuses to take loans that would burden the state\u2019s future generations.<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed out that Anambra is the only state in Nigeria where the governor\u2019s lodge is located outside the capital, and the Government House has been housed in a makeshift building provided by a construction company for 34 years.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the current Government House is owned by the company that constructed the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.<\/p>\n<p>Soludo further stated that for 34 years, Anambra had no Government House or governor\u2019s lodge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, today, the state is building one of the best Government Houses, with 34 buildings sitting on 23 hectares of land, designed to last 250 years without requiring major renovations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state has not borrowed any money to fund the construction of the ongoing Government House and other projects. I vowed that every naira entrusted to me on behalf of the state must be judiciously utilised for the benefit of the people of Anambra,\u201d he added<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soludo noted that Anambra is the only state in Nigeria to have withdrawn from the World Bank loan arrangement, adding that the decision was taken to avoid plunging the State into massive debt.
