Chukwuma Charles Soludo has been sworn in as the fifth governor of Anambra State in a modest event that took place at the Government House on Thursday, March 17, 2022.
Soludo took over from Willie Obiano who served for two terms.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria took the oath of office alongside his deputy, Onyeka Ibezim.

In his inaugural speech, Soludo promised to hit the ground running, saying some key members of his government will be announced in a few hours.
“Today is my first day at work. I just reported for duty at 8:55 am to be precise and will work for at least eight hours today,” the newly-sworn in governor said.
“We had more than a month since the election to celebrate our historic victory. Now is the time to work and there is no minute or kobo to waste in funfair. In a few minutes, I will announce some of the principal officers of my administration and commence with serious meetings of the Anambra Security Council followed by a meeting with the permanent secretaries and with my strategy, execution, and evaluation team.”
“Within the next few weeks, the list of commissioners will be laid before the House of Assembly,” the Aguata-born economist, added.
