In the education sector, ANSEC approved the development of 22 smart schools across the state’s 21 local government areas at a total cost of N13.5 billion. The projects, aimed at equipping secondary schools with state-of-the-art facilities, will include ICT equipment, solar power, water facilities, and modern educational tools. Contractors, including Bonitas Technologies and Marketing Ltd and Alien Core Edge Ltd, are expected to complete their respective assignments within two to four months.

Further efforts to modernize education include a contract worth N197.5 million, awarded to Harriet Estate Millennium Nig Ltd, for the supply and installation of equipment and furniture at the Anambra State College of Health Technology, Obosi.

Additionally, ANSEC has invited fresh tenders for the installation of solar-powered streetlights across Awka metropolis. Interested vendors are directed to contact the Ministry of Power and Water Resources for specifications and timelines.

These projects form part of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s ongoing efforts to transform Anambra State into a livable and prosperous mega-city. The administration remains committed to improving infrastructure and education to enhance the quality of life and economic opportunities for Ndi Anambra.
