He said, the Southeastern State has not ceased to achieve “steady progress” in areas that reflect “productivity and responsible governance”; he added, the exercise will ensure every state receives “fair and equitable consideration” when it comes to national revenue allocation.
The Governor said: Anambra State has continued to make steady progress in areas that reflect productivity, enterprise, and responsible governance.
