Anambra is set to become the cleanest state in Nigeria. This was disclosed by Governor Peter Obi yesterday during the commissioning of refuse disposal vehicles, compactors receptacles, ANIDS school buses, totaling over 500 million naira at the premises of Innoson Motor Manufacturing Company, Nnewi.

Obi commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his interest in private enterprises as shown by his accepting to commission the motor plant, when he paid a state visit to Anambra state in 2010. He called other Nigerian investors to emulate Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, who is behind the plant.

He appealed to wealthy Anambra citizens to invest their money in such project rather than use it to cause confusion in the state. Obi said that he decided to perform the commissioning at the premises of Innoson to showcase to the nation and other countries of the world that such things were now manufactured in Anambra State. “Come and buy your wide range of needs at Innoson, rather than travel abroad for the same purpose”, the governor said.
