Soludo Named Sun Man of The Year

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has emerged as The Sun Newspaper “Man of the Year 2024” in recognition of his performance in governance with laudable achievements in infrastructure and transformation of the state within a short period.

In a statement by the governor’s chief press secretary, Christian Aburime, the Editor-in-Chief of Daily Sun Newspapers, Mr Onuoha Ukeh, in company of other editors of the Sun, visited the governor in Awka on Friday, to present the award letter, after weeks of a painstaking selection process by the management of the organisation.

In his remark, Governor Soludo, who was applauded for his infrastructure projects in the 21 local government areas of the state, investments in human capital development, healthcare, education, youth empowerment, skills acquisition and seed capital programmes, among others, thanked The Sun Newspaper team for the unsolicited but purely a merit-based conclusion of the team.

The statement said Soludo will receive the prestigious award on March 1, 2025, at the award ceremony in Lagos.

“The award underscores Governor Soludo’s numerous achievements and his progressive leadership in steering the affairs of the state to enviable heights.

“Popularly called Mr Fixer, Mr Reformer and Mr Jinx Breaker, Governor Soludo’s solution-driven governance has wowed critics, with developmental projects that signpost his sincere commitment to making Anambra a destination, a livable and prosperous state,” the statement read.
