Tackle Insecurity To Allow Businesses Thrive In Anambra

The candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the upcoming November 8, 2025, Anambra state governorship election, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has promised to prioritise the restoration of law and order across all parts of the state when elected governor.

He lamented that the seemingly intractable insecurity challenges bedevilled the state, drawing back on efforts to boost business activities, especially Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which ought to drive the growth of the state’s economy.

Sir Chukwuma stated this on Sunday when he was hosted by the founder of Mega Abattoir and Suya Spot located at the heart of Enugwu-Ukwu town in Njikoka local government area of the state, Chief Michael Onyeka Obidi.

The YPP governorship flag-bearer extolled Chief Obidi’s entrepreneurial, resilient spirit, adding that Mega Abattoir was thriving despite the harsh business environment in the state.

Sir Chukwuma promised that when elected governor of Anambra State, his administration would create the security atmosphere necessary to restore the city’s lost nightlife.

He also envisioned that ventures like Mega Abattoir would be replicated across many towns and suburbs in Anambra, which, according to him, would not only expand the state’s productivity but also create more jobs for Ndi Anambra.

Sir Chukwuma also promised to relieve the “excessive tax burden currently placed on the neck of many MSMEs by the Soludo administration”.

Sir Paul Chukwuma said, “In Anambra today, it is sad that businesses, especially MSMEs, are being harassed by multiple government agencies to pay all manner of taxes and levies that eventually find their way into the private pockets of the many revenue contractors being used by the Soludo administration to complicate tax collection. This makes running a business in Anambra draining.”

“When you factor in the insecurity angle that makes businesses to close on time, you begin to wonder how Anambra intends to become a serious economic giant. It is disheartening that today in Anambra, by 7 pm, almost every city or town in Anambra is deserted, as people rush to get home. Movements between communities become risky. How do economic activities thrive in such an environment?

“Instead of focusing on the things that matter to the majority of Ndi Anambra, the present state government decided to spend an unnamed billion to build swimming pools and ‘hangovers’ in Awka. Is it not someone who has fed his family that will have time and money to go and swim in Soludo’s pools or swing in his hangovers?” Paul Chukwuma queried.

Earlier in his speech, the mega abattoir and suya spot proprietor, who also owns Choice Kitchens, eulogised the YPP governorship candidate, Sir Paul Chukwuma, describing him as one of his greatest business pillars.

Chief Obidi said Sir Paul Chukwuma understood what it means to run a business and the challenges entrepreneurs in Anambra face, lamenting the “failure of the state government to create a breathing space for businesses.”

The YPP governorship candidate, Chief Uzu Okagbue, decried what he described as “growing hardship in Anambra with the disposable income in the pockets of households shrinking by the day due to declining productivity”.

He promised Ndi Anambra that Anambra State would rise again under a YPP government led by Sir Paul Chukwuma as Governor and himself as Deputy Governor.
