Anambra State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has received a major digital boost following the successful installation and activation of high-speed fibre internet at the Godwin Ezeemo NUJ Secretariat, Awka.
The development, facilitated by the Anambra State ICT Agency under the leadership of its MD/CEO, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, CFA, fulfills a request made during the NUJ Congress held on October 3, 2025, and marks another milestone in the ongoing drive to deepen digital inclusion across Anambra State.
Announcing the milestone, Agbata described the project as “a testament to what can be achieved when purpose meets partnership,” noting that “anytime there is power, journalists at the NUJ Secretariat will enjoy seamless and dependable internet access.
“You journalists are the voice of the people, the guardians of truth, and the architects of an informed society. Supporting your work is not just a duty; it is an honour.”
This initiative aligns with Governor Soludo’s “Everything Technology, Technology Everywhere” mantra, a forward-looking vision to democratize internet access, bridge information divides, and foster inclusion through technology.
Agbata further commended the visionary leadership of Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR (Oluatuegwu), whose bold digital vision continues to unlock new possibilities across the state. “Thank you, Mr. Governor, for providing the enabling environment and making the bold decision to waive the Right of Way (RoW) charges, which paved the way for broadband access and digital infrastructure development across Anambra,” he added.
By empowering these critical stakeholder group in state development, this milestone not only enhances media productivity but also reinforces Anambra’s position as a leader in digital governance, driven by innovation, partnership, and purpose.
