Anambra became the 1st state in 🇳🇬 Nigeria to adopt development plans for its major cities.
In 2009, Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, designed a 20-year plan of restoring urban planning for 3 major cities in the state (Onitsha, Nnewi, & Awka). The plan contained ideas on the beautification of the cities, land use, industrial development, waste disposal, road infrastructure, water supply, housing and health, and educational facilities.
A huge chunk of that plan was done within his administration. Obi built over 800km of roads connecting every single LGA and Rural Areas to Urban Cities and making Anambra State the state with the most intra-state road network in Nigeria.
