Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has emphasized the importance of hard work, resourcefulness, and transparency in wealth creation. He stressed that it is crucial to verify the source of an individual’s wealth before celebrating or conferring chieftaincy titles on them.
According to Governor Soludo, the failure to scrutinize the source of wealth has contributed to the proliferation of criminal activities, particularly among young people. He noted that many youths have taken to kidnapping as a means of accumulating wealth, largely because their ill-gotten gains are often celebrated without question.
The governor’s comments were made in a bid to promote a culture of transparency and accountability in wealth creation. He urged parents, relatives, clergies, and community leaders to be more discerning when celebrating individuals who have acquired wealth.
Governor Soludo’s stance is part of his administration’s efforts to tackle the root causes of crime and promote a more sustainable and equitable economy. By emphasizing the importance of hard work and transparency, he hopes to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs and leaders who will drive growth and development in Anambra State.
The governor’s message is clear: wealth creation must be based on hard work, innovation, and integrity. By promoting these values, Anambra State can build a more prosperous and just society for all.
