My govt will not relent in empowering the poor, vulnerable in Anambra ― Soludo

He said the vision was in line with his political manifesto to produce one thousand millionaires every year under his administration.

The Programme is currently being anchored and supervised by the Anambra state Community and Social Development Agency(ANCSDA) under the Anambra COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus ( AN-CARES initiative).
