Anambra converts old govt house to innovation centre

The Anambra State Government is transforming the old Government House into the Solution Innovation District, aimed at fostering innovation and technology in the region.

The Anambra State Government is repurposing the old Government House into a permanent site for the Solution Innovation District, which is set to become a hub for innovators, technologists, and entrepreneurs. This initiative follows the relocation of state activities to a new Government House named the "Light House," which was inaugurated in June 2025. The old site will now serve as a collaborative space facilitating the exchange of ideas and resources among various stakeholders, including tech companies and investors.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo emphasized the district's ambition to match the infrastructure and innovative output of globally recognized technology hubs, like Silicon Valley. Spanning approximately 12 to 13 hectares, the Solution Innovation District reflects a shift in Anambra's urban development, showcasing the state's commitment to technology and entrepreneurship as cornerstones of economic growth.

This transformation indicates a strategic move by the state government to position Anambra as a leading player in technology and innovation. Such initiatives are poised to attract talent, investment, and opportunities, not only benefiting the local economy but also providing solutions to both local and global challenges. The governor's inspection of the ongoing development further highlights the project's importance and the government's dedication to realizing its goals for Anambra's future.
