The Government of Anambra State has commenced plans to establish a Silicon Valley–style technology hub following the transformation of the old Government House into the permanent site for the Solution Innovation District.

The governor explained that his visit was driven by the project’s alignment with the administration’s guiding philosophy of “Everything Technology, Technology Everywhere.”

He said, “I embarked on this on-the-spot inspection because the ambitious project aligns with the administration’s core philosophy of ‘Everything Technology, Technology Everywhere.’
“By centralising innovation within a dedicated physical space, the government aims to integrate digital solutions into every facet of the local economy and governance.
“The construction is currently in its first phase, with a work schedule aimed at completing the initial structures within the next few weeks.
“A follow-up visit has also been scheduled for the end of the month to monitor milestones. This approach ensures that the project remains on track to meet its goal of providing a permanent home for developers, engineers and entrepreneurs.”
Soludo added that the pace of work reflects the urgency of transitioning the state’s digital ecosystem from temporary facilities to a permanent headquarters.
