The Anambra State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has received a major digital boost following the successful installation and activation of high-speed fibre internet at the Godwin Ezeemo NUJ Secretariat in Awka.
The project was facilitated by the Anambra State ICT Agency under the leadership of its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, CFA. The development fulfills a request made during the NUJ Congress held on October 3, 2025, and represents another milestone in the ongoing effort to deepen digital inclusion across Anambra State.
Announcing the achievement, Agbata described the project as “a testament to what can be achieved when purpose meets partnership,” emphasizing that “anytime there is power, journalists at the NUJ Secretariat will enjoy seamless and dependable internet access.” He further stated, “You journalists are the voice of the people, the guardians of truth, and the architects of an informed society. Supporting your work is not just a duty; it is an honour.”
The initiative supports Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s “Everything Technology, Technology Everywhere” vision, aimed at promoting digital access, bridging information gaps, and encouraging inclusion through technology.
Agbata also praised the leadership of Governor Soludo, describing him as a visionary leader whose commitment to digital transformation continues to open new opportunities for development across the state. “Thank you, Mr. Governor, for providing the enabling environment and making the bold decision to waive the Right of Way (RoW) charges, which paved the way for broadband access and digital infrastructure development across Anambra,” he said.
