Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state has reiterated the high premium his administration places on providing affordable housing for the citizenry.

He said over $1billion worth of investments have been attracted in the state housing sector in less than three and half years of his tenure.

Speaking during the 17th conference and Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Society of Engineers in Awka, Obiano lauded the engineers for their contributions to nation building, urging them to use the opportunity of their stay in the state to appreciate the good work of his administration.

Represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Project Supervision and Managing Director of Anambra Roadu Maintenance Agency, Emeka Okoye, the governor said the establishment of the Anambra State Investment Promotion and Protection Agency, (ANSIPPA) by his government was part of measures to fast-track the development of the state.

"This is to enable investors get approval for their various projects within two weeks, in addition to making the processes of obtaining the certificate of occupancy less cumbersome," he said.
