In a visionary commitment, Governor Charles Soludo vowed to collaborate with telecom companies to deliver affordable and eventually free Wi-Fi hotspots in public spaces, catapulting Anambra State into the digital era. This promise holds the potential to empower citizens with connectivity, boost digital literacy, and stimulate economic growth.

Promise: “We Will Work with Telecoms to Provide Cheap (And Ultimately Free) Wi-Fi Hotspot in Public Places for The Take-Off of The State Immersion into The Digital Age.”

Recently, the Governor took a notable step by signing contracts with two firms to deploy fiber optic infrastructure for fast internet access. While this marks progress, the broader promise of affordable or free Wi-Fi to bridge the digital divide remains unfulfilled. The accessibility of the internet, especially for marginalized communities, is key to realizing the full potential of this digital revolution.

It is crucial for the government to move beyond initial infrastructure investments and prioritize delivering affordable and accessible internet for all. By doing so, Anambra State can harness the transformative power of technology to propel itself into a more connected and prosperous future. We rate this promise In The Works.
