1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, @PeterObi left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local & foreign currency,

including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.
2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors & High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, Belgium, Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State.

Before @PeterObi tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.
Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., started working in Anambra State under OBI

Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance under @PeterObi .. pls make sure u verify. I did. ☝🏿

@PeterObi, was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under @PeterObi, did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country under @PeterObi’s watch

The State’s ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners – (Churches) on 1st January 2009, & subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number 1 in National Examination, under @PeterObi

Under @PeterObi for 3 consecutive years, Anambra was number One in both NECO and WAEC. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector under @PeterObi . This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies,

while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, @PeterObi Government funded the transformation of :
a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;

b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and

@PeterObi, was the first to procure & distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The MD for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. Fabrice Campoy, described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East & Africa.

Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State under @PeterObi watch. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world.

SABMILLER, built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.
A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under @PeterObi Government;

a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.
Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security,

Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery

To further enhance security, Anambra State under @PeterObi, provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.
