Economic Hardship: I have not received salary as governor in two years – Charles Soludo  

The Anambra State governor, Charles Soludo, has said that he has received salary from the state coffers for the past two years as governor of the southeast State.  

Governor Soludo made this statement at the International Convention Center in Awka, the state capital, during the celebration marking the second anniversary of his administration on Sunday. 

Soludo mentioned that he has intentionally implemented the most stringent cost-cutting measures and has avoided borrowing for the past two years to create an extremely prudent government. 

The ex-CBN chief further mentioned that, as a measure to reduce governance costs, his wife does not possess an official car.  

Moreover, he mentioned that Nigeria is undergoing significant difficulties, requiring decisive leadership to oversee its limited resources. 

Nigeria is currently experiencing significant economic challenges, with inflation soaring to 31.7% following President Bola Tinubu’s decisive action to eliminate fuel subsidies.
