Charles Chukwuma Soludo will be sworn in as the sixth democratically elected Governor of Anambra State on Thursday, March 17, 2022.
Mr Soludo, the former governor and chairman of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s board of directors, has altered many aspects of the inauguration.
Here are the most recent updates on the swearing-in ceremony:
What will happen?
As the state’s sixth democratically elected governor, Soludo was supposed to arrive in Anambra State’s capital in the same manner as Willie Obiano. He has, however, decided to abandon those plans due to security concerns.
When will the inauguration begin?
While opening remarks usually begin around 09:00 a.m. Western Africa time, Chukwuma Soludo and Onyeka Ibezim will take their oaths of office at noon in Awka, followed by Solido’s inaugural address.
Where can you watch the inauguration?
This year’s ceremony will be limited to government officials.
Those who want to watch from home can do so on networks such as NTA, Channels TV, ARISE TV, AIT, and TVC. Viewers can also watch a livestream of the inauguration on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Who will attend?
Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, said the inauguration would have fewer than 50 guesses as invites.
