The Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA), Dr. Ossy Onuko, has commended the Anambra State Governor Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo for transforming the Children’s Day celebration experience with the establishment of Solution Fun City in Awka.
Onuko made the commendation during the 2025 Children’s Day celebration held at the Awka Fun City.
Describing the 2025 celebration as historic the ACTDA MD noted that the Governor Soludo’s intervention has filled a void as old as the state creation.
“For the past 33 years, children in this state have never experienced anything like this,” Dr. Onuko said.
“This Fun City is a proof of the Governor’s commitment to the well-being and happiness of Ndi Anambra and especially our children.”
“The Solution Fun City features an amusement park, water park, country club and a family indoor games center.
According to Onuko, the guests at the event reflect the excitement and appreciation of the people toward the government.
An impactful project
He maintained that the “Fun City is ‘among the most impactful projects the present administration has executed.
He expressed satisfaction that its significance and benefits will outlive the current government.
Addressing the theme of this year’s Children’s Day celebration, “Stand Up, Speak Up, Build a Bullying Free Generation,”
Dr. Onuko said the agency has been riding the streets of Awka of child-beggars and vulnerable children, particularly around Aroma junction in Awka.
“Many of these children are victims of child abuse and exploitation.
“Some are used as tools for begging and are forced to return the proceeds to adults who exploit them,” he said.
“We are standing up and speaking out against such nefarious activities.
“This theme is a welcome and timely message and ACTDA fully aligns with it,” Onuko said.
