Anambra State Government has announced plans for a grand December celebration with the theme; “Onwan Dezemba,” aimed at delivering an exciting and memorable Christmas experience for residents and visitors.
The decision was adopted at the 23rd meeting of the Anambra State Executive Council, ANSEC, held Monday, November 17, 2025, in Awka, where other issues of sustainable development were also discussed.
Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, said the festivities will take place at the newly remodeled Ekwueme Square, the Solution Fun City, and other recreational centres across the state.
He described the programme as part of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s effort to make the season “unlike any other.”
The lineup for the yuletide includes masquerade festivals, Christmas carols, cultural displays, and music performances featuring top Nigerian artistes.
Mefor noted that Solution Fun City, equipped with a cinema, waterpark with six pools, children’s play zones, arcade, and country club, represents the governor’s vision to create world-class entertainment and relaxation spaces in Anambra.
Governor Soludo, who described the facility as “a fun city like no other,” said his vision is to reposition Anambra as a destination hub rather than a departure point. He added that the current development is only the first phase of plans to build the largest fun city in the world in the state.
The government said the project is expected to stimulate the local economy and create jobs, reinforcing Soludo’s broader agenda to transform Anambra into a dynamic business and tourism centre, the “Dubai-Silicon Valley” of Nigeria.
