Hon. Pastor Jude Chukwunwike has marked two years of his second term as Executive Chairman of Aniocha South Local Government Council with a record of 38 major projects and interventions across security, infrastructure, health, education, agriculture and market development.
Chukwunwike, who assumed office for a second term on July 15, 2024, said his administration is anchored on accountability, service delivery and people-centred governance under his Consolidatory Agenda.
In a scorecard released on Tuesday, the Council said all projects were based on needs assessment reports collated from the 11 wards, in line with its bottom-up approach to development.
“From inception, the Chukwunwike administration has consistently rejected the culture of imposing projects on communities, choosing instead to allow the people determine their development priorities,” the statement noted.

On agriculture, 100 verified farmers received farm implements and ₦100,000 grants each to boost productivity.
On security, the administration said it strengthened collaboration with police, DSS and vigilantes, while advocating for the revitalisation of the Forest Guard system for long-term community safety.
Hon. Chukwunwike urged traditional rulers, youth groups, women and religious bodies to embrace collective responsibility in protecting public infrastructure and sustaining peace.
He assured communities yet to benefit that their requests, captured in the needs assessment, remain on the council’s roadmap and “no community will be abandoned or left behind.”
“As we implement the 2026 Budget of Renewed Hope and Consolidation, our commitment to equitable development remains unwavering. The journey continues, and for the people of Aniocha South, the best is yet to come,” he said.
