In a significant stride toward a smarter, more connected Anambra, a custom-built Mobile Tech Hub—capable of providing free high-speed internet access to as many as 3,000 users at once, has officially hit the road.

The innovation, driven by the Geeks & Founders Alliance for Soludo (GEFAS), is set to redefine public connectivity across rallies, campaign grounds, and other communal spaces.

Fully equipped with reliable data and voice services, as well as backup power for continuous operation, the Mobile Tech Hub is an ambitious expansion of the Solution WiFi initiative, which is already active in over 26 locations statewide.

This mobile extension brings Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s smart city vision to life in even more practical, accessible ways.

MOBILE HUB 1

The Hub was formally launched on Thursday, 24th July 2025, at a brief but symbolic flag-off ceremony at the Tower of Light, Emeka Anyaoku Boulevard, Awka.

The event was presided over by the Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, who hailed the initiative as “a bold leap in digital democratization for Ndi Anambra.”

He was joined by prominent figures in the state government, including Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, Secretary to the State Government; Chief Chinedu Nwoye, Deputy Chief of Staff and Chief Protocol to the Governor; alongside media representatives and members of the GEFAS community.

The rollout of the Mobile Tech Hub not only highlights GEFAS’s unwavering support for the Soludo administration but also underscores the growing synergy between governance and grassroots tech innovation in building a future-ready Anambra.

Dr. Ibezim, visibly excited as he inspected the hub’s features, described it as an initiative perfectly aligned with what the Governor is doing in the state.

“We don’t expect anything less from Agbata, who is a guru in this field: exactly why the Governor puts square pegs in square holes,” he said, pointing to the sophistication of the project and the Governor’s deliberate choices.

“I hear wherever this vehicle parks, people can connect freely, in line with our mantra of making Anambra a place to live, invest, work, relax, and enjoy

“I thank Agbata for this great feat and assure our government’s support to make Anambra the smart mega city we all desire

He further emphasized that this will not be a one-off. “Mr. Governor is also working to make this permanent. We are not just going to leave you with one vehicle. So I encourage everyone: wherever you see this bus parked, connect to the free WiFi and get your job done.” he concluded.

Earlier in his remarks, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, CFA, GEFAS Convener and MD/CEO of the Anambra State ICT Agency, said: “We are here to celebrate innovation made possible by Mr. Governor’s forward-thinking policies, like waiving Right of Way (RoW) charges, which opened up fibre optic expansion and connectivity across Anambra.

MOBILE HUB

“Today, various public places, student lodges, and even four higher institutions in the state already enjoy free WiFi, just as Governor Soludo promised in his People’s Manifesto.

“Now, with this Mobile Tech Hub, wherever the Governor goes during the campaign period, people can enjoy free connectivity and high-speed internet. All over the world, we know that when broadband expands, the economy grows.”

He added, “Data is expensive these days, so this bus will bring relief to Ndi Anambra. Wherever you see it passing through your neighborhood, you can hop online for free- maybe download a movie, a song, or do whatever you like.

“It’s a practical solution that the Solution Government is delivering. So, vote Governor Soludo, and let the Solution continue,” Agbata concluded.

The bus is set to hit the road in the coming days, following Governor Soludo to campaign grounds and reaching far more neighborhoods in earnest.

With this milestone, GEFAS reaffirms its commitment to helping Anambra become the smart, connected, and prosperous state that every citizen can proudly call home.
