ANAMBRA State will not relent in keeping tab with the foundations of inclusive, participatory governance laid by Gov. Willie Obiano.

  Commissioner for Economic Planning, Budget and Development Partners, Mr. Mark Okoye, stated this during a public presentation of achievements of Anambra State Community and Social Development Agency (ASCSDA) in Awka.
