Anambra Awards ₦397.7m Presidential Lodge Remodelling Contract as Flooding Persists
Anambra State awarded a ₦397.73 million contract to remodel the Presidential Lodge at Government House, Awka, according to state procurement records. The contract was awarded to O.BEN Developers Limited and is scheduled to run for 121 days, from June 27 to October 26, 2026. The procurement record does not state the specific renovation works or quantities covered by the contract. It lists the project as active and identifies the contractor as the most responsive bidder. The award has drawn attention because budget-performance records reportedly show that only ₦135 million of the ₦5 billion earmarked for erosion and flood control was spent between January and June 2026. Parts of Awka recently experienced flooding after heavy rainfall, with emergency agencies rescuing six children and continuing a search for one missing person. I believe the state government should prioritise flood control, erosion management and durable roads over costly remodelling projects while residents continue to face these challenges.
