Our Mission
To empower Anambra’s youth with the skills, opportunities, and support they need to become self-reliant and productive citizens, while simultaneously delivering high-quality public infrastructure that drives economic growth, improves mobility, and enhances the quality of life for all residents.
Our Vision
A prosperous Anambra State where every young person has a pathway to success, and where our roads, bridges, and public buildings are models of durability, safety, and modern design — creating a state that works for everyone.
Our History
The Ministry of Youths and Works was established in 2022 by Governor Chukwuma Soludo as part of a bold restructuring of government to better align human capital development with infrastructure delivery. Recognizing that youth empowerment and public works are deeply interconnected, the Ministry was created to break down silos and ensure that infrastructure projects also serve as platforms for youth training, employment, and entrepreneurship. Since inception, the Ministry has overseen the construction of over 200 kilometers of roads, trained more than 5,000 young people in vocational skills, and facilitated the creation of hundreds of youth-led enterprises.
