In October 2015, the <a href="/wiki/All_Progressives_Grand_Alliance" title="All Progressives Grand Alliance">APGA</a>-led state government of <a href="/wiki/Willie_Obiano" title="Willie Obiano">Willie Obiano</a>, signed a memorandum of understanding with <a href="/wiki/Galway" title="Galway">Galway</a> modular housing company, Affordable Building Concepts International, for 10,000 housing units to be built in the state.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> Given decades of neglect of infrastructure and bad governance, the shift in human migration has posed problems for the state. Infrastructure improvements, both physical and social, have lagged behind the growth in population. There are problems in environmental sanitation, erosion control, and provision of social services. Major cities have become characterized by inadequate and deteriorated road networks and walkways, unregulated building patterns, poor sanitation, uncontrolled street trading, mountains of garbage, and chaotic transport systems, creating congestion, noise pollution, and overcrowding.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> The government of Peter Obi, with the assistance of the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Settlements_Programme" title="United Nations Human Settlements Programme">UN-HABITAT</a>, produced 20-year structural plans (2009–2028) for three major cities in the State: <a href="/wiki/Onitsha" title="Onitsha">Onitsha</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nnewi" title="Nnewi">Nnewi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Awka" title="Awka">Awka</a> – the Capital Territory, to restore urban planning and guide their growth into the future. The plans contain policies and proposals for land use, city beautification, road infrastructure, industrial development, housing, waste disposal, water supply and health and educational facilities to turn the cities into successful urban areas that can generate employment and wealth, and provide high living standards for their residents.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> Anambra became the first state in Nigeria to adopt structural plans for its cities.<a href="#cite_note-Britanica1-5">[5]</a> With effective implementation, it should systematically grow as a major economic center in Nigeria, and West Africa. The process of <a href="/wiki/Urbanization" title="Urbanization">urbanization</a> is fairly contributed by population growth, immigration, migration, and infrastructure initiatives like good road, water, power, and gardens, resulting in the growth of villages into towns, town into cities and cities into metros. To have ecologically feasible development, planning requires an understanding of the growth dynamics. There is a fear that if too many people leave the villages, only the aged men and women will be left to farm. This pattern has been seen in Amesi, Akpo, and Achina towns in Aguata local government area. They have been important in the production of yam, cocoyam, and cassava through consistent agriculture, but such activities have suffered due to the out-migration of youth to the urban centres.

The executive arm is headed by an elected governor, who is assisted by a deputy governor, commissioners and executive advisers. Anambra's political history can be described as varied. Until the early 21st century, it was marked by considerable unrest. Having a long list of "firsts" in Nigerian history, it has been known by the sobriquet as, "The Light of The Nation". On 29 May 1999, <a href="/wiki/Chinwoke_Mbadinuju" title="Chinwoke Mbadinuju">Chinwoke Mbadinuju</a> was sworn in as civilian governor of Anambra state, after many years of military rule. His administration was plagued by deep problems: the most notable was withholding of teachers' salaries in the school. The teachers finally conducted a ten-month strike in all the government secondary schools in the state.<a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a> Before Mbadinuju's rule, secondary education had been free of charge. His administration imposed a tuition fee of 3,000 <a href="/wiki/Nigerian_naira" title="Nigerian naira">Naira</a> per term, for all secondary schools, which led to an unprecedented massive demonstration by secondary school students from all over the state. Many people attribute Mbadinuju's failure to political godfathers; his successor also struggled. On 26 May 2003, <a href="/wiki/Chris_Ngige" title="Chris Ngige">Chris Ngige</a> was sworn in as the new governor of the state, but he was removed in March 2006 after Peter Obi of APGA filed charges against him of electoral malpractice. The Court of Appeal in Enugu asserted that Ngige's apparent victory in the 2003 election was fraudulent and ordered him to leave the seat.<a href="#cite_note-gua-114">[114]</a> Obi was ousted by a faction of the <a href="/wiki/Anambra_State_House_of_Assembly" title="Anambra State House of Assembly">Anambra State House of Assembly</a> on 2 November 2006 and replaced by <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Etiaba" title="Virginia Etiaba">Virginia Etiaba</a>, his deputy.<a href="#cite_note-thd-115">[115]</a> On 9 February 2007, Etiaba handed power back to Obi after the Court of Appeal had nullified Obi's removal.<a href="#cite_note-tri-116">[116]</a> On 14 April 2007, <a href="/wiki/Andy_Uba" title="Andy Uba">Andy Uba</a> of PDP was "elected" as the new governor of the state and, on 29 May, was sworn in.<a href="#cite_note-117">[117]</a> Reported to be massively rigged, the election was widely criticised. On 14 June 2007 the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Nigeria" title="Supreme Court of Nigeria">Supreme Court of Nigeria</a> ruled that Peter Obi's tenure had not ended; therefore, there was no vacancy in the governorship.
