eaglechild:
This makes me really question why it is taking forever for the FG to complete the Enugu airport and why the international wing has been practically abandoned.

Na so

heendrix:
Waste of money instead of building this why not use the money to give Ipobs good roads in the East.

The award of the most useless governors in the federation goes to the SE governors, all of them be one family

It seems u think with your ass. This airport will help boost the economy of the state and the country at large...it will also generate income oga...na wa for u o. It's part of development na.

Get that into your skull, Anambra State has best road network in Nigeria

Test Flight To Land At Anambra International enger And Cargo Airport April 30, 2021

A fascinating development that restores hope in political leadership in Anambra, the state that prides itself as "Light of the Nation."

This is a truly international airport with 3.7km runway and tallest control tower that will serve the international and local air travel needs of Anambra and indeed the entire southeast region and beyond.

The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano and his wife, Chief Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano were at the airport on Saturday, April 17, 2021 on inspection.
They were accompanied by of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council who wanted to confirm what they had been hearing in the media.

Okija, Anambra-born businessman Dr. Ernest Obiejesi (Obijackson) was also at the airport and landed in the brand new airport tarmac in his helicopter.

Ndi Anambra, the airport project is real!

Not a bad terminal building. Relatively simple and should get the job done.

Still not fully convinced Anambra needs an airport. South East is relatively small and distances between other places that have airports (Owerri, Enugu, Asaba) and Anambra is relatively short.

Anyway, I hope it functions properly without further government once operational. What will be disappointing is that when it starts, Amambra state government has to now pay 80% of the salaries and other maintenance costs monthly, further reducing available funds for development in other areas. As a state government, if a project cannot generate positive operational cash flows on its own, it should not be executed.

I know you too well, you are from a brown roof mud village called Abeokuta. Stop deceiving yourself

Dpharisee:

Anambra state has the best network of roads in Nigeria including the North which depends on FG to build roads for them.
Meanwhile, I am not from Anambra state, you need to travel around the country

I don't blame you, cry more, Your Lagos is soon about to collapse economically. The next is Onitsha Seaport and your two major source revenues crush completely

COMPAQ:

.

You don't need to be fully convinced. Since southeast is relatively small, it makes sense that all the southeast states key into the standard Anambra international airport that equally has very long runway for big international flight to land, then convert the local airports in Owerri and Enugu to warehouses.

Actually Isn't a bad thing to be from abeokuta

Don't worry about the cash flows, Lagos Airport and Seaport thrives today because Anambra business man. The governor knows the potential it has to generate revenues before embarking on the project

Those comparing the performance of Obiano the media propagandist Umahi should tell us the criteria use to rate umahi above Obiano.

Education

Industry

Economy

Infrastructure

Human capacity development

Security

Healthcare

Are but a few criteria Obiano as beaten Umahi blue black. I await any challenger.

Pls anyone challenging me should not come here to wail that Anambra generate or receive more income. Ebonyi should go n learn what it mate are doing to generate revenue b4 challenging.

Why bringing this shitty comment here to derail this beautiful thread.

Anambra State is not your business slowpoke. We don't need your advice

ProWalker:
With recent revelations about drug trafficking, I don’t thing the FG should ever approve this airport for international operations or else the shame will be too much for Nigeria

Fool how could it be not approved before building? You know the government can't be able to do that. The land of the rising sun fights in two fronts,

tribalmall:
But can be doing well but one is clearly doing triple times beta. In of the human capacity you mentioned programme you Obiano have in place confirmed he is doing 100 times beta than Umahi.

Human capacity development is a sector Umahi completely ignored in Ebonyi state yet you prefer to choose even when the singular criteria you judged with Obiano took him to the cleaner. This simply confirms you are not reasoning like a rationale being n your jusgement is based of sentiment basically a political sentiment because your reasoning can not be performance based.

In life when God give you a beta grace to embark on journey you can pray for a terrible beginning. Enugu was doing a lot beta with Chime but what as Ugwuayi achieved in 8 years compared to what Obiano accomplished ?

This debate should be strictly performance driven and Obiano outclassed every governor in the East today so shut up.

You need to shut up with all this unwarranted toxic comparisons between Igbo state governors!

He's up to no good!

I don't really think building an Airport is a big deal. It should'nt cost much, if not for corruption. It's relatively cheap to put down the structures.

Clear the bush, tar the runway and build a terminal. That's all. That is why it has become the favorite project for all state government. Every damn state in Nigeria has an Airport. Most will eventually be covered with bush from lack of use.


As for Anambra, a railway line frim Awka to Enugu or Asaba would have been ideal. But that will cost a huge amount and the FG has to give approval.

I do not see the point of all 5 states in the SE having an airport plus the ones at Asaba and PH.

We should be honest to ourselves.

AsomughaChuks05:
The Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri is by far the biggest legacy ever left behind by any governor since the creation of Anambra state! This is amazing. The quality and finishing are top notch. Akpokuedike Aguleri is repaying ndi Anambra for the 21/21 total endorsement the state gave him in 2017, the first time ever that any governor had an absolute mandate to govern the good people of Anambra state.

Thunder fire you,is Obiano using is personal money to build the airpot,why name it after him IDIOT.

So you knew the rail track would be more expensive, so what's your point?

this is an international airport. Asaba isn't.

neduogu:

Doesn't matter, they should upgrade Asaba than build this one. Besides this is a wasteful state government project

if only the people who liked this your post know how much you hate Igbo.

The fact that you hate Umahi is the reason every smart igboman should him 120%
