Anambra Doesn’t Need Airport –osita Chidoka by Johnnyessence(m): 7:29am On Jun 20, 2017 |
A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, on
Monday, asked the Anambra State Governor,
Willie Obiano, to jettison the idea of building an
airport in the state.
Chidoka described the project as a misplaced
priority.
Obiano had, in April this year, kicked off the
N2bn Umueri International Cargo Airport
project, saying this was in fulfillment of his
campaign promises of making Anambra State an
international economic hub.
But speaking at the golden jubilee celebration of
the Anglican Bishop on the Niger, Rt. Rev. Owen
Nwokolo, in the basilica at St Andrews Anglican
Church, Chidoka said the state did not need an
airport now.
Obiano, who was at the same gathering, had
earlier listed the airport project as one of the
numerous achievements of his three-year
administration that would qualify him for re-
election.

Johnnyessence: Notice that he didn't say WHY this project is a "misplaced priority". We need to think more long-term in this part of the world. A state as commercially viable as Anambra is LONG overdue for an airport. A cargo airport in the long run could provide greater opportunities to the immediate region. Think of the real estate investment opportunities. Think of the boost in international trade. Think of the savings to be made by manufacturers. Think of the jobs that will be created. Think of the IGR the state will generate, regardless of who will be in the government. Just THINK. 8 Likes 1 Share |

A waste of money & public resources when Anambra can not account for IGR. The International airport in enugun is still begging for viability. Stupid governor. 1 Like |

sarrki: This is not just an airport, its a cargo airport with other facilities that will attract development. If there is any state that needs a cargo airport its surely Anambra state. I don't know why people are just mischievous unnecessarily just to score a political point. Enemies of progress. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Chidoka should let Obiano be. Obiano is not a saint but Chidoka is like the pregnant tomorrow with all its uncertainty. For Anambra, my vote will be to manage the devil we know while staying wary of the angel that is still very remote. The position is very delicate and we cannot be experimenting at this stage. I advise Chidoka to go start as a LGA chairman if his ambition is to be an executive at any level and we can see his hand. Better still he can go to the legislature where his talking skills places him in good stead. Abeg. 7 Likes 1 Share |

So good to be back! Even world-renowned economist, Chukwuma Soludo has repeatedly said that Anambra urgently needs her own airport. He knows the massive economic benefits an airport will bring to the state. I don't think Chidoka is an economist to know this and being a guber hopeful, he will say just about anything to discredit the incumbent. He isn't looking at the big picture. I also think that Chidoka is unhappy that the airport project was not sited in Oba as initially planned. Oba is just 5 minutes drive to his hometown and he may have been thinking of cycling to and from the airport if it was that close to home. But when the masterpiece is completed in 2 years time, i am sure he will come around. Anambra leads, others follow. 2 Likes |
