The National Program Coordinator of ATASP-1, Dr Ibrahim Arabi represented by the National Civil Engineer of the Program, Engineer Usman Abdullahi and the South East Zonal Program Coordinator, Mr.
Romanus Egba harped on the need for effective maintenance culture to ensure durability.



The Presidents General of Umumbo and Omor communities, Engineer Anthony Nnaamah and Chief Chukwuma Nebeife respectively assured of maximum support to ensure that the project is completed in record time.
Earlier while receiving the certificate, the representative of China Zhonghai Nig Limited, Mr. Bai, who promised to deliver the project in one year as agreed, assured to resume work on sixteenth of September 2020.

I hope the state gov’t is planning ahead and has made provisions and acquired right-of-way for a rail service that will terminate at the int’l airport? If not, it’s not too late to add it to the plan.

They could construct the train/bus terminus a little distance from the main terminal and then create a underground tunnel equipped with travelators to link it with the airport!
Very likely they have figured it out.

It is located at Umueri. The airport is located strategically between Awka and Onitsha. It is almost 50-50 between the two cities, but it may be a little closer to Onitsha like 20mins and about 25mins to Awka.

Another good thing about the airport is that the location is at the center of Anambra generally

The state with the lowest unemployment rate in Nigeria is Anambra State with 13.1% out of the total working population of 2.25 million people. The state was 37 out of 37 states in the ranking of unemployment by state.

Nigeria’s unemployment rate has now gotten to 27 per cent in the second quarter of 2020, a move from 23.1 per cent reported in the third quarter of 2018.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) disclosed this in its ‘Labor Force Statistics: Unemployment and Underemployment Report’ released on Friday.

“For the period under review, Q2 2020, the unemployment rate among young people (15-34 years) was 34.9 per cent, up from 29.7 per cent, while the rate of underemployment for the same age group rose to 28.2 per cent from 25.7 per cent in Q3 2018,” the NBS report said. “These rates were the highest when compared to other age groupings.”

According to the NBS, the number of persons in the economically active age (15 – 64 years), jumped from 115,492,969 in Q3 2018 to 116,871,186 in Q2 2020.

“The number of persons in the labour force (i.e. people within ages 15 -64, who are able and willing to work) was estimated to be 80,291,894,” it said.

This was 11.3 per cent less than the number of persons in Q3 2018.

“Of this number, those within the age bracket of 25-34 were highest, with 23,328,460 or 29.1 per cent of the labour force,” it added.

A further peep into the latest NBS unemployment data indicated that the number of employed people in Q2 2020 slumped by 15.8 per cent to 58,527,276 when placed side by side with that of Q3 2018.

“Of this number, 35,585,274 were full-time employed (i.e. worked 40+ hours per week), while 22,942,003 were underemployed (i.e. working between 20-29 hours per week),” the report revealed.

[i]At 48.7 per cent, Imo State has the highest unemployment rate in the country and is trailed by Akwa-Ibom State (45.2 per cent) and Rivers State (43.7 per cent).


Anambra State, however, has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation – 13.1 per cent.


“For underemployment, the state which recorded the highest rate was Zamfara with 43.7 per cent, while Anambra State recorded the lowest underemployment rate, with 17 per cent in Q2 2020,” the agency said.

Eziokwu you don't know what you are talking about. Your mission on this thread is to kill the spirit and make it look like you are concerned.

1.Onitsha and Aba is two of the most planned cities in the south East. How can you open your mouth and say that Onitsha is unplanned? That it is only Chinese and Indians that you will find in the south East. So Indians and Chinese no longer count as foreign? Are Lebanese not the owners of most of the industries in south West. Are they more foreign than the Indians or chinese. What is your problem Mr. Man.

The systemic developmental injustice against Igbos has left major infrastructure in choas. The people have tried to pull through against all odds and yet what they keep getting from your types is down grading of their daily hustle. No American brought money into Anambra , that means Anambra is a dead state. So the industry of the Igbo man should now be measured by the number of foreigners that took a peep and want to take advantage.

What is our business if the foreign investment is low. With all the foreign investment in Ogun state Anambra still beat them in Gross domestic product in the latest Cbn/NBS publication. What it means is that more goods and services was produced in Anambra than Ogun during the time in qunction, yet if you check Ogun have more direct investment. Enugu beat Oyo in the same chart so what are we talking. If we can do it locally , what is the craze to go foreign!


Ndigbo biko, never leave your indigenous economic model and start listening to these people who love owambe more than anything. We are not cut from the same stock abeg. Leave us with our economic model. You like the easy way out, while we like to work it out! While one enslaves you forever, the other make you eternal boss!

Few years ago ,you guys laughed at our apprentice model as if we pooed on our trousers, today it is been studied in major universities in the world. Ndiigbo and their future generations has locked down wealth through it.

Following the launch of a new bottle and the ‘Nduka’ campaign, Life Lager Beer has continued to spread its strong message of hope and resilience to consumers, this time with decorative lighting on the popular Niger Bridge.

The groundbreaking lighting project which was unveiled on August 1, 2020, is a new initiative from Life Lager Beer as a climax to the brand’s relaunch activities.

As the novel Coronavirus spread across Nigeria, Life Lager Beer launched the ‘Nduka’ campaign as a means of encouraging its consumers to keep hope alive even as they stay safe at home.

The campaign theme which translates to “Life is Greater” saw Life Lager engage in a number of communication activities to pass its message of choosing life in these uncertain times creatively.

With its new lighting initiative, Life Lager is now spreading the importance of resilience, and self-preservation as the words “Enjoy Life Responsibly” appear boldly on its new lighting construction along with other brand signages.

The unveiling of the lights display which was done at an evening event, had in attendance the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency Willie Obiano, who referred to the initiative as a progressive one and used the opportunity to encourage everyone to keep following the right precautions to stay safe.

Sales Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc., Uche Unigwe, also expressed delight at the launch of the new project stating that it is very significant work. He added that; “this project couldn’t have come at a better time and hopefully the message resonates with the brand’s consumers and inspires them to keep living right.”

The choice of the Niger Bridge for this project was once again a testament to the brand’s attachment to its southeastern roots, as it remains unapologetic about demonstrating its belief in the industrious nature of the people and their steady drive for progress.

Life Lager Beer was first produced in 1981 in Onitsha, Anambra State, as a regional Eastern beer and has since grown to become the biggest beer brand in Nigeria. Life Lager Beer is made from the choicest grains, hops and the purest waters, with the core brand belief that “Life is better when shared and when life is shared, there is progress”.
