Radar installation on top of the ATC tower by Craneburg.
This will be a high-tech major boost to NAMA's TRACON system to accurately track and regulate air traffic in Nigeria and the Gulf of Guinea airspace.

The Gatehouse/Tollgate is almost completed.

The main access dual-carriageway has been completed and installation of street lights with landscaping ongoing.

Very impressive. They actually set out to develop a truly international airport. Once they finish the street lights installation, they should start grassing and painting/marking. This is very very commendable

Anambra Will Soon Become A Health Tourism Centre - Governor Obiano

By Blessing Uchendu (ABS Reporter)

The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has said that his administration is leaving no stone unturned in making the state a national health tourism hub.

Governor Obiano stated this at the 2021 Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, Awka Branch, held in Awka.


Declaring the event open, Governor Obiano, represented by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Vincent Okpala, said that his government has made remarkable progress towards attaining global healthcare targets, with notable policies that have helped put the state on the national radar for healthcare breakthroughs

While applauding the NMA Awka Branch for choosing an insightful theme for this year's meeting, the governor applauded the leadership of the association for the relentless service in health care delivery in Anambra State.

On his part, the National President, NMA, Professor Innocent Ujah, represented by the National Treasurer, Dr Eric Anazodo, said that NMA will continue to ensure that members live above board in their medical practice, to enhance quality healthcare services and also charged members to be professional in their practices.


In his welcome address, the Anambra State Chairman of NMA, Dr Jide Onyekwelu, said that the Annual General Meeting is an avenue for all medical practitioners to gather and rub minds with other stakeholders in the health sector, to brainstorm on new developments in health care delivery.

The keynote speaker and NMA Chairman of Abia State, Dr Chimezie Okwuonu, in his speech, said that Nigeria has recorded low results in the area of tissues and organ donation, which he described as important aspect of successful medicine for the extension of human life.

The 2021 Annual General Meeting of the NMA, Awka Branch, was attended by medical practitioners within and outside Anambra State as well as stakeholders in the health care sector.


The AGM featured a minute silence for all the medical practiorners that died in the process of saving lives of those affected by Coronavirus.

The theme of this year's meeting was: Tissues and Organ Donation; Scope, Prospects and Ethical Challenges.

The conference equally had its sub-theme as: Sustaining the Gains of COVID-19 Crises in the Health Sector, the Doctors and the Law: Navigating the Rising Cases of Litigations in Practice

What's the status of the improvement works ongoing at Onitsha general hospital? The last set of pictures I saw showed that massive work has gone into the hospital and totally turned it around for good.

The light-up Anambra campaign is just a special project that has touched me. Even the road in front of my house in my hometown now has functional street lights that come on every night at 7:00 pm!

When I grew up and until very recently, there was not a single streetlight pole with a functional bulb in the entire Anambra state. In fact, only 4 roads in the entire state had street light poles, although the lights did not work. These roads were; (1.) Zik Avenue Awka, (2.) Park road GRA Onitsha (In front of ShopRite), (3.) Awka road Onitsha and (4.) Enugu-Onitsha expressway from Inosi Onira roundabout to Premier Breweries.

I am glad that today, almost every major road in Anambra has functional street lights! This is a quantum leap from where Anambra used to be a few years ago!

How do I explain this to you? Google map gives you time based on the speed that it is receiving from your GPS. That's why you need to do the maths to get the real time. The engineers at Google are assuming that you at least know primary six arithmetic; that why they added the distance so you can do your own small calculations. That way you can use your actual speed to get the real time, instead of taking decision based only on the GPS time provided by google.


Stop embarrassing yourself this man. Have you heard of economic term called "all things being equal"?.

Google map measures distance in a standard speed. You are not even from Anambra but you are here breaking your head over what doesn't concern you.

Anambra international airport is closer to Onitsha and all parts of Anambra than Asaba airport can ever be. Again, no Anambra indigene will leave Anambra airport and go land in another state, except he couldn't get a flight on time. Get that into your head and move on.

Just do the maths and tell us what it says. The Airport is a good initiative, but travellers will still be using Asaba airport for a little longer. Not just just because of inertia, but due to proximity.

Which maths are you talking about? Google map has shown everything. Anambra international airport is closer to Onitsha residents

I think you are the one deceiving travellers. You picked the time but ignored the distance. The distance is 25 kilometres.
Simple arithmetic shows that if you are doing 100km/hour it should take you approximately (60/4) minutes = 15 minutes or less.


Stop embarrassing yourself. You said that distance from Onitsha to Asaba airport is 4mins while distance from Asaba airport to Asaba town is 5mins. Please how is that possible that Onitsha is closer to Asaba airport than Asaba itself? Stop disgracing your in this thread.

The Google map clearly shows that Onitsha is closer to Anambra international than Asaba airport.

Why you non Anambrans are more interested in Anambra is beyond my understanding.

You people should stop coming here to deceive genuine travellers. You envious people's propaganda can never fly.

This is the Google distance

1. From Anambra international airport to Onitsha

2. From Asaba airport to Onitsha

The distance from Onitsha town to to Asaba town is just 4 minutes. The distance from Asaba town to Asaba airport is about just five minutes. However, the distance from Onitsha town to the Anambra airport is close to 30 minutes.

Politics / Obiano Sacks Redundant Political Appointees by AmericanQuarter: 11:25pm On Jul 14, 2021
Obiano Sacks Redundant Political Appointees

Raymond Ozoji, Awka
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state has terminated the appointments of some of his aides said to be redundant and dormant for some years without justifications for their huge salaries.
An official letter dated 6th July, 2021 and signed by the Chief of Staff to the Anambra State Government Mr. Primus Ugochukwu Odili and addressed to the state Accountant-General noted that all salaries, incentives and benefits of those affected by the dismissal should be terminated forthwith.

Part of the letter reads, “I write to communicate the approval of His Excellency, Chief Dr. Willie Obiano, the Executive Governor of Anambra state for the termination of appointments of the underlisted appointees with immediate effect.”

Some of the affected political appointees as published by the Chief of Staff include Azubuike Okafor Senior Special Assistant on Grassroot Mobilizations, Prince Onyechi Okafor Senior Special Assistant on Lands, Barr. John C Onyeakpa, Chika Gabriel Ibeneme, Senior Special Assistant on Media, Joseph Okonkwo Senior Special Assistant on Project Management (FADAMA) Esedo Ruth Uzochukwu, Special Assistant on Environment, Chidi Adi Ekwenugo Senior Special Assistant ANSSIPA, Ezekwelu Kingsley, Senior Special Assistant on Media, to mention a few of the dismissed government appointees.

Managing Director of the Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency, Mr. Jude Emecheta, noted that it was most unfortunate that those the governor paid salaries turned around to fight against him.

Emecheta said, “It is unfortunate that a man pays your salary, you work for him and you think he wasn’t doing things right, the only option you have is to resign honourably instead of collecting his pay, use it to buy data to write against him.

“That is the most silly thing to do. If you disagree with him resign but not to openly castigate him. I think His Excelllency exercised utmost restraint, some of us don’t have this patience. They will join opposition and fight. We wish them Goodluck but I rather lose than condone indiscipline.”

How Female Barbers In Awka Are Defying Vocational Odds

By Blessing Dennis (ABS Reporter)

Female Barbers in Awka, Anambra state capital, are defying the odds to become major players in the male-dominated barbing sector.

Gender profiling in many jobs in Nigeria today is fast going away, as some women and men are making a living irrespective of the nature of the job.

However, as a woman in a male dominated field, it is not just about haircut, it is an experience that is laddened with mix feelings.

One thing that is obvious is that most times, men prefer their fellow men to cut their hair.

But female barbers are also beginning to gain ground in a trade that had been presumed to be men-only.

Speaking to the ABS, a female barber under apprenticeship in one of the barbershops in Awka, Miss Chioma Opara, who is also a graduate from Federal Polythecnic, Oko, said that she loved the profession, and that it was nice working alongside men.

She noted that some of the challenges facing female barbers are neglect, sexual harassment and rejection.

Another female barber, Chinaza Ejike said that she works hard to give customers a memorable experience each time she cuts their hair.

She advised ladies not to wait for white-collar jobs when they have the chance of maximising their talents.

Some customers, messers Arinze Samuel, Chilomma Ezukwo, Ugochukwu Eze and Lilian Agu, expressed satisfaction with female barbers and urged men to equally patronize them.

Onwa Agwu Cultural Festival Holds At Agukwu- Nrị

By Blessing Uchendu (ABS Reporter)

Life Lager Beer has been endorsed by prominent Anambra traditional rulers as the most consumed alcoholic beverage in the state and the entire south east.

The endorsement was the major highlight at the Onwa Agwu Cultural Festival; a traditional event that mirrors and celebrates the ancestry and cultural history of Nrị, the cradle of Igbo civilization.

The Nigerian Breweries Plc has stood strongly for so many years as the brewer of historic alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages of which Life Lager is an age-long name among them.

Thus at Nrị; the ancestral head of Igbo origin, people from different paths of life came together to endorse Life Lager beer as the leading alcoholic beverage in Anambra State and South East.

The endorsement of Life Lager at the event was also replicated with names such as Onyeze also known as Mmanya Oganiru.

Performing the function, the Chairman, Anaocha Traditional Rulers' Council and the Traditional Ruler of Neni, Igwe Onwuamaeze Ezeani, said that Life Beer brand is the best for Ndị Igbo and urged the manufacturers not to relent in extending in its coperate social responsibility.

In their remarks, the Regional Business Manager, East, Nigeria Breweries Plc, Mr Austin Aka and the Corporate Affairs Manager, East of the firm, Lady Joy Egolum, said that the aim of the endorsement from Nri Ancient Kingdom was to let all Igbo people know that Life Beer is the king among other beer brands and commended the Nri Ancient Kingdom for welcoming them.

Dignitaries at the event included the President General Nrị Town Union, Chief Kelvin Obiegbunam, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra Broadcasting Service, Dr Uche Nworah, Portfolio Manager, Mainstream Lager, Mrs Kehinde Kadiri, among other personalities from both the firm and host community.

Investiture on Life Beer with Aká (traditional Igbo beads) and a red cap, both singifying Igbo royalty and grandeur, and cultural displays by different dance groups in Nri Ancient Kingdom made the event worthwhile.

Gov. Obiano's Narratives of Excellence. Focus on the succession plan.

"In a sense, Obiano’s efforts to have a competent successor like Soludo is a powerful reminder of the implied wisdom in the popular proverb that “a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

"It has to be stated, that the emergence of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the candidate of the ruling party with a clear chance of victory in the coming election raises hopes of a greater Anambra State.

There is probably no better person to continue Obiano’s legacy than Soludo who is a consultant to 20 international development and financial institutions, a former Chief Economic Adviser to the President, a former Governor of CBN and a chairman or member of 25 committees. His pedigree as an achiever has been confirmed with over 200 national and international awards".
