Excellent news!



The videos below are for aviation enthusiasts who would like to learn more about approach and runway lighting. I thought they were really interesting videos.

I had been wondering what the side tower in the Anambra Airport Fire Station was for?

Then I google Category 9 Airport Fire Stations, and realized they were required to have their own Fire Commander's tower at the fire station to be compliant with the requirements!

Wow! They are truly not cutting corners. They are sticking to international regulations and best practices.

Lol...i knew the Chinese would always find a cheap way to fake everything. Instead of the universally accepted natural way. That is why nobody seriously trusts anything made by them when quality and safety of lives are involved. Due to a culture of low quality circumvention of safety. The same way no country bought their covid 19 vaccines, instead they would accept vaccines made in Russia or even India. No country has ordered Chinese commercial airplanes COMAC, instead they trust Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer more than supposedly technologically advanced Chinese.

I agree that we should plant grass and not do it like countries where quality and public safety isn't a greater priority than quick fake fixes for everything.

I don't think NCAA will allow rugs that can be blown off by jet blast to be near a runway.
Laying artificial rugs can never be allowed next to a runway in the name of making the area have a semblance of green grass near the runway. I'm sure ICAO will also not approve an airport with such dangerous rugs laid beside a runway or any debris whatsoever near a runway. Actually, the main purpose of the grass around the runway is to prevent erosion and not really for aesthetics. That is why the airports in the middle east where there is little rain don't even bother about grassing around their runway because they know erosion isn't a problem in the middle east due to poor rainfall. I think the idea of using grass seeds can work if the seeds are not washed off by heavy rainfall.

This is how powerful a jet blast is. No rug will stay on the ground for 5 minutes when subjected to this awesome blast force from jet engines. That is why it will be a safety hazard to use turfs instead of natural grass around a runway.

Ignorance is truly bliss.

If you are an aviation enthusiast and you have been following the structural designs of new airports globally, you would know that Anambra airport exactly conformed and followed that new trend globally. In fact, you will easily know that the airport was designed by foreign experts who had built modern airports recently and not Nigerian architects who are addicted to SQUARES. As if a building could not be built unless it was a square with a triangular roof.

Hopefully, they will get someone to plant grass and landscape the whole area properly. It will be a good project to offer some village farmers to uproot grass from somewhere around their farms and transplant the grass in these open spaces around the runway. The current rainy season will ensure the grasses take root and survive. Finishing is very important in projects like this to bring them to the proper international standard seen abroad.

You can only notice tire marks on the shoulder of the runway. However, it's quite gratifying that they don't drive cars on the main runway. So as not to clog it up with sand deposits from muddy car tires driving on it.

Concerning the new airport...things we’d like to see in the next couple of weeks are: the installation of the lifts and escalators in the terminal building; the installation of the lighting on the runway; landscaping of the entire premises and approach roads; the arrival of the new kickass fire-fighting trucks; wrapping up of works in the terminal building; and more!

I love the fact they decided to use tiles instead of painting the walls! Top-notch high-quality stuff as usual! I see they are also not forgetting landscaping around the building.

Igboson, I'm sure you would like that!

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".
