MrStan11:
Nairaland is something else.
Mod and site owner are not doing enough.
Anambra thread has turned into a petty squabbles ( akuko mama Ngozi na ndi yard)
I am a forex trader, sites like forex factory, thread opener has the right to mute erring commentators. So if you don't respect his rules, he mutes you on that thread.
I visit nairaland mostly to check 1. Anambra thread and Forex thread and maybe AOB.
But here in Anambra thread, people who have not made any meaningful suggestion either post nonsense pictures or troll without conscience.

We have election coming up on Nov. Yet no manifesto has been posted here.
No information on Debate.etc
Obiano tenure is almost over and its time to look at those who want to take over.

I don't believe in Nigerian Political party,
I go with individuals with verifiable track record.

Shalom.

The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has dispelled rumours that one of the three flyover bridges he built and named legacy projects was collapsing.


The flyover is located along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway in Awka, Anambra State.

The state Commissioner for Works, Marcel Ifejiofor who represented the Governor during a Thursday morning inspection tour said the Aroma flyover is strong and safe, contrary to the insinuations and scaremongering on social media that the bridge was collapsing.

Ifejiofor who took journalists around the bridge stated that the alleged cracks being posted around as a sign that the bridge was collapsing had nothing to do with the integrity of the bridge, as it remains solid.


“The gap is on the side embankment on the Enugu approach which has made scaremongers to shout was added following an accident involving a big lorry on the Kwatta bridge.

“The Aroma bridge was built to global standard, and the expansion is an intrinsic part of bridge construction and does not indicate a crack.

“The three Flyover bridges at Aroma, Kwatta and Amawbia were awarded in 2014 and 2015 and remain safe not to mention the fifteen other bridges built across the state by the Obiano administration.


“Our projects are built to last. People are questioning why we put a barricade to stop heavy-duty vehicles plying it, but we know why. It’s a hilly area, and we don’t want articulated vehicles failing while plying them. We are very well aware of what we did there,” Ifejiofor said.

The Commissioner assured Anambra people of the commitment of Governor Obiano to the safety of lives at all times.

Earlier, the Construction Manager of IDC, Yousssef Zghaib, who handled the project, said that the embankment and the bridge are separate units and assured that there is no cause for alarm.

PROUDIGBO:
That fissure in the structure doesn’t look like it’s caused by the impact of a vehicle! The structural integrity of that flyover is suspect!

Henix:
When we raised alarm over unavoidable collapse of heap of sand at Kwata junction and Aroma junction constructed by Willie Obiano in the name of flyover, sycophants called us names. The picture attached is the death trap at Aroma junction.

Today, those sandfill flyovers are cracking and gradually collapsing as predicted. While Wike of Rivers state, Umaih of Ebonyi state, and Ganduje of kano are busy constructing quality flyovers for their people, Obiano constructed a death trap for his people at Awka. A flyover suppose to ease traffic, but that of Governor Obiano is obstructing free flow of vehicular movement at Aroma junction, as a result of the barricade they mounted on the substandard flyover against heavy duty vehicles. The death trap is still cracking and shaking, despite the fact that they barricaded heavy duty vehicles from using it from day one.

Is Ebonyi state richer than Anambra State? Why is the governor doing quality and gigantic projects than that of Anambra state?

Strong lobby on to get Brazil’s Embraer locate Africa service centre in Nigeria’s Anambra State

The Willie Obiano administration in Anambra State, with few months to its exit date in November this year, is pushing up a partnership deal with Air Peace, West Africa’s leading airliner, to format its incoming airport at Umuleri, by getting Embraer Corporation of Brazil, the world’s fourth largest civilian aircraft manufacturer, to locate a service centre for all of Africa in the state.

Details of the state government’s move have not yet been made public. Governor Obiano has since last year been in talks with the Air Peace founder, Allen Onyema, to lure the Brazilians into siting a service centre at the Anambra International Cargo Airport at Umuleri, which may be inaugurated later this year.

Strong lobby on to get Brazil’s Embraer locate Africa service centre in Nigeria’s Anambra StateAt the delivery last week of Air Peace E195 –E2 in Lagos, Onyema had appealed to the Brazilian Embassy in Abuja to advise the Embraer Corporation in Sao Paulo, to seriously consider building a service centre in Nigeria to cater for the African continent. The brand-new airplane, registered as 5N-BYF, is the first of 13 Embraer aircraft ordered by the airliner for its African regional routes.

According to C. Don Adinuba, the commissioner for information and public enlightenment, Governor Obiano had told a virtual discussion with some members of his administration working on the project that: “As the first carrier in Africa to purchase Embraer’s E series, which is the latest, Air Peace, with our support, is in a strong position to lobby the manufacturer to bring such a centre to our state.”

The Anambra international cargo airport, with 3.7 km runway and an 11-storey terminal building, pushing off as Nigeria’s second biggest airport, after the Lagos’ Murtala Mohammed, is designed to accommodate at least one hanger to service different kinds of aircraft, according to Ben Chiobi, a former Nigerian Air Force pilot, retired air force Air Vice Marshall and special adviser to Governor Obiano on creative security.

Chiobi, who also used to be a military attaché at the Nigerian Embassy in Paris, France, is among Obiano’s team working to realise the airport before his tenure’s expiration in November.

In August last year, when he visited the airport, an impressed Onyema said his Air Peace airline company would build a hanger there.

“If Air Peace builds a hanger here, and Embraer follows suit with an African service centre, the vision of building this modern and large airport on a very large swath of land will have been realized,” stated Governor Obiano, who described Onyema as currently the greatest promoter of private diplomacy in Nigeria.

Obiano said the Air Peace chairman, with the acquisition of the new airplane from Brazil, has shown that one needs not be in government or hold any public office to effectively promote the interests of one’s country; and has boosted Nigeria’s reputation in places like South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, where Air Peace flies into, with plans to start flying into the United States, India, Israel and the United Kingdom shortly.

He said his administration didn’t set out to build just any airport, but a strategic one that will help boost traditional commerce in the state and beyond; resulting in technology transfer and transformation of the state’s economic landscape.

Anambra, a state with bustling commerce, and travelling population, has a GDP of over N4.2 trillion.
