MaximusDMeridux: Ibos are just a little more than the Ijaws or Efiks and ibibios in percentage of population so what is this imaginary huge % in a land where you are aliens (visitors)?? Keep deceiving yourselves. Abeg talk another story what does it matter this is the GC, almost everyone will be ibo there and that is good, just leave our own schools in the SW and go to your land. Most Nigerians would rather school anywhere else anyway! UNN is not even on the Nigerian educational map, neither are all the other SE universities so what does a school only in it for profit matter? Just leave, and go to your land, I don't give a damn!!

Ikengawo: Because the man in the picture is just producing kids like a reptile.
All of them will be poor, and all of them will produce kids at the same rate as their father. That's why

MaximusDMeridux: LOL...see all of them are ibos! This is how ibos want to have their own things to themselves ALONE but share in the thing of others! We will get rid of you anyway, out of all our universities and public service!

Rhino.5dm:

Very good news.

Let our people make use of this facility and reduce travels to Lagos to board flights.

The named airlines can connect you to UK, US and other European countries.

I stopped going to Lagos to board flights a long time ago because I realized that even if I pay a little premium for Air France or Lufthansa the convinience of being dropped in PH where I don't have to take airport taxi to a hotel, and later board a local flight is more than good enough compensation.

Ethiopian Airline, Emirates and Turkish airline are mostly occupied by Onitsha and Aba traders. Let them shift to Enugu. From Onitsha to Enugu is one hour while Aba-Enugu is one and half hours on the road. Let's gradually reduce dependence on Lagos and avoid waking up at Niger Bridge by 3am.

History will be made in the nation’s aviation industry on August 24, when the first international flight takes off from the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu . Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu yesterday commended the President Goodluck Jonathan administration for making it possible for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport to commence international flight operations.

Ekweremadu gave the commendation against the background of the scheduled commencement of international flights at the airport on August 24 by Ethiopian Airlines.

Other international airlines, including Emirates and Turkish Airlines would soon commence operations at the airport.

Senator Ekweremadu, who described the development as a “major milestone in the infrastructural renewal of the South-East and a monumental boost for both trade and Direct Foreign Investment (DFI) for the entire country,” also said it would alleviate the challenges faced by business persons travelling to the South-East.

“For many decades, the people of the South-East, local and international business communities had waited endlessly for the commencement of international flight operations in this airport. I know the people of the South-East will remain ever grateful to President Jonathan for this breakthrough.”

The deputy president of the Senate also commended the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, whom he said took the initial practical steps towards making the airport an international facility and a sub-regional aviation hub.

Extolling the Jonathan administration for faithfully nurturing his predecessor’s dream to reality, Senator Ekweremadu said the materialization of the vision highlighted the need for policy and project continuity in governance.

“It is also noteworthy that this project has gone on smoothly under the tenures of Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, who facilitated discussions with the late President Yar’Adua on the project as Minister of Transport, Mrs. Fidelia Njeze, who started the actual construction as Minister of Aviation and the current Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, who has driven this vision with tremendous commitment, passion and vigour to the point of reality today.”

The Senator also commended members of the Enugu State caucus of the National Assembly for committing their entire constituency project funds for 2008 to boosting budgetary provisions for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in accordance with the understanding reached with the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

“Lagos ACN wants to let Nigerians know that Igbos constitute over 45 per cent of the population of Lagos and they dominate key sectors of the Lagos economy. Is there any case where any of the millions of Igbo with one legitimate business or the other in Lagos is involved in the recent movement? Igbos find Lagos a safe haven for their legitimate productive activities and the present government has sustained good and cordial efforts to ensure this prevails. We want to state that Lagos hosts the largest population of Igbo in any single state outside Igboland, how is it that the movement of about 60 Igbo miscreants to their home state has now become an issue political and ethnic reapers want to cash in to destroy this priceless relationship?
