I don't think the steel pillars will be exposed, some of them have been covered with claddings, as seen in the image below

ChimaAdeoye:
Hopefully, the disabled ramp also looks like this. With round pillars encapsulating the exposed steel pillars.

I also love that they intend to decorate with native artwork and paint the interior white to maximize illumination and create a calm and clean ambiance as observed in airports abroad.

Police Arrest Two Northerners Behind Recent Attacks In Imo

The two suspects are identified as Godwin Danladu and Bamaiyi Gada, according to Igbere TV, as the police confirmed that its operatives recovered an AK-47 rifle from the suspects.

The Imo State Police Command has arrested two gunmen who are alleged to be among the unknown gunmen causing crisis in the state in recent times.

The two suspects are identified as Godwin Danladu and Bamaiyi Gada, according to Igbere TV, as the police confirmed that its operatives recovered an AK-47 rifle from the suspects.

The two men, who hail from the North-West region, were also nabbed with military uniforms.

Imo State with adjoining South-East states have been at the centre of violence for months following unprovoked gunmen attacks on police and other security establishments which have led to confusion in the region.

SaharaReporters had on May 3 reported that policemen deployed to the South-East states were deserting their stations, and now preferred to go to work in mufti due to the pervading attacks.

It had been reported that most policemen, particularly those who are not Igbo indigenes, are desperately seeking redeployments amidst fear of the incessant attacks by “unknown gunmen.”

SaharaReporters had on April 19 reported that most policemen in Abia wear mufti, after heavily armed men attacked Uzuakoli Police Station in the Bende Local Government Area in a string of other attacks on other stations.

Investigations revealed that the officers are seeking to be deployed to investigating units such as the Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Inspector General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit, and special Squad.

It was also learnt that the affected personnel are currently meeting with their contacts within and outside the state and are willing to pay for their redeployment to be granted due to the fear of unknown gunmen.

While some senior officers believe that the officers should remain in the state to tackle the insecurity, others have already reached out to the police high command in a bid to facilitate the deployment.

Some of the officers also based their request on the need to be reunited with members of their families.

I have noticed that most of bigger evil tend to happen in Nigeria whenever Buhari travel. All the constitutional breaches, massacre of Innocent people always happened each time Buhari travels is either he setup those evil to happened once he travel outside Nigeria.

OldNairalander:
This thread is a follow up to the Southern governor's meeting.
The South is speaking with one voice. Let's extend it to nairaland.
Anything that affects South South also affects South West and East.
No more Yoruba - Igbo tribal hate speech
No more rejoicing on killings in Yorubaland, Igboland or any part of Southern Nigeria.
Let's put the past behind us and comment progressively on issues that will help the Southern region overcome her present challenges.
This thread is aimed at unifying all interest groups and removing all tribal e-fights on this forum
I can confirm that our leaders are on nairaland and use it as a public opinion tool.

Your suggestions on how best to resolve our common challenges are highly welcomed.

FYI I'm a proud NigerDeltan/Southern Nigerian.
Disclaimer: This thread is not a Southern Nigeria secessionist thread.

At the point where the dual carriage airport road starts from the Enugu - Onitsha expressway, I wish we could put a solid airport sign built with blocks on bricks background, as we find abroad. Instead of the usual ugly corrugated iron sheet, we use as signboards in Nigeria. Which after a few months rust and become an eyesore.

These signs are also artwork that helps to beautify a city and a state by creating landmark junctions. Let this airport truly introduce new and better ways of doing things to the highest quality instead of our local ways of doing everything to be the lowest quality in the world.

Governor Umahi is building an international airport bigger than Anambra own without making noise about it.Obiano pay media agencies should come up with other obiano project biko.

ANSMEDIA:
You are very right. Obiano shocked everyone, opposition are in disarray, haters are confused, they don't know what else to say. Some others are now saying that it is a Chinese property

Obiano delivered a masterpiece quality project in this Anambra international airport. God bless him and all if Anambra

ANSMEDIA:
The speed with which they are pushing on the overall project is just amazing. I wish this is how projects are done all over Nigeria. Good job

boogietrends:
Anambra amaka

If Anambra has $2.2b to play around with, I will personally invade Agu Awka to carry my own share.

We have been so blessed with good managers of resources.

Bogus001:
History would forever be kind 2 gov Obiano. airport legacy project=D0NE.

AsomughaChuks05:
As the servant of God, Fr. Ejike Mbaka has blessed the Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri for take off, that Airport will soar higher and higher to the benefit of Anambra state, in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

The next recession will be the worst ever in Nigeria history. Predictably, by Q2 of 2021, Nigeria will slide into her 4th recession, all under Buhari's government. This is a fact looming on our faces, if you blink, you are economically deseased.
By the mid-Q2, $1 is projected to hit N750, CBN cannot hold it as our import dependence cannot be supported by oil and gas earning. Then FG and CBN will have no option than to redenominate the Naira, such that the new Naira would be equivalence of US$50. However, your Naira in your bank would be devalued by 500%. Say you had N500,000, you will get N1000 new Naira That is not the problem. The problem is that the new Naira would become eroded in a year or 2, because the productive capacity of the economy is weak and our consumption will remain higher than production. Hence as an import dependent economy the new Naira will become worthless again. Unfortunately, our minister of Finance only knows how to borrow. Our debt servicing (not repayment) would swallow up non oil earning. Already states are already finding it difficult to pay salaries. Printing of currency would exercebate the already inflationary trend, leading to hyper-inflation. Government may clamp down on BDCs in her desperation, not minding the operators are Hausa/Fulanis.
The signs are everywhere now. Already some banks have pegged $ deposit to only $5k a month, this is to reduce amount of Fx people are buying and reduce the exhange pressure on few dollars coming in.
For you and I, the only option for self preservation is to save our money in Dollars or Pound Sterling.
A word they say is enough for the wise!

Madmohamed1:
my sister why you didn't go home who encouraged you to leave in the North. This will be a lesson to any Igbo man that still living in the North. RIP

ThumbzTNA:
I can say for sure that Umahi's mall will outclass Obiano's. When it comes to standard and quality of projects, no governor in the Nigeria (not just SE) comes close

ChimaAdeoye:
It is totally plausible and expected that Nigeria would not like the southeast zone to have a credible international gateway. Afterall, in the previous years, the same country has left no stone unturned to frustrate and prevent the proper development of Akanu Ibiam International airport to meet the standard of Lagos, Kano, and Abuja international airports. The "excuse" all this time had been that the Federal Government was not against an international airport in the Southeast region, but lacked the resources to build a befitting one for the region. Their thinking was that southeast governors were totally useless and greedy to embark on the heavily capital-intensive project of building a truly international standard airport based on their meager resources.

However, as his name indicates, Obiano (four hearts) is a man with the bravery of a tiger. Remember Obiano was the first southeast governor to dare building flyovers to decongest the traffic snarl in Awka. In fact when he started three flyovers simultaneously many called him a fool because they didn't believe a southeast state could build one flyover, talk more of three flyovers at the same time! Again, Obiano pleasantly proved us all to be wrong and completed the three flyovers within a record 2 and half years! Thus, he encouraged other southeast states including Rochas, Umahi and Ikpeazu to try and build flyovers in critical traffic junctions of their state.

I remember when Akanu Ibiam International airport was shut down in 2019 and remained shut down for more than 1 year just to resurface a 3KM runway! So when Obiano indicated that Anambra International airport's runway would be 3.7 KM by 60 meters wide and built to the highest international grade to ensure jumbo cargo jets as Airbus A380 and B747 could easily land and takeoff from the airport, almost everyone laughed at this dreamer governor! I doubted Obiano's determination and ability to complete the project so much that I strongly protested investing scarce resources in a project that would end up being abandoned! You can scroll back on my 2019 posts here and see my vehement protests then because i doubted that Obiano would somehow find the resources to execute such a massive gigantic project required for a truly international cargo airport. I never knew the man called Obiano was indeed a lion with 4 hearts! To add to our fears, Obiano announced that he would build 3 access roads to the airport. One would link the 33 road (Onitsha - Agulari road) at Nsugbe, the other would be the main access dual-carriageway from the Enugu- Onitsha expressway and the third would link from the Nteje - Umueri road by the Marist brothers school.

Today to our awesome amazement, Governor Willie Obiano has indeed completed all he promised to do without borrowing from any bank! The airport is slated to receive its first test run flight on April 30th, 2021! Despite Gov. Willie Obiano's good relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari and his Aviation Minister Alhaji Hadi Sirika, it is obvious that the hawks who had plotted to keep the southeast zone in stone age through denying it the benefits of international aviation would still try and throw obstacles towards this project. Nobody should be deceived to expect anything less because we all know that the anti-Igbo elements are alive and well in Nigeria. However, it should not deter the government from developing this airport to the highest standard of an international airport. No matter who tries to throw obstacles towards its eventual international cargo flights' license as previously approved is only fighting a losing battle. The airport is already born and a living reality today. To attain its natural use as an international cargo airport is merely a question of when not if.

OK

government can't stop them, they are also arms of government.

this case is government fighting government

OreMI22:
Another faceless Fulani e-warrior.

It pains them so much that if Igbos leave Nigeria, the other groups will not stay and submit their resources for further Fulani thievery and squandering.

I have never heard Igbos say the reason they want to leave and govern themselves is because of Bendel or Yoruba. They have expressed it openly that it is the suffocating Fulani strangulation and determination to treat southern Nigeria as a conquered territory that must not be developed by Fulani Federal government but must be totally exploited and its resources stolen for Fulani exclusive use that has brought us into the current situation and impending civil war.

Why Fulani fellows in nairaland think writing junk to pitch Igbos Igbos against yoruba or Igbo Igbo against Hausa shows they are desperately out of ideas and their divide and rule strategy in Nigeria has totally collapsed.

As an Anioma man that belonged to the defunct Bendel state, the reason i have not responded to this Fulani thread is that i laugh at their silly mentality that they are smarter than every southerner.
The same Fulani people that slaughtered us in Asaba even when we were part of Nigeria and not Biafra, are now telling us again that we are not Igbo

No need to respond to them. Let them continue deluding themselves that somehow they are fooling anyone. Nigeria has since passed that stage where people doubted the intentions of Fulani for all of us.

AsomughaChuks05:
The way some people are attacking the Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri, it is clear that they are worried about the continued viability of nearby airports which depends a lot on wealthy Anambra customers to survive. Without federal funding, only the airport in Umueri and that in Port Harcourt can survive solely on customer patronage as far as SE/SS is concerned. But a time will come when the federal government will even abandon those airports and hand them back to states as plummeting revenues will cause the financial chokehold on the federal government to become unbearable. That's when neighbouring states will start traveling to Anambra for their International flights.

OreMI22:
Did anyone notice that since the progress of this airport became a reality, they quickly revoked the Orient petroleum license to build a modular refinery?

One wonders what their game plans are really about .

Rocksvibes234:
Yes bro, but there schedule make them to be working amazing hard.

According to my guy who visited last two days , I think it will be ready ready by may.
They av set out every thing, landscaping of the airport including the internal roads, car park are completed remaining laying of stone base and final asphalt and interlock in some areas.
I think other equipments like ILS, escalators and lift, air control gadgets, interiors for terminal building etc have been cleared at the port and started arriving the at the airport site and awaiting installations.
