Nice..umahi is really trying. I also wish he engage more in economic and industrial projects too. Ebonyi is the food basket of the nation and I'm yet to see him commission any mega economic agricultural projects in the state. Even the lime Stone and granite that Ebonyi state is blessed for is yet to be utilized for industrial purposes. Any update on ibeto/nkalaagu cement factory?

If you don't BAN or restrict street trading you remain primitive. No high end retail with beautifully designed shops. No comfortable restaurants. No you will perennially cater to wheelbarrows and shacks and primitive shops and that is what you will get with Onitsha and Nnewi being a prime example.

This is Awka. You can notice in these clip, some of the issues i talked about earlier.

Different people with different perspectives to issues. Igbos leaders should call for release of kanu

IGBOSON1:
I'm certain he's a multiple-monikered, Igbo-hating bigot and part of the malevolent group trying to 'deal with the south-east and teach us a lesson for daring to want to secede and for daring to have a go at being president of Nigeria when said position is reserved for the other two major ethnicities'! I've got the measure of him!

Cj, does these pictures actually represent entire cities you mentioned. There's no city in Nigeria that doesn't have its own fair share of bad roads. Delta is a major oil producing state like Akwaibom but one can never place Asaba on the same pedestal with Uyo. Even ikot ekpene is almost overtaking Asaba despite the huge oil revenues. Agreed Anambra has its own fair share of bad roads just like every single state in Nigeria, but the reality is that Soludo is tacking it state wide. By the time he is done, Anambra would have regained it prime position as the state with the best road networks in Nigeria.

ChimaAdeoye:
One hopes that Soludo will continue to devise a way of using Direct Labour to address the mammoth challenge of bad roads within the major Anambra cities.
It is obvious that due to how massive the collapse of road infrastructure is within Anambra cities, not even the budget of Lagos State can address the situation by awarding all the roads as "Contracts". Let contracts to construction companies be used for building roads traversing from one part of the state to another. While internal city roads and drainage gutters are purely by DIRECT Labor through a special committee on Anambra internal city roads that reports directly to the governor.

If we learned anything from the administration of Sam Egwu and Umahi in gradually transforming the city of Abakaliki as the best good roads network in the southeast, it is the fact that they both used DIRECT LABOUR to gradually rebuild every street and every gutter in the city. That is the ONLY cost-effective method that can be employed to transform the internal city roads in Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, etc.

We cannot afford the method of awarding "contracts" for our internal city roads in Anambra state. That is a very expensive and wasteful method which will not address 1% of the problem of bad roads within our major cities.

GBAM! I hate the way the Obi people want to continuously demonize Obiano in order to claim his solid achievements as their own!

If Obiano was a failed governor as they had hoped, they would have dissociated themselves from any of his projects! It is clear that the Taraba Governor was just lying through his teeth that Obiano told him mockingly that it was Obi's money that he utilized to build the Anambra Intl. airport! Let's face it, Obiano could never have said that. Remember this false statement was purportedly made during Obiano's second term when his relationship with Obi had become so dreadful. To the contrary, Obiano made it public that he actually inherited about N10 billion naira in the Anambra accounts, but had a liability of more than N110 billion naira in debt owed!

Moreso, another piece of evidence that Obiano never told the Taraba governor that silly lie is that he began building the airport in his 2nd term! At that time, he had a very adverse relationship with Peter Obi due to numerous attacks on his person by the former. Not to mention that if Obi had left anything in the preceding 6.5 years before the airport construction was started by Obiano, that resource would have long been used to complete the Agulu Lake Hotel in his hometown, the Onitsha mall, and numerous roads and bridges abandoned at the time!

Willie Obiano is truly a juggernaut! So he decided not to ruin Obi's chances by coming out in public to expose the lies told by the Taraba governor. I hope Prof Soludo will learn Obiano's method of KEEPING QUIET and WORKING HARD for the progress of the people that elected him instead of writing letters. Ultimately, it is Ndi Anambra that will decide if he did well or not as their governor. Not the faceless social media goons that have no PVC!

globemoney01:
Pls stop bringing up the Taraba governor fake news. Obiano has never mentioned he built the airport from any savings.
Obiano has only said he inherited over 100 billion debt!
If the airport had failed glory hunters would have disassociated themselves from it !

*First Anniversary of Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport*

By Paul Nwosu

The First Anniversary of Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport, Umueri is at once a cause for celebration and sober reflection.
It calls for celebration that such a magnificent edifice could be built against all odds, especially as the Covid-19 pandemic raged on and successfully began flight operations on December 7, 2021. The brand new airport built under administration of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, remarkably recorded 142 flights carrying 3,865 passengers in its first month of operation. The airport has ever since waxed quite strong by serving as a well-facilitated conduit for ferrying passengers ever since its commencement of flight activities. It especially saved the highly itinerant Anambra commerce-oriented people the trouble of having to travel to Asaba, Enugu or Owerri to catch flights to their business destinations.

The sober reflection on Anambra International Airport is that it is as yet a work in progress. The necessary hope is anchored on the multiform plans Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, has in place of turning the airport into an international showpiece for passengers and cargo haulage. Mr. Governors design of an Anambra Emporium for exports bears the imprimatur of the Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport.

Anambra State Commissioner for Transport, Mrs. Patricia Igwebuike has given the promise that regular international flights may commence at the turn of the New Year. She disclosed that discussions are ongoing with some airlines in France, Germany and the United States for the commencement of the international flight operations.
In this busy Christmas season, the domestic passenger airlines, Air Peace and United Nigeria Airline, are busy flying full schedules into and out of Anambra State.

On the planned international front, initial studies have shown that from Anambra to Miami in the USA is just about eight hours of flight time. Transport Commissioner Mrs. Patricia Igwebuike said: We are engaging with the airlines to find out ways we can make it possible for airlines to carry passengers from Anambra to Miami directly.”

It is a universally known fact that commerce is the second name of Ndi-Anambra who are always open for business. Through the airport, Anambra businessmen and women are ready to build relationships and interface with their contemporaries around the world.

On the part of the government, Mrs. Igwebuike stressed: We are also looking for partners from airports around the world. We are new, and the advantage of being new is that we get to do things in line with international best practices. We are looking for investors and experts that will assist us in capacity-building. Also, we want to grow our revenue base.”

The Anambra aviation authorities are in advanced discussions with many local and international airlines, and Commissioner Igwebuike assures that “we are doing things systematically and learning from those who are already in the system. We do not believe in reinventing the wheel.” Mrs. Igwebuike further said: We have engaged with some companies in France, Munich, and now we are engaging the Maimi Dade County. We will seek a partnership or some sort of collaboration. We are going to acquire all the necessary footprints to make ourselves known.”

The grand plan is to make the Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport commercially viable. Through the Anambra Emporium, export revenue will start flowing into the state through the vast riches of exportation via the airport. Being in its first year, the airport is still in the process of growth. In due course, it will break even.

According to Commissioner Igwebuike, We have generated revenue from the airport for the government of the state. It is very promising from the way we are going and when we grow it the way we want to grow it, both the commercial arm and others, it will be self-sustaining. That is where we are going.”

The Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport is indeed an idea whose time has come.

Stuffs like this should be posted on pan Igbo thread not here. The only thing to be entertained here is news concentrated in Anambra state.

You can still go and post this Maria nwachi post on Ebonyi thread.

Let's stop polluting and deviating this thread.

There has been an upsurge in herdsmen kidnappings in Enugu over the last few days. This is coming after Enugu residents complained of helicopters dropping northerners in the hills surrounding the city.. The Nsukka to Enugu part of the state is basically under lockdown. Folks that travelled down to the villa can't come out. Even students returning back to UNN are being kidnapped..

Is anyone noticing how the pounds and dollar is going up every hour today?

Dollar went from 750 to 760 to 777 today.

Pounds went from 850 to 867 to 877.

I pity those planning to vote Tinubu and APC.

By December, you will all see the unclothedness of this country.

This dirty sweating scammer, you are still crying over Obiano after he chased miscreants like you out of the streets. Again, Obiano did more important things than roads. Every governor can build roads, even Mbadinuju, Peter Obi and other mediocre governors built roads, but not every governor can start and complete an Airport, Stadium, ICC etc in just 8 years.

But even at that Obiano built more roads than all former Anambra governors. Most roads Soludo is awarding today are the fake substandard roads peter Obi did in less than 16 years.

You and your fellow idiots NwekereNdoki should stop derailing this thread by crying over Obiano every now and then, take your frustrations to your states.
