Ethiopian Airlines Begins International Flights From Enugu Airport; Nigerian Economy Receives a Boost

Posted by: niyi on August 19, 2013

Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu

The Federal Government, weekend, confirmed that Africa’s major carrier, Ethiopian Airlines, would kick off its inaugural flight from Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu to Addis Ababa, the East African nation’s capital on Saturday, August 24, 2013, making it the first international flight to be operated into the Eastern region of the country, barely two years after the airport in Enugu was accorded international status.

Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, made this known in Abuja, saying she had already written President Goodluck Jonathan informing him of the airlines’ inaugural flight which would arrive the Enugu airport by 12.30 p.m. and depart by 1:30 p.m. local time in the four-time weekly operation from Enugu.

The operation of Ethiopian Airlines into Enugu, she said, would be the satisfaction of an enduring call from the people of the region who had for many years, clamoured for an international airport which they believed would reinforce the resourcefulness of the people, known for their entrepreneurship and trade.

“Henceforth, businessmen and other travellers from Enugu, Aba, Abakaliki, Onitsha, Owerri, Umuahia,Uyo, Calabar as well as Asaba, Makurdi, Lokoja and Benin, will be saved the distress of travelling for hours to Lagos and Abuja to catch international flights, trips that are sometimes fraught with problems, including dangers on the road to catch international flights.

“Many of the passengers have lost their goods on transit as they convey them from these cities to their final destinations on their arrival from their overseas trips,” the Minister noted.

With the foray of Ethiopian Airlines into Enugu, businessmen and other travellers from all the states of the South East as well as Edo and Delta now have the option of making their international travels through Enugu, rather than erstwhile reliance on Lagos and Abuja.

General Manager, Corporate Communication, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Dati, said President
Jonathan’s administration had fulfilled its promise of giving every part of the country equal opportunity to develop and realise its dreams.

According to him, the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, was designed and built by the former Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme when he was only 26, while his vision of many years is now being fulfilled.

He said: “This Minister of Aviation has shown her determination to actualise the goals of the aviation master plan which the Jonathan administration has pegged its transformation agenda which objectives include giving every part of the country and every citizen the opportunity to grow to his full potential.

“With the international flight operations at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, a novel opportunity has been given to the people of the South East zone to expand their business horizon without stress and the inconveniences of having to travel far to catch international flights.”

FOR THOSE IGNORANT BIGOTS WHO ARE SAYING THAT THE ACTION MINISTER OF AVIATION, PRINCESS ADAEZE ODUAH HAS ABANDONED THE NORTH. READ BELOW HOW SHE HAVE TRANSFORMED KANO AIRPORT

Aviation: Princess Adaeze Oduah Boost Kano Airport

THE tragic incident that occurred on the night of Monday July 29, at Sabon Gari in Kano, when about 20 revelers were killed at a relaxation spot in the city, which was widely reported in the global media is one of tragic incidents that often shape opinions on economic interests in Nigeria and not what individuals say.

Another case in point occurred during the following week, when the United States Embassy in Nigeria put on hold the planned opening of its Kano consular office, citing insecurity in the northern part of the country. This was stated by Rhonda Ferguson-Augustus when during the press briefing, she noted that the uncertainty in the north was responsible for shelving the idea, adding that America wants to be sure of the safety of the people that would be going there. The latter is the driving point for the decisions of foreign interests to come or not to come to Nigeria. But FAAN as an organ of government is established for the Nigerian people and can only try to safeguard its staff and facilities, with no choice but to continue business even in the most volatile environments, except if the threat becomes targeted at aviation agencies and even at that, a review of the security situation will be done in order to reposition them.

I will like to recall here the viewpoints of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on the occasion on of unveiling of the terminal at MAKIA, where he used the occasion to dispel insinuations about the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, in not being interested in developing the Kano hub, when he asked those gathered at the event, “Why build a terminal if you don’t want the airlines to come?” He also used the occasion to restate his strong support for the minister saying it stemmed from her healthy dissatisfaction with the aviation status quo. He also mentioned that the Agric cargo terminal that has been proposed for Kano, when completed would go a long way in rejuvenating the economic development of the region.

And of course, at the Kano State government house, the governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso intimated the Minister of Aviation and her entourage that; “We were worried (about development in the aviation sector) before you came.” He expressed his delight at the prospect of Turkish and Emirates Airlines that will resume operations in Kano and other airlines that have signified interest in Kano route saying the state government will commit the sum of 28.4 million to the baggage claim area of the airport terminal.

I will like to allay the fears of Kano indigenes that there is no grand conspiracy anywhere to undermine aviation business in Kano State or Northern Nigeria, but rather efforts aimed at developing aviation in Kano and northern Nigeria in particular into multi-sector business cutting across agriculture, tourism and cargo for effective multiplier effect befitting a city with a heritage of commerce like Kano’s. So the clear role for all of us is to impress foreign investors by supporting the campaign against terrorism. In the end the benefit is ours.

Let me say that when we are confronted by a challenge, it is not a time to bicker, but an opportunity to join hands to find solution. Kano is an important part of Nigeria and it will do no particular good for anyone to whip up a sentiment of an indigene or create sectionalism in a unified society.

We are already reaping the fruit of reform in the aviation sector. For instance, Ethiopia Airlines, a member of star Alliance that includes several international carriers has concluded arrangement to commence international flight operations to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu, following the upgrade of the airport to an international airport. This month, the first international flight will land in that airport. MAKIA has been in the lead decades ago and where we have that conducive environment I believe it will not take forever for MAKIA to come back, because there are already investors waiting in the wing to catch in on the opportunity that remodeled airport now offer. And with the current concerted efforts of the federal government in that direction I believe it will not be too long.

Arik and Egyptian airlines have concluded plans to start Enugu - London and Enugu - Cairo respectively. This is good news for Eastern region and Delta state. More good news to come.

ok na

@SPYDER. Post more pictures for us to see

IT IS WELL

I PRAY THINGS WORK OUT WELL WITHOUT CORRUPTION

THE FACT THAT MALLAM SHAMA MALANGA(THE AUTHOR) HAS CHALLENGE THE BIGOTTED FANI KAYODE WITH HIS IMMORAL SE.XUALLY ACTIVE FAMILY TO TAKE HIM TO COURT OR SHUT UP BECAUSE HE HAS NUMEROUS SE.X VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF FANI KAYODE, HIS WIVES AND DAUGHTERS BEING INTIMATE WITH NUMEROUS PROSTITUTES, ATIKU, OBASANJO, COOKS AND SECURITY GUARDS TO PROVE HIMSELF RIGHT,COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT HE WAS INDEED CLOSE TO FANI KAYODE AND HIS FAMILY DURING OBASANJOS TENURE SHOWS THAT INDEED WHAT MALLAM SHAMA MALANGA WROTE IS THE TRUTH. FANI THE TRUTH IS INDEED BITTER.

LET ME MAKE ONE THING VERY CLEAR, NO IGBOLAND IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER!!!!!! ENUGU IS NOT SUPERIOR THAN ONITSHA OR OWERRI, AWKA IS NOT SUPERIOR THAN ABAKALIKI. WE MUST ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THE IGBO CULTURE BELIEVES STRONGLY IN EQUITY AND JUSTICE, THAT IS WHY MOST IGBO TOWNS/COMMUNITIES ORIGINALLY DONT HAVE KINGS. UGO BERE, EGBE BERE. BUT WE CAN COLLECTIVELY DECIDE TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO SOME TOWNS SPREAD EQUITABLE ACROSS IGBOLAND. THE TRUTH IS THAT SHOULD BIAFRA COMES ENUGU MAY NOT BE THE CAPITAL DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO NORTHERN NIGERIA, NON CENTRAL POSITION AND DISTURBANCES CAUSED BY NORMADS. THE PROPOSED OGBAKO (EQUITY) STATE WHICH COMPRISED OF AT LEAST 2 LOCAL GOVT FROM EACH SOUTHEAST STATE WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE BIAFRAN CAPITAL WITH ITS CENTRAL LOCATION AND MANY UNDEVELOPED HECTARES OF LAND. IN BIAFRA THERE WOULD BE NO STATE BUT PROVINCES, AREAS AND SECTORS.
