International Airport Project: Anambra Means Business- Capt. Nuhu Musa, DG Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority

By Ejike Abana (ABS Government House Correspondent)

The Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Captain Nuhu Musa says the ongoing Anambra International Airport, Umueri is truly of international standard.

Captain Musa was speaking while inspecting the airport project in company of Governor Willie Obiano and other senior officials of the Authority.

According to him, with the level of compliance to standards, Anambra state has demonstrated that they mean business.

While adjudging the control tower as one of the best in the country, as well as other facilities, Captain Musa stressed that all the things needed in a standard airport are in place within the airport, pointing out that when completed, the airport will be a significant enabler of economic development in the area.

Responding, Governor Obiano who reiterated that the airport will be functional by April 2021 said that they have achieved a greater percentage of the project.

When this airport is done and I am flying to Nigeria , I will not mind to pay more just to land on my father's land and head straight to my hometown, Igwulube Okodu!

One thing i like about Obiano compared to any previous Anambra governor is that he likes to do whatever he chooses to do very well. Look at the Mall Peter Obi designed for Onitsha, the 2nd largest commercial city in Nigeria! Mind you, that was done when oil price was more than $100/barrel!

Obiano just has a philosophy of thinking big and doing things to stand the test of time. When he said that he planned on making the runway 4KM to put this airport among exclusive list of airports with longest paved runways in Africa, I knew this man had the right character of doing things well and of standard quality to compete anywhere. Than fill the entire place with substandard mushroom projects. If any other previous Anambra governor had built this airport, it would have looked like a poultry and still cost even more! Perhaps, that was why people like me initially doubted it would be done at all, or done so shoddily cutting corners that it will end up another colossal waste like Rochas flyovers. That were built with such low quality that nobody dares to use them.

As much as i talk about Umahi not paying attention to the ballooning poverty rate in Ebonyi state, i love him so much for also being a man of similar bold outlook to life and a commitment to doing high quality projects that can compete with similar projects globally.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well and done to meet the best international quality obtainable anywhere in the world.

When this airport is eventually christined The Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri, obi etiwa some people aswear!

All said Anambra is the best state in the world

All the laudable projects by some of our eastern governors are really making me happy, but I wish our people and leaders will take trees, grasses, and flower planting as a priority and policy and stop building open drainages. Believe me, the east would have been the best region in Nigeria in terms of beauty we have fine houses. Just take Onitsha for instance, close your eyes and imagine if it is clean with trees and flowers lined all over the streets tell me why it will not compete with Abuja or even better.

You being silly or what?

Good to see Abuja has stopped pretending there’s no airport being built in Anambra and finally acknowledged its existence!

Next is for them to partner with the Governor to do what’s necessary to attract int’l airlines to the airport! I know what could be done behind the scenes to frustrate things! Pardon my cynicism...this is Nigeria!

Obiano is building the terminal the way warehouses and factory buildings are constructed with structural steel. Nothing particularly earth shattering about it. The whole longest runway in Africa is just total nonsense for a mediocre local airport with a capacity of 400 passengers.

Umahi in the same time frame has built far better infrastructure and buildings than Obiano and I am willing to bet that their white elephant airport in Ebonyi will be probably a better design even as poverty full ground Abakaliki.

Even in the U.S where I reside many government buildings are constructed with steel and woods. Stop being half exposed for a second. The terminal can always be redone. The Bush intercontinental airport as we know it today was what it was when it was built in 1969. They have expanded the terminal and added more features and beautification. Anambra has too many sectors pressing for infrastructures and we can dump all our funds in a single project just to impress you.

Now , can Obiano do better than what he has achieved so far ? Of course, yes, but he is out of time. So , let's count our losses and face the next guy. Personally, I don't think Obiano achieved anything worth jubilating.

There are still sand dunes on our roads.
The Awka bridges look mediocre.
Anambra still look like a desert filled with 4 storey buildings , no trees , no grasses and no green environment. Yet he lives in one of the most lush neighborhood in Houston , The expensive Woodlands.

Obiano , obviously failed on many aspects but let's move on.

Go and bet with your fellow losers we dont care. Anambra Airport is here to stay.. Top 3 in Nigeria... Now we expect you to ask Ebonyi, Enugu and maybe Asaba to close their Airports and use Anambra own.. Enugu and Ebonyi dont need an airport, they should make use of Anambra Airport..

Speaking further, Nuhu who is the head of the highest regulatory authority in aviation in Nigeria said, “we have seen the fire service station. Amazing. It’s going to be a CAT 955 firefighting station which will allow big planes and international flights to be landing and taking off here once flight resumes.”

Captain Nuhu further emphasized that everything about the aiport was perfect, pointing out that the consultants to the government of Anambra State on the project had done a great job.

“It is obvious when this airport is completed, it is going to be a significant enabler of the economy and growth of this area, the state and the surrounding states here. So, at this point I congratulate the governor for this legacy project,” he concluded.

It is obvious that Obiano imbibes to the best practices worldwide. Even opting for the expensive specialized airport fire trucks (The Striker) instead of the cheap and readily available fire trucks.

I truly give Obiano the respect for insisting on the very best in the aviation world for this airport. Many Nigerian state governors will simply buy a used fire truck that will not be able to fight a true plane crash fire. Thus, people will die from "saving" money by cutting corners.

A video of the capabilities of these specialized airport fire trucks will shows this is a beast of a machine! The last video is how these trucks saved a Boeing 737 from being engulfed in flames and thus saving hundreds of people onboard. Not to mention that the aircraft itself was also saved by these awesome specialized fire fighting trucks.

There is no ffucking reason in this world why all our major roads shouldn't be lined with native trees. If this was done since Obi's administration Anambra would have become one of the greenest state in Nigeria....Its so sad how wicked these governors are.

Every Anambra indigen up to 70yrs should have automatically paid government insurance. I hear some people here hyping Obiano including those who are "medical doctors" and "lives" in the U.S. And , you wonder why our people are so backward. Educated, yes , but ignorant as ffuck. They are only good at bragging...the average black man is senseless. He rejoice at his personal achievements while the Asians rejoice at what their societies have accomplished!

I know because I am a member of UIU North America branch and I just laugh at the so-called engineers and doctors...how shortsighted they all are.

Shut your mouth this peter obi boy... If peter obi did all those Obiano would have focused on other things but this is a governor that literally had to start from scratch to give Anambra its basic social amenities and infrastructure that Peter Obi couldnt do when Oil was at its highest with no recession, instead he was saving fake money.. He couldnt even complete a common shopping mall and hotel after 8 years and yet you have the guts to say Obiano failed in Many aspects..

Awka flyovers is still the best in SE... Pride of Awka Capital.. All the futile efforts of Peter obi boys to downplay the quality and impact of those flyovers because it was built by obiano and not Obi is a waste of time.. The same idiots who are not even engineers that question the quality of those flyovers still make use of it shamelessly. Even your god Obi still uses the flyovers.. Ndi ara

As a true Anambra son I am not here to make comparisons between Obi and Obiano because they both failed in many areas. My job is to speak the for Ndi Anambra who are unaware about the people running their affairs are shortchanging them.

I have been around since when Obi started his campaign from early days of APGA when Chekwas Okorie was the chairman and Umeh. I know the politics of Anambra and how Obiano was encouraged to run for the governorship seat.

Who doesn't know that Obi singlehandedly made Obiano the governor. Who doesn't ? It's a common knowledge. Obi was not the best but his frugality ensured that Anambra saved a lot of Monies and invested hugely on many stocks.

You think I am here to bicker with a hateful lunatic like you. You are a follower, I am not !

Where is that illiterate quack engineer mktinsight thats keeps constituting nuisance here. Anambra Airport is a bold project.. I'm personally glad about this airport because it will help open up Anambra economy and increase IGR for other projects for the next governor.. People forget that Anambra was literally a poor state before Obiano with IGR of 500 million.. Nothing could be done with that.. Now at over 2 billion, I expect the next governor to target 5 billion... That means enough funding for other legacy projects. Obiano has laid all the foundation to make Anambra a mega state, the next governor must not fail!!!

The difference between Enugu, Asaba, Ebonyi, Anambra and Owerri is the difference between Anambras 100 billion revenue and federal governments 10 trillion revenue. It's not with mouth you build airport.

Enugu now has the best terminal in the South East by far and the only one deserving to be called international. Anambra should have used that 30 to 60 billion to build proper wide roads in cities and proper drainage.

Dont stress yourself over hungry dogs like globemoney01. Obiano in 7 years with capital allocation of close to 1 billion dollars has little to show for his efforts. Aside his decoration and ramps in Awka expressway and Esther obiakor not a single new road was constructed in Awka. A city which is growing 10% per year.

You go to Onitsha and apart from beautifying another legacy infrastructure namely federal expressway around Borromeo roundabout. Nothing.

His so called legacy projects are nothing special. I schooled in the USA. My Alma mater raised 30 million dollars and with it constructed a stadium and sporting facilities better than the rubbish in Awka, world class library and classroom buildings. 1 billion dollars and people are celebrating mini airport terminal and mini stadium.

Th what a SECONDARY school stadium looks like and they are not broadcasting it

So Awka is no longer a Fifa goal project as you have been saying. It's now rubbish. Oga you no well.

You are an illiterate I dont waste my time arguing with dummies like you that is obviously trolling.. Its people that have time to waste that argue with you. I'm just reminding you that as advocate of not building Airports in close proximities, Anambra now has the best Airport facility in SE/SE so I want to see you asking other nearby states to shut down their Airports and make use of Anambra Airport. You have to be consistent with your foolishness...

I thought you said Anambra Airport won't be finished
From day one this Airport has been paining you, from the runway to apron, to Control tower, to ILS to cat 2 and now terminal building

Because of this Airport, land has more value even costly in Umueri and environ than Awka because our people knows what's coming up, real estates and hotels are springing up at Nteje-Umueri axis Uber taxi is also coming to the airport for pickup, Umueri people, also nahco and others are preparing for clearing and forwarding, the Airport will have more than 36 shops for buying and selling and it will be owned by ndi Anambra,
Anambra Airport is the only Airport that has cat 955 fire station, cat 2 lighting system with 1000meters resa on each end of the runway in Nigeria, there is no plan Airport like Anambra Airport anywhere in Nigeria even Africa, aviation experts knows that's why they are commending obiano, imagine Anambra Airport that's yet to be completed is gaining all this traffic, many of our rich men are placing reserve in the airport because it's International Cargo

We thought you were crying about viability of the airport, why are you now clutching on terminal building? Like I said I dont have time to waste with you because you are crazy.

However its good to see you now comparing Anambra to USA.. Before Obiano no one would ever believe Anambra would ever construct an International Airport, 10000 seater conference center and mini stadium within 8 years of recession and COVID, just after an admnistration that couldn't finish common shopping malls..

False pretender stop pretending.

I have always compared the nonsense in Anambra to other places. I compare Anambra infrastructure to VILLAGES and SECONDARY SCHOOL in America. Which means I am not eeven comparing it to CITIES.

Lets take a look at Woodlands Texas where Obiano goes to relax in his swimming pool while paying people like you to launder his image.

Contrast Woodlands a VILLAGE and its streets to Awka a CITY.

Leave that your village and travel.

my happiness is that Obiano is completing the airport project almost one year to his departure after its completion he still has time to do other projects if he wishes

So what's giving you headache and sleepless night about Airport Obiano is completing in less than 18mos

Hahahaha demonic evil owl that ply his trade at night. You suddenly woke up immediately someone posted Anambra international airport pictures.

Mktinsight go and die, because no matter how much you cry, Anambra international airport is now the best in eastern Nigeria and the international gateway to the region.
