Anambra Airport Nears Completion

By Ejike Abana (ABS Government House Correspondent)

Work is on top speed to complete the Anambra International Cargo and Passenger airport, Umueri by Governor Willie Obiano's administration.

As is customary since the project commenced a year ago, Governor Obiano embarked on his weekly inspection visit to the site in company of his wife, Dr. Ebelechukwu Obiano, Senator Joy Emordi, Council of Knights of the Anglican Communion, Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Bobo Oyeyemi, Chief Executive Officer of Rotech Energy Services Limited, Chief Austin Oguejiofor, among others.

Since the last visit, visible changes were noted including completion of the two taxiways, advancement in the water reticulation project, completion of block work within the terminal building, ongoing tilling of the terminal building, among others.

Governor Obiano said that the state government is looking at maximum of two months to certify the airport for commercial flights operation, emphasizing that funds was not borrowed for the project.

The Commissioner for Works, Engineer Marcel Ifejiofor who pointed out that equipments for the terminal building and the control tower have all being paid for, said that the aerodrome fencing is ninety five percent completed.

While noting that the test run operation conducted on the thirtieth of May, 2021 was successfully passed, Engineer Ifejiofor appreciated the governor for prompt payment of contractors which is why the project is progressing rapidly.

How Anambra airport’ll boost state’s economy
7th May 2021

SHARES
By Chinelo Obogo

For decades, the prospect of having an international airport in Anambra state continued to elude its citizens despite their huge commercial enterprises  cities like Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi, noted for automobile and other industrial manufactures.

The first attempt by the state government was geared towards building an airport at Oba but that plan didn’t work out as expected. However, after many years, three communities, namely Nteje in Oyi Local Government, Umueri and Nsugbe in Anambra East Local Government eventually gave portions of their land to the state government for an international airport which which would include access roads. The location of the airport itself is in Umeri and Daily Sun gathered that the State Government compensated the communities affected by the development and promised to ensure that  they would also get more job slots when recruitment commences.  After about 1500 acres of land was secured for the construction of the airport, Governor Willie Obiano then approved the investment of N5 billion for the development of a new four-lane road to the airport.

On April 30, 2021, the state government carried out a test run of the airport facilities, a standard practice in aviation and Daily Sun was there to witness the occasion. Three aircraft, a Boeing 737 and an Embraer 145 in the fleet of Air Peace and a smaller plane belonging to Sir Ernest Obiejesi landed at the airport  which already boasts of all the basics of an airfield; a completed 3.7km runway, an apron, a control tower and an almost completed terminal building.

It will take a motorist about 15 to 20 minutes to get to Onitsha city from the airport through Umunya Community, around the same time it takes to get to the commercial city from Asaba airport if the traffic gridlock which usually occurs on the Niger Bridge is taken into consideration. It would also take a motorist about 25 minutes or less to get to Awka, the state capital.

The airport has a jet fuel dump, space for the establishment of an aircraft maintenance facility, airport hotel and international convention center. 

Though the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said the airport is still undergoing the necessary tests before approval, the state government said it had already got a license from the Federal Government for an international airport which will start with local operations, a regional operation with international flights coming up later.

The Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, who flew in two of the airline’s aircraft for the test running, said the runway can land a Boeing 777 and an Airbus 380 which are the biggest planes applauded the quality of the work done.  

 “This is the fastest airport to be approved by the Federal Government for a test flight and it is a testament of the quality of job done here. This runway can land a Boeing 777 and an Airbus 380 which are the biggest planes. This is the first time an airport in Nigeria will be doing a test run with a Boeing 737. Test runs are usually done with smaller planes which is why we decided to bring a small plane and a big one to show the quality of job the government has done.

“This airport is not going to serve only Anambra people, it would serve the entire South East and the country at large. I said four months ago that President Muhammadu Buhari will approve this airport as an international and cargo airport. One thing that is certain is that the airport will generate millions of jobs for our people. Forget where the airport is sited; we have nothing against it because there is plenty of land which helped to ensure that a 3.7 kilometer runway is built,” Onyema said.

How airport’ll impact commercial activities

Opinions are divided on whether an international airport is necessary for the state considering that it is surrounded by two local airports in Asaba and Owerri and one international/local airport in Enugu. A businessman and engineer, Mr. Ndubuisi Ojiakor, who owns shops at Warri, Delta State, told Daily Sun that anytime international operations eventually commence, entrepreneurs like him who import goods from Asia would save a lot of money and time if they can fly their goods straight into the state, rather than having to go through the rigours of travelling to Lagos and paying demurrage.

“The new airport is a welcome development because it will save entrepreneurs like us the stress of travelling to Lagos and paying high demurrage on goods, since it is closer to the direct consumers. Anytime the FG officially allows for international operations, most businessmen like us will rather bring in our goods from abroad straight to Anambra, take them to our villages and carry them to our shops bit by bit without paying outrageous bills to agents in Lagos all in the name of using the facilities beyond the expected time/overtime.

“If more international cargo flights can come through Asia, especially China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Thailand and most African countries too, inflation of  price goods and services will be a thing of the past. Transportation, haulage of goods and logistics over longer distances are some factors that leads to increase in the prices of goods and services.

“Instead of spending about seven to eight hours to Lagos from Warri and about 45 minutes’ drive to Murtala Muhammed Airport from Ojota, I will spend only three hours to Onitsha and from Onitsha to Umueri is just about 20 minutes’ drive without traffic. Instead of spending about N10, 000 for hotel accommodation in Lagos for a night, I would rather go to my village in Ojoto which is about 20 minutes’ drive from Umueri and sleep comfortably without paying a dime. These are some of the advantages in having an international airport in the state,” Ojiakor said.

A member of the House of Representatives from the state, Chuma Nzeribe, said one of the challenges the government would have is making the airport accessible to passenger and cargo traffic from different parts of the country. He suggested that ways this can be achieved would be through the proposed Anambra super highway, which if implemented will make it easy for those coming from 9th Mile, Enugu and Kogi states.

“One of the challenges the state government would have is making the airport accessible to passenger and cargo traffic from different parts of the country. One of the ways this can be achieved is if the proposed Anambra super highway which if carried out will make it easy for those coming from 9th Mile, Enugu and Kogi states. If the Otuocha-Ibaji-Ajaokuta federal road which is under construction is completed, it would also increase patronage to the airport,” Nzeribe said.

Completion of different aspects of the airport

The Commissioner for Works, Mr. Marcel Ifejiofor, told aviation reporters that work done in the airport has reached 90 percent completion. He said: “The runway, apron and the taxi way are 100 percent completed. The terminal is 90 percent completed. The good thing about what we are doing here is that all the equipment have been paid for. The lights, the aero bridges, the security, the Instrument Landing Systems and the VOR have all been paid for. By the next two months, everything should have been completed and we would commission the airport. For landscaping, the contract has been awarded and it is not a show stopper. Our budget is on a yearly basis.

“The governor of Anambra State had created a community. An airport is a community both socially and economically. The vision is unprecedented and he has taken Anambra state to another level both economically and socially. At the construction stage, we employed about 2,500 workers and we have the suppliers. In a day, our suppliers bring in about 72 trucks, 30 tons of chippings. People are supplying these things and the equipment we are using here are many. Diesel, cement and sand are supplied. The food vendors are also benefiting. The employment opportunities are unprecedented. When the terminal is completed, it won’t take anything less than 100 workers. Employment opportunities cuts across aviation security, fire control workers, shops etc.

“The license we have from Ministry of Aviation is for Anambra International Cargo airport. Our runway is 3.7km, the apron is 300 by 200meters and it can take eight Boeing 727s. The critical aircraft for this place is Boeing 727. We have a strip of 140 meters on the other side of the runway. We have three access roads; one that is under contract and is being worked on, another one comes from Onitsha road but we have the major entrance that leads to the express.

“Our projected passenger traffic is 1,200 daily passengers because the terminal is designed for 400 passengers at a time. In other countries, there are airports in every city. The easiest and safest means of transportation is by air. So, it doesn’t matter if there are airports in neighboring states.

“As we speak we are doing a tank farm with a capacity if two million, one hundred liters of aviation fuel and it is a  private sector arrangement which  is 80 percent completed. We have a control tower in Nigeria and it is done on concrete.  The staircase is fireproof. We call it the safe heaven. Once there is fire in that building and we enter the staircase and close it, the fire would not get in. It also has a self-fire-fighting equipment. Every room and office has a sprinkler. Beside it, we have a fire house which takes 12,500 liters each and they are three. So the category if fire we have here is category 9, which is the biggest. The runway can take A380, it can take airbus.

“The contract to train the technical personnel has been awarded to East wing. This includes general training, aviation safety and security. The governor visits this site at least once a week and we have been here for one year and three months and no contractor is owed here. Once contractors submit their certificates, he pays. He has not borrowed any money to construct this airport. Already, airlines and other service providers are showing interest to come to this airport. So many people want to do hangar here. Air Peace has indicated interest to set up a Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) and an aviation school is coming here to set up a training school. Before December 2021, commercial schedule operations would have commenced at this airport.”

State government says no money was borrowed for airport

Obiano while speaking at the event, said it is difficult to create a new economic corridor without a functional international airport that will serve as a direct bridge between the state and the world. Though he didn’t say how much has been spent on the airport so far, he revealed that the state didn’t borrow money for the project.

“The Anambra International Airport is the most audacious legacy of my administration and perhaps the most revolutionary too. Experts tell me that our airport has set a record in the aviation industry as the fastest and most modern airport to be built in recent times. This airport took 15 months to build. Construction work began in January 2020 and here we are; 15 months after, witnessing the first flight into the airport.

“The most interesting thing about this airport, for me, is that the Anambra State Government did not borrow a kobo to build it.  Our dream for our own airport began almost 30 years ago when the Government of Anambra State acquired 530 hectares of land in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area with the intention of building a domestic airport. The idea came up again in 2006 when Orient Petroleum dreamt of building an airport here in Umueri.

“Seven years ago, we announced that our vision was to make the state the first choice investment destination and hub of industralisation and commercial activities. We also declared that our Mission was to create a socially stable, business friendly environment that will attract both indigenes and foreigners to wealth creating opportunities in the state.

It is difficult to create a new economic corridor without a functional international airport that will serve as a direct bridge between us and the world. With this facility, we have made the journey easier for any investor who wants to prospect Anambra State for business,” Obiano said.

ChimaAdeoye:



The ignorance that all international flights originate from ONE airport abroad and must end in ONE airport in Nigeria is part of our biggest damaged mindset of being in Nigeria for too long. All over the world, one airport can specialize in receiving international flights from Asia and another specializes in flights from Europe, etc. There is no reason why Ethiopian and Turkish air that indicated interest to fly to Enugu should not continue to use the AIIA. While the new Anambra Intl. airport concentrates on getting direct flights from China and the far-east where most Nigerian traders visit. Truth be told, AIIA, Enugu cannot handle more than 6 international airlines going there daily. The infrastructure simply does not exist for enough baggage claim carrousel, airport security, or even chairs for intending travelers!

What we ask for each time we say London Heathrow airport handles 80 million passengers why can't Lagos handle the same? Yet we don't invest in the level of infrastructure to enable us to handle that population of passengers as Heathrow, or Atlanta, or Bangkok. It's like a village hut owner asking why his hut cannot contain 500 people to sleep in comfort while Nicon Hilton Abuja can contain 1,000 people to sleep in comfort. The answer is INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE IT! None of our airports in Nigeria today was built to properly handle 2 million passengers. So any airport handling more than that without a massive expansion of infrastructure is doing so chaotically and people will hate to use such overcrowded hellish facilities.

The sad thing about Nigerians is that they want all planes to land in one airport because it's located in their village, yet they won't spend the money to build such facilities to handle that massive number. Look at Lagos airport, it is congested and chaotic. It does not even have chairs for passengers to sit in! You will have to pretend you want to eat Mr. Biggs just to sit in their chairs and wait for your flight! Imagine if all flights to Abuja, Kano, PH are also forced to use only Lagos airport with its very poor infrastructure.

Countries where more than 6 international airlines use an airport ensure that such airports are huge! It must have many terminal and an adequate number of chairs for the number of passengers expected. In fact, many such airports abroad require trains to move from one terminal to another because the airport is vast to ensure an easy and efficient flow of passengers, landings, takeoffs, and where planes can park. Nigeria cannot afford to build such super airports, yet we always want our tiny terminals and tiny aprons to hold 100 planes at once! Not to mention the number of people who will need to be searched and processed before they get to the secure parts of the airport. It is often a logistical nightmare that countries with the poor organizational ability and inadequate infrastructure are unable to cope with.

I have said this before and will repeat it again because our people don't understand this fine point. We build airports so that BOTH Nigerians and foreigners can come and use the facility without crying about the hellish ordeal of going through our airports. The level of ease using our airports should be the same level of ease using Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town or Cairo, or Nairobi airports! Even Ghana has upgraded the Kotoka Intl airport because your airport isn't just for your citizens. It should also meet basic international standards and AVOID OVERCROWDING due to too few facilities INCLUDING QUEUING TO USE TOILETS!

Even in the most developed countries, it is foreigners that drive their international airports traffic.

Nigeria truly cannot afford to build the type of mega airports abroad that handle so much traffic at once. Apart from the prohibitive cost, Nigeria does not even have enough landmass for such mega airports with 5 or 6 parallel runways and 10 or more huge terminal buildings, even in northern Nigeria. Therefore the model of multiple medium international hubs is the only way to maintain decently functional international airports within our budget. Luckily that model helps to reduce regional tension in a highly complex and divided country like Nigeria where government policy deliberately seek to undevelop parts of the same supposed one country.

Tourism development is a big way to also drive international traffic by foreign visitors. Part of the reason Nigeria is unable to attract tourists is due to lack of many international airports in various locations that tourists can visit any part of Nigeria within 2 or 3 hours of a small international airport.

The interior of the train terminal is good no doubt, but the project is not a Lagos state government project, it is a Nigeria project that you and your generations will be paying until the loan is paid to China Exim bank with interest. All the comparisons should stop some people here even want the airport to be the Heathrow airport, others want it to be the new Kotoka in Ghana but they all forget one thing that Anambra airport is just a state airport, not a country built airport. There are other things that make a good airport, not just the terminal building even Ghana Kotoka has a 3.4 km runway. Anambra has 3.7

Mad people everywhere! Why not post the video of the train station in London and ask that Anambra should replicate it? When the Nigerian flagship international airport terminals in the capital (Abuja & Lagos) are worse than train stations in countries ranked amongst the poorest nations on earth? Ndi ala!

With all its oil money, not being under any international sanctions whatsoever, oil-rich Nigeria's flagship international airport terminals at Abuja international airport or Lagos international airport cannot even reach the standard, majestic size, and quality of the train stations in supposedly poor North Korea!

Yet, you aren't ashamed of being a Nigerian! It is a marginalized state government that managed to build a standard international airport for its people that is your nightmare.

Seriously mad people everywhere.

I'm from anambra and I'm satisfied with what they did. What the level of money Anambra makes I must say they did a great job. That airport is better than many airports in Nigeria.

But don't come and turn the airport into an FG blame game because you're not satisfied with what is there and want it to look like Lagos or Heathrow. If Obiano had gone to lobby FG for an airport he would wait till eternity because they have made it clear that they will build no new airport. Only renovate existing ones they own because they don't have money.

If Anambra continues to grow it's economy, automatically investors will support more terminals. MMA2 was not built by FG. Even the new MMIA2 is not being done with FG money.

So it's a senseless and a huge waste of money (likely to be borrowed) for Anambra to go and construct an outlandish terminal they might not even be able to maintain. And nobody is cheating Anambra or blocking our progress, it's high time we focus on developing ourselves more instead of blaming other people or tribes unnecessarily.

How much did you pay in taxes last year?
Nigerians said good soup na money, Kill am. Anambra state has built a good airport with what they can afford without putting their own citizens in debt.
Anambra state doesn't have the capacity to build the kind of terminal that will meet your standard how much is Anambra state budget? Cook County in Illinois (Chicago) has a population of about 5.1million with a budget of 6.2billion dollars County is an equivalent of a Local government. Anambra state population is about 4.1million that their budget is not even up to half-billion-dollar.

Anambra State population is up to 10.2million(estimated by ANSG), and our budget is not even upto 200billion yet and some people will be wanting us to build heaven on earth.

It's a good thing though, but it will be through investors, BOMT or PPP agreement,

jamjo:

anambra state population is about 4.1million that their budget is not even up to half-billion-dollar.

am sorry but u re a mumu.

U re comparing Train station, even the train station is better than even both Abuja and Lagos Airport mumu.

Even the ongoing anambra airport terminal interior will be more beautiful than that of Abuja and Lagos terminal interior, obiano built the best Airport longest runway, tallest control tower, best fire station in Nigeria and even the terminal, just that the terminal is not very big but.

Stop talking about fool because you are fool already



SO IN NIGERIA TRAIN STATION IS BETTER THAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.


AND U SAY UR NOT A FOOL?



WAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE INTERIOR OF LAGOS TRAIN STATION THAT CANNOT BE DONE FOR THAT SMALL AIRPORT IN ANAMBRA?





U BUILT A VERY TINY TERMINAL BUILDING AND U SHOULD BE ABLE TO DESIGN THE INTERIOR TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARD.

U re fool, you are here giving your self headache on an ongoing project, that terminal building interior upon completion will be the best and most beautiful.,
U can call it small Airport for your eyes but it has the longest runway in Africa 5.7km and tallest control tower and best fire station and terminal building. The only Airport with CAT 2 lighting system in Nigeria, and satellite landing system in sub-sahara Africa., You are here giving yourself headache on a terminal building yunno that can be constructed more in future time. Even aviation fuel farm is currently going and they are making plans for a service center and MRO. Alot of Cargo handling company are preparing for the commencement. There are lots of land and rooms for future expansion and development

Below are pictures of airport built by former governor of oil rich Bayelsa in 2019 even borrowed to fund the project, can you compare this to what Gov Obiano is building without borrowing at this period the nation's economy is in crisis, and some idiots that can't wait to see the airport completed are comparing to a project China are funding that Nigeria government is already finding difficult to repay the loan

CAN I ASK U A QUESTION


DO U HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CITIZENS KEENLY FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR STATE.



IS IT YOUR PRIVATE MONEY THEY ARE USING TO BUILD THE AIRPORT?


THE PEOPLE FROM THE STATE HAVE A RIGHT TO FOLLOW THE PROGRESSION OF PROJECTS IN THEIR STATE AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS.



Y ALL THE HOSTILITY OVER A SIMPLE SUGGESTION THAT THE INTERIOR OF AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SHOULD MEET INTERNATIONAL STANDARD?
