One hopes that Obiano remembers that this project was both for an international airport and an airport city project.

The airport city will accelerate international standard physical development and attract international companies to Anambra as much as the international airport itself.

The best part is that the airport city will not cost the state one kobo. All they need is to sign the MOU with a reputable realtor company and another Awka Millenium city will berth at the new airport city site.

What is happening in Onitsha? The whole of Onitsha roads are blocked. No coming in no going out. Tankers have blocked the whole road alleging that “obiano boys” assaulted their colleague. I don’t know if death was involved.
This is very bad...the days activities will be crippled if the Governor doesn’t act fast and call warring parties to order. What nonsense is this in Anambra state..shit!

Anambra can generate tens of billions of naira annually from levies on trucks passing through Anambra state. The position of Anambra as the gateway to the east should be leveraged upon to generate IGR as oil revenues dry up. What should be worked out however is the mode of collection. Though many of those truck drivers are stubborn and will like to speed away when flagged down but a system to track them through their plate numbers can be developed to arrest and prosecute them for tax evasion.

On what basis exactly!?!
Must nigerians suffer themselves!?!
More reason Nigerians die young.
We only think of ways to scuffle ourselves.

On what basis are you taxing and pulling up rubbish levies? Bc you're gateway!?! Hope when biafra is achieved and the niger Delta decides to do same, hope you won't cry foul.

You wanna start exploiting truck drivers carrying goods. No solid infrastructure, no maintenance, no night and day security. End of the day na u and I go suffer bc those item prices will eventually shoot up and you will blame buhari for your self incurred inflation. Who is now suffering!?!

Pls stop reasoning backwards.

What do you propose? Reason forward, let's hear you out.

If they must be levied then ensuring they pay is a piece of cake. Just provide a place where they can drive into and get their tickets on entry into the state. Then the tickets will be demanded for at exit points of the state. Failure to provide the ticket or proof of payment of levy would attract a stiff penalty.
Collection of levies on the road by touts is so barbaric. It is part of what gives Lagos its jungle reputation. I'm surprised it is still happening in Anambra.

Anambra International Airport: A Study In Financial Prudence

Since the test-landing of two commercial aircraft and a corporate jet at Anambra International Cargo/Passenger Airport on April 30, 2021, the nation has been ecstatic about the incredible progress at Nigeria’s most modern airport. Apart from being the first time jet planes have ever landed in Anambra State, the airport has seized the national imagination on account of its being built up to global standards in just 15 months without a loan from any institution anywhere in the world. This is a very impressive record anywhere.

It is regrettable, however, that this stupendous accomplishment by the people and Government of Anambra State has not gone down well with a coterie of politically exposed persons who are determined to ruin their own state, all in the name of the gubernatorial vote in the state which will hold on November 6, 2021. The shadowy characters have alleged, for instance, that a whopping two billion dollars has been spent on the airport, which has yet to be completed.

Two billion dollars translates to nine hundred and sixty billion naira, almost a trillion naira. This amount is far in excess of the combination of Anambra State budgets in almost the last 10 years. This is obviously taking fiction too far. It is preposterous. The peddlers of this rumour are not intelligent. The size of the 2021 budget is one hundred and forty billion naira, the biggest in our state’s history, while the size of the 2020 budget was one hundred and thirty seven billion naira.

The budgetary provision for the airport in the 2020 budget was eight billion naira. And the provision in the 2021 budget is fifty million naira. The 2021 financial year is far from gone and the airport is still not completed. Therefore, the budgetary provision for this year is not yet exhausted. Even if the total amount for the airport is added to that of last year, it will come to eight billion and fifty million naira. It has to be noted that there are ministries, departments and agencies, which are directly and indirectly involved in the airport development. The Ministry of Works, for example, is building roads and bridges, among others, leading to the airport and within the airport.

It may cost about fifty million dollars to complete the first phase of this grand airport which is in a class of its own. In other words, it is nothing near the almost one trillion naira which the political propagandists who hate Anambra State with a passion are bandying about.

They will leave nothing to chance in the determination to discredit the state and ruin the homeland of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Dr Alex Ekwueme, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Francis Cardinal Arinze, Professor K.O. Dike, Professor Chinua Achebe, Dr Nwafor Orizu, Sir Louis Ojukwu, Olauda Equiano and many other world-class achievers.

The State Government has made it an article of faith to limit expenditures to budgetary provisions. The result is the humungous fiscal discipline which has enabled the state to carry out projects and programmes which, as the Joint National Assembly Committee on Aviation publicly stated during its inspection of Anambra International Cargo/Passenger Airport on March 27, 2021, even richer states like petroleum-bearing ones are unable to execute.

No wonder, on August 31, 2020, BudGIT, funded by the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation, published a report showing Anambra and petroleum-rich Rivers State have the best fiscal responsibility indices of all 36 states in Nigeria plus the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja.

If not for the prudent financial management of the state’s lean resources, the airport could have cost two billion dollars. Maybe this is the amount which would have been expended on it if the project had been handled by the shadowy politicians whom the great Chinua Achebe most memorably described as “renegades who want to turn my homeland of Anambra State into a bankrupt and wretched fiefdom”.

God bless Anambra State, the Light of the Nation.
