Good thing Ebonyi state gov is improving on his state’s infrastructure;;with that, most Easyerners will migrate over there and free Anambra a bit...cause the population right now is on a daily increase.

ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNMENT DECLARES 3 DAY MOURNING FOR LATE ARMY CHIEF ATTAHIRU & OTHERS

1, The Anambra State Government has declared a three-day mourning period for the Chief of the Army Staff, Lt General Ibrahim Attahiru, and some other officers and soldiers who died in the plane crash of Friday, May 21, 2021, at Kaduna Airport. Consequently, Governor Willie Obiano has directed that the state flag fly at half-mast in all public facilities in Anambra State from Monday, May 25 to Wednesday, May 27, 2021.

2. The mourning is in appreciation of the role of the Nigerian Armed Forces in bringing about peace, stability and order in the country as a whole and in Anambra State in particular. Together with the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Security, Nigeria Civil Defence and Security Corps and Anambra Vigilante Group, the Armed Forces have played a huge role in making Anambra the most peaceful and the safest state in Nigeria in the last seven years, despite the security breaches of the past few months. Officers and men of the Armed Forces patrol are to this day patrolling streets, towns and villages of the state, especially troubled parts, both day and night.

3. As a result of the safe and peaceful environment, Anambra State has in the last couple of years attracted huge investments. The state has recorded investments worth between four and five billion dollars ($4-5 bn), creating products and services as well as direct and indirect employment in various sectors.

4. The people and Government have always been proud of their relationship with the Nigerian Armed Forces. We are proud that the first university graduate to join the Nigerian Army, Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, was a worthy son of the State. Despite being the son of Nigeria’s wealthiest man in the 1950s and despite obtaining a master’s degree in Modern History from Oxford University, Dim Ojukwu joined the Army as a noncommissioned officer and rose through the ranks.

5. The people and Government of Anambra State recognize that military duties are sacrificial, carried out to serve the public good. In the imitable language of the Holy Book, “no love is greater than that a man should lay down his life for the benefit of others” (John 15: 13).

6. May the soul of Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru and those of the officers and men who perished with him last Friday in the service of our motherland rest in peace.



Signed



C. Don Adinuba

Commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment.

Looks like they printed out these pictures and displayed on billboards? So that the workers will get an idea of how the final product should look like?

I think it's an excellent idea to display the images so that the workers will have a picture of what their work should look like when completed.

Saw the response to my question yesterday about the narrowness of the body of water adjoining Nkisi GRA. Can now see the land on the other side is part of the island in the middle of the Niger.

Anyone know which state owns it? It looks massive and could be used as a nature reserve or park where families can go to chill. I don’t think building up the area with more real estate is a good idea though.

Anambra international airport is the single biggest state- built infrastructural development in SE the since 1999.

Anambra international airport is the international gateway to the eastern Nigeria.

Can someone make a loud cry

Omanambala:


The manner which you refer to the airport as is very disrespectful. This is an airport the state singlehandedly built without borrowing. I think we can give Willie a break for a second.

By the way , that airport is very sexy. We don't need a white elephant project that not only is beyond the means of the state but will take another 4yrs to complete. I am actually satisfied with the quality and pace , though I didn't support the idea of an airport in the beginning.

Yes , it a very decent airport. Exactly what Anambra needs without emptying our pockets.

SN: I need an Anambra inspired art work interiors. From paintings to sculptures all Anambra inspired. We can even make a little art museum out of that airport and show the richness of our culture. I look forward to seeing an Ijele painting greeting the walls.

Anambra State needs Wider roads very urgent!.
--- Onitsha= 4
---Nnewi== 2
---Awka= 4
---Ekwulobia= 1
---Ihiala= 1
---Nkpor/Nnobi---1
---Ezeiweka Obosi= 1
----Atani Road= 1
----33 road to Aguleri=1
---Nnewi to Awka= 1
---Obosi bye pass to Nkpor( 6 lanes)
----Limca road( 6 lanes)
---- St Peter's Road Ugwuagba Obosi to Motor sparse Parts Market (6 lanes) This will help to decongest the Onitsha Owerri road.
Some of these roads needs to be expanded into 4 or even 6 lanes with the next 2 to 4 years unless there will be dreadlocks in the economy!.
A budget of between 30 to 70 billion Naira will go a long way in improving the road infrastructure in Anambra state.
ROADS BUILD ECONOMY AND NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!.... Economy does not build roads!!!!. Ekenemu unu!!!

ChimaAdeoye:


Rebuilding and expansion of the roads are just 25% of the problem. 75% of the problem is that the people don't understand the rules and regulations around the prohibition of parking on state roads, stopping vehicles in unapproved locations, and building illegal street shops/kiosks/shanties over drainage channels to quite literally trade on the street! This thing must be enforced so that people learn that it is actually illegal to block the road with their wares or vehicle.

Illegal street parking is more of Anambra's urgent road traffic and road safety problem! The culture of parking on major roads is part of the huge road problem in Anambra state. There is no enforcement of the law prohibiting the parking of vehicles on all Trunk A and Trunk B roads (i.e State and federal highways). In other countries of the world, you can only park vehicles on Local Government roads (Side streets). Even at that, it has to be within a defined space and a certain distance from the curb so that you don't impede the flow of traffic on such streets. These laws are not enforced in Nigeria particularly in Onitsha, Nnewi, and Aba. Even the expressway was used as a truck and disused caterpillar park until Obiano started towing their broken-down trucks and caterpillars away at Nkpor and making them pay huge fines before they are released. Thus, the huge traffic at the Nkpor area of the expressway disappeared.

While I totally agree with you that Anambra needs wider roads (Which may be impossible now without widespread demolitions), we must first enforce the parking laws as a normal country. Then deal with street traders who display their wares on the road. Unless the right of way rules are enforced, even if you build a 10 lane expressway, people will still block them eventually with markets and parked broken down vehicles because nobody stops them from breaking the law.

mktinsight:

Tell dem. Planning seems to be an alien concept in Nigeria but for Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi growing at over 5% per year, road infrastructure is supposed to expand accordingly. If there are 500 roads in Onitsga govt is supposed to build and tar 25 a year. But in 8 years of Obiano he has built less than 10 roads in Awka not the 120 roads expected.

Nice suggestions here...


I would like to add that those roads should be constructed to 21st Cent. standard like some districts roads in Abuja (like major inner roads in places like maitama, katampe, Guzape etc) those roads have solid built kerbs, underground drainage that is free (you could be walking on a walkway and hearing the sounds of runny water through manholes), wide pedestrian walkways with verdant space separating the kerb from the main walkway (those verdant space have lush green grace and sometimes ornamental trees growing in between)...


I just want our governors in the east to move away from the 'Old Normal' of city roads construction where the build major inner city roads with open drainages and slime pedestrian ways to the 'New Normal' of city roads construction using the Abuja district roads as template for now.

Dalu!

Omanambala:


I think the problem with you is your delivery. You sound like almost like Anambra disgust you , and this will make these proud people detest you. Ndi Anambra are very proud and if you try to denigrate their home state they will eat you alive.

The manner which you refer to the airport as is very disrespectful. This is an airport the state singlehandedly built without borrowing. I think we can give Willie a break for a second.

This is where the state could have used the services of the world renowned sculptor and painter from the state....talking of Ben Enwonwu. He could have been commissioned to produce a eye-catching painting or sculptor that could be strategically placed in the arrival hall. However, the state still has Njikeka Akunyili.

First pic shows Her Majesty pointing out something to Ben Enwonwu......last one shows one of his masterpieces.

OriakuAmara:
The next Anambra be it Soludo or Maduka should focus on aggressive Urban renewal policies in Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi.
Anambra need a serenity of well built roads with closed drainages, flower trees, greenish trimmed landscapes etc
The onitsha I saw last two weeks left a depressing taste in my mouth.
The next governor must be a lover of urban planning.
Kudos though to obiano for the airport.

“Well, according to Ifeanyi Obike, with information he shared through his LinkedIn, Obike Air’s peers are British Airways, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, and Virgin Atlantic – which is quite ambitious for a start-up airline.

The details are still limited as of now, but Obike Air is looking for investors and partners “from the private and public sectors from around the world to join this mission.”
