The Federal Government is not qualified to declare any local airport an international airport. International airport standards are defined by IATA and ICAO. An international airport is an airport with customs and border control facilities enabling passengers to travel between countries. International airports are usually larger than domestic airports and often feature longer runways and facilities to accommodate the heavier aircraft commonly used for international and intercontinental travel. International airports often also host domestic flights, which often help feed both passengers and cargo into international ones (and vice-versa |

cjrane:This youngman...what's foreign in those pictures, infact that airport is incomplete...Willie Obiano just hurriedly commissioned that airport project so that he takes the glory which I'm not against but for heaven Sakes he should do better, even the airport entrance is completely different from the artist impression we saw in the original concept...some buildings are still undergoing construction and the landscaping leaves a lot to be desired with open drains all over. See the seats behind the counter you call foreign ..infact a whole bunch of you're just too archaic. |

[quote author= post=107209211]Not true[/quote]Is true. I have lost two jobs in Awka just because I am from Umuahia. When HE Obiano entered his first tenure, he appoint one man I helped during his campaign as commissioner, the man employee me as his secretary... Lo and behold he told me the governor reject my credentials on the ground that am from Abia state, that Abia state government drove out Anambrians from Abia state civil service. The second job I lost is NDLEA at Awka. The last commander that was transfered before this one, told me the same thing after working with them for Two weeks. He employee me as his secretary but after two weeks, he called me and said the same thing that the governor said they have more qualified Anambrians to fill in that position why must it be me? He told me he allow it because NDLEA was under Anambra state watch. |

ChEkWaSIyKe:Blame the governments of Abia and Imo. When Theodore Orji and Ohakim/Rochas were implementing that obnoxious edict we knew their myopia will sometime in the near future be repaid in full. Ever wondered why Enugu indigenes are welcomed in Anambra civil service and not those of other South Eastern States? |
