It is very much needed. I remember the nite a visiting friend of mine almost couldn't get a room in any hotel on a Friday. I was pretty surprised that day. Now imagine if the ICC should hold an event like NBA conference.

The picture is the ICC in Kigali. It has a connecting structure with Radisson Blue.

It's not needed. From my hotel near Unizik Junction to the Conference Center took just 5 minutes. There are a lot of nice hotels in Awka along that expressway.

If anything, they could take 2 plots of that parking space next to the ICC and create a nice LAWN with flowers for outdoor events like weddings or parties - like Finotel does with it's own. Then it could be complimentary to the ICC.

ONE BIG MISTAKE OUR PEOPLE MAKE IS GOING NORTH TO FIND SECURITY, WHEN WE CAN BUILD AN INTEGRATED NETWORK OF SECURITY.



PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES OPERATED BY STATE WITH LICENSE AND VIGILANTE, TO EMPLOY OUR YOUTH.



PRIVATE SECURITY ON PRIVATE PROPERTIES, VIGILANTEE ON CHECKPOINTS AND PATROL.


LET THE RICH COME TO THE STATE TO COLLECT THEM, AS THEY DO POLICE AND PAY.


AT LEAST HE WILL BE WELL DOCUMENTED AND TRACED TO THEIR COMPOUND IN THE VILLAGE, WITH UMUNNA.



FUNDING FOR ESN CONTINUES INDEFINITELY.


MAINTAINABCE OF UGM.


ANYBODY THAT COME TO KILL US, MUST BE MADE TO THINK TWICE AND CONSIDER THEMSELVES ON SUICIDE MISSION.


END CULTISM ON OUR CAMPUS AND IGBOLAND.

hammerFC:
WITH THE KIND OF HIGH PROFILE EXECUTIVE, THEY ATTRACT, THE VENUE SHOULD BE HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTRE.



LOOK, SOMETHING LIKE THIS, MATCHING...



A SECOND GOLDEN TULIP.

I agree but not now. Awka ICC is still being established and has yet to have the kind of convention traffic of Kigali or Eko.

Awka can use what it has. There are already at least 20 hotels within 5 minutes of the ICC with a total of 2,000 rooms. There are four more hotels coming up from the look of things. One behind Parktonian, another near Zara Stores, another near Udoka entrance, another along Secretariat road. That stretch from Kwara junction to the ICC has Maxbe, Bon, Golphin, De Santos, Geogold, Cihcotel, Waldorf Blu, Parktonian, Finotel, Beautiful Gate, Hilton, La Luna, Cosmila, Double Bliss, Peackastel, King David, Olde English, Stamford Hotel.

The target should be high value national conferences and events of 1,000 to 3,000 attendees. If it can get 30 of these conferences a year that's 30-90,000 participants. If half of these are out of state visitors and assuming they spend $500 in food and lodging that's easily a 15-45 million dollar injection into the town and important revenue for maintaining the facility.

For the really large events like the NBA Conference these are few and far between and will require serious logistical coordination between the state government and private hotels because 10,000 attendees takes at least 200 hotel capacity.


ANSIPPA should relocate their offices to the ICC and take part of the space that was marked for banking hall or the large open spaces at the side. The ICC should be part and parcel of investment promotion in Anambra and their staff should have the capability to manage that facility and organize events as part of their brief. Being there will also allow ANSIPPA to cross market government and private sector initiatives like industrial layouts, real estate investment opportunities, etc.

I was in Awka for the AnambraInvest Summit. If you read what I wrote, I said that the state government doesn't need to build a 100 room hotel next to the ICC when lots of hotels are popping up within 5 minutes of it.

They should concentrate on marketing Awka and the ICC for high value events. It's a wonderful facility but it's underutilized.

I said that the huge space of around 5,000 sqm next to it should be divided into two. Convert about 2,000sqm space on the left of the building into a lawn with flowers for outdoor events. People could hold weddings, birthday parties there.

ANSIPPA should move into the ICC, compete the landscaping including flowers in front and trees and get their thinking caps on events to hold there.

On 7th of September

I don't know who own this new industry at the back of ICC, with Staff quarter

More from Awka ICC

Anambra is doing very well individually but soludo need to up his game

The ICC Should plant trees at that back fence to block that industry. They should also plant ornamental palm trees and flowers in front of it's front fence to make it look nice when you approach the facility.

That huge roof should be tapped for solar. You could easily put 50kw of panels there to generate 150-200kwh of solar energy daily for lighting, audio visual, office use and basic cooling.

Soludo is doing well, he is doing many projects at the same time, yesterday I noticed that the contractor handling Solution fun city have resume work, I also noticed they have started roofing the new government house, on Saturday at Awka stadium Soludo said he will soon award Ifite road to youth village and another flyover in Awka, many roads are ongoing I believe once the rain reduce we will see aggressive works across the state

We believe in Anambra and are seriously counting on Soludo. Atleast he has proven his capacity in terms of attracting investors with the ANinvestment summit. While we commend him, I wish he can dualiz Ifite road. Yes we know a lot of house and edifices hv to go down to achieve that but it's for our own good.

This also was my suggestion about two years ago when the centre was being built. That unsightly warehouse isn't in keeping with the tone of the area and i suggested the Obiano gov't either buy out the owner or they plant trees to block it from view of visitors to the centre!

Please is Soludo dualizing Ifite Road or what?.

Anambra has got all manner of Human resources. Basically Anambra won’t pay a dime to a non indigene for anything they want to do because all the resources are within and available in the state. Anambra get men

That’s a company and not necessary a warehouse and is very huge

This project should be revisited.

There is six storey hotel inside Udoka I thought it will be the tallest hotel in Awka, another person is building another tall hotel and mall simultaneously before NNPC, they're roofing the mall, while the hotel is still going up they're in sixth floor now
