It will be a good thing if Soludo will complete the airport as Obiano did, otherwise a lot of questions must be answered. Obiano knew airport construction was not a tea party so he went there every week with teams of invited people including traditional rulers, the clergy and even Burutai and showed videos proving he was serious about completing the project. Soludo has not shown any of that level of seriousness or transparency

It is very very clear that Soludo and his urchins want to use the airport as a smokescreen to loot. If work were indeed going on, he would have been sharing the pictures the way he did during the Awka to Ekwulobia road. But aside from showing caterpillars clearing a small piece of land that isn’t up to 100 meters squared, there is no picture of anything.

Making speeches with very little achievement is Soludo’s style. If Soludo had completed key projects he started like the Awka ICC hotel, then there would be no fears that he also plans to abandon this airfield after purportedly squandering billions in it. Even the Enugu ICC hotel is already more than 80 percent completed, yet it started many months after Soludo’s Awka ICC hotel foundation was completed.

Soludo’s style of talk talk talk with very little real achievement is very worrisome. After a lot of talk, he quietly abandons the project and shifts to another one. When people raise concern about this lack of focus, he calls on jobless hoodlums like Chino to insult them. Well the jobless Chino knows from my history here that I neither respond to him nor change my opinion due to his insults.

All I can say is that if it is an airport in Aguata that Soludo thinks is the most strategic developmental project he could do, then he should do it and ensure it is at least of Obiano’s airport standard and with at least 3.5km runway to accommodate wide bodied cargo planes. If he abandons that project after spending state resources there as he abandoned the Anambra ICC 5-star hotel, my lawyers will personally submit an EFCC petition for a full investigation into this strange airport project, and proper punishment to be dished for wholesale financial indiscipline.

I think your assessment of Soludo is rather harsh! He has been able to complete over 95% of projects he embarks on! Maybe even higher..............for me, my pet peeve where Soludo is concerns his inability to establish lasting institutions.......... It's rather annoying that we still do not have an active waste evacuation agency,,,,,,, where are the tax agency........signage agency..........even Ansippa has been buried alive!

However, as far as completion of projects, he has done well!

Cjrane2:
I agree that Soludo has done well on roads development.

I thought it was due to the financial burden of the roads that he could not complete the other projects he started in his first term such as the Anambra ICC hotel.

What is annoying is that everything is about what is reigning and not what is crucial for the state’s development. For instance Anambra’s airport in Oba was abandoned since 1982. Anambra’s economic and industrial growth was stunted due to lack of airport until Asaba and later Umueri airports were built recently. All of a sudden the reigning thing now is airport, airport, airport! While we still have so many other highly critical areas where we are lagging behind.

Part of the reason I supported Soludo was because I hoped he would reason like a well-seasoned professor and not a local trader. How is it possible that a whole professsor of economics would reason that even if Anambra needs 5 airports by 2070, we must build all of them all at once, without first developing our industrial base that would make the economy which requires 5 airports possible? It is simply called the “Theory of Comparative Cost” which Soludo himself must have taught his students. It simply means, use your advantages to develop your economy.

Now Anambra sits on vast deposit of natural gas that can easily be used to produce electricity, petrochemical companies, fertilizer companies to boost agricultural production to power that future which would require 5 Airports. When Soludo spoke about stopping Anambra being a “departure lounge” and creating jobs in Anambra to keep its youths from running abroad, I thought he must have figured a good strategy to use the massive gas deposits in the state to support petrochemical companies setting up in Anambra.

Globally, countries are plotting how to pipe Nigerian gas to Europe or elsewhere so they can build more power plants, fertilizer plants and petrochemical factories to support their industrialization and economic growth. Anambra sits on a massive gas deposit, does not need to pipe anybody’s gas to Anambra to support industrial growth. But instead of thinking how we can bring in companies to set up in Anambra and use our gas to fuel prosperity, we are fixated on building airports that we neither need nor really even have enough funds to build very good ones that airlines would prefer to use the new airport compared to the currrently existing ones. It is a case of putting the cart before the horse that I didn’t expect a sound mind like Soludo would end up reasoning like the usual dumb politicians in Nigeria and Africa that made Africa the richest continent in resources, yet has the poorest people.

But aside from showing caterpillars clearing a small piece of land that isn’t up to 100 meters squared, there is no picture of anything.

Making long speeches with very little achievement is Soludo’s style. If Soludo had completed all his key projects he started 4 years ago, like the Awka ICC hotel, then there would be no current fears that he also plans to abandon this airfield after purportedly squandering billions in it. Even the Enugu ICC hotel is already nearing completion, yet it started many months after Soludo’s Awka ICC hotel foundation piling was completed. Even the jinxed Presidential Hotel Enugu has since been completed. Unlike Soludo, Peter Mbah has a quiet discipline of focusing, giving less empty talks and completing his projects to show he has a strategic vision of where he is taking his state. Unlike Soludo’s trial and error style of starting one big talk about a project today, hype it to high heaven’s, and quietly abandoning it tomorrow. Then quickly jumps into another empty talk about something else.

Soludo’s style of talk talk talk with very little real achievement is very very worrisome. After a lot of talk, he quietly abandons the project and shifts to another one. When people raise concern about this lack of focus, he calls on jobless hoodlums like Chino to insult them. Well the jobless Chino knows from my history here that I neither respond to him nor change my opinion due to his insults. I am glad that Soludo has recently gone back to reconstructing main market after months that we feared he had abandoned that one too, after all the long talk talk talk and 3D pictures. We are fervently praying that the final structure of the Onitsha main market resembles the 3D drawings he boasted would be the new Onitsha main market.

All I can say is that if it is an airport in Aguata that Soludo thinks is the most strategic developmental project he could do, then he should do it and ensure it is at least of Obiano’s airport standard, with at least 3.5km runway to accommodate wide bodied cargo planes.

I also expected better of Soludo. He lived snd worked overseas. He even lived in Ethiopia which has seen much more rapid development than Nigeria bevause they have a brainy and patriotic leadership.

What does Anambra need? Its a no brainer. Valuable jobs. Sitting in front of a 10x10 shop is not sophistication. We boast markets left and right, up and down but how many things we sell do we produce?

Soludo knows this. And if he visited the Ethiopia he worked in years ago he would have seen what they did at Hawassa and several other massive industrial layouts built. The Ethiopian government prioritized manufacturing. Hawassa Industrial layout alone employs 100,000 people.

The key difference is that the Ethiopians were smart enough to seek Chinese assistance after all who knows manufacturing more than the Chinese? The Chinese government helped them design and build 12 industrial layouts.

But in Anambra? We have ITK in Anambra govt none of whom have built industrial layouts in their life now busy designing an "aerotropolis" without feasibility study, environmental assessment or open competitive tendering. They look at Google map draw distance arrows and say airport should be built because its necessary. Meanwhile all those industrial layouts in Ethiopia none were built with airports.

Soludo should take a lesson from Obi who while calling himself a mere trader, focused on priorities. He secured the airport land but prioritized key roads in the state and refurbishing Harbor Industrial Layout. Soludo made fun of Intafact (Hero beer) but he should show which private company he has attracted on that scale to Anambra to date.

The measure of a man's greatness is not his mouth but his actions. What will he be remembered for? Light House Anambra while Jerome Udoji Secretariat where the mass of workers are has no light and is poorly maintained? A six lane road with palm trees to new government house while the road to the House of Assembly and High Court behind Ekwueme Square is riddled with potholes? A stadium he spent billions to construct an imposing entry gate and interlock paving while the artificial turf football pitch built by Monimichelle with FIFA grant is falling apart? Or is it Amaku where they built a trauma center in a complex that has no centrao water reticulation system, steady power or sophisticated life saving equipment?

I hope Soludo will separate himself from the well known tendency of Nigeria to produce useless leaders that play to the gallery and step up his game.

Governor soludo really tried in developing anambra state, kudos to him

Does anyone know why the Anambra ICC hotel was abandoned?

I just googled the Enugu ICC hotel and you can clearly tell that their governor truly has a sound vision for taking the state to its glorious future. With that hotel and Hotel Presidential, Landmark Nike Lake hotel , and scaling their Enugu Air airlines to ply international routes, you can clearly see how Enugu is becoming a world class hospitality hub.

maiunguwar:
The Anambra ICC and many other capital intensive projects will be sacrificed for the second airport. The total Anambra budget for the fiscal year is around #750B. The body language of the prof.governor is pointing towards the second airport as his priority project,he doesn't have much time and the resources for other projects.

OreMI22:
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

I sincerely hope this information is incorrect. How could another major project, with the potential to firmly position Anambra on the international tourism map, be shelved in favour of a less consequential audio airport project?

Despite the criticisms levelled against former Governor Willie Obiano, one must acknowledge that he completed several projects outside his hometown that he did not initiate, including the Agulu Hotel and the Onitsha Mall. He also completed several landmark projects started by his administration, including the Awka flyovers, the stadium, the International Convention Centre (ICC), and the airport. Although his administration was widely criticised for its poor interventions in the road sector, it nevertheless succeeded in installing streetlights along major roads across Anambra State.

The principle is simple: to whom much is given, much is expected. I sincerely hope Governor Soludo will rise to the occasion. With the significant improvement in FAAC allocations and the additional 13 percent derivation revenue from oil, it should be possible for his administration to pursue the airport project while simultaneously completing other critical legacy projects, as his counterparts in Enugu and Abia have done.

At the moment, however, Anambra risks resembling the kind of administration associated with Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's tenure, one that appeared reluctant to complete major projects inherited from its predecessor while leaving relatively few distinctive legacy projects of its own, apart from road expansion and related infrastructure.

Governor Soludo has an opportunity to avoid that trajectory. His administration should, strive to balance the pursuit of new flagship projects with the completion and consolidation of strategically important projects already underway. That would not only ensure continuity in governance but also strengthen Anambra's position as a competitive destination for investment, tourism, and international business.

What's the value of a hotel next to a Conference Center that doesnt host up to 5 large events a year?

The Anambra government should focus on priorities and not projects for show. The focus should be public BUS transport, education and power.

TRANSPORT

This government should be ashamed people are still squeezing into keke in the name of transport.

Buy EV large buses and run routes at least in Awka and inter state such as Ekwulobia- Amawbia to Onitsha, Awka - Nnewi - Onitsha and Awka to Onitsha.

EDUCATION

Half of the population of the state are under 18. Its not just about hiring teachers but providing the RIGHT education. Anambra schools need recreational sports facilities and vocational skills training.

POWER

I have said that we go nowhere with expanding power. It needs a comprehensive intervention to quadruple the amount of electricity generated.

I am beginning to doubt this Patrick Mba miracle in Enugu........Soludo has been more frugal, and it seems that Anambra State has a far more developed maintenance culture......abeg, Soludo is trying too!

5 years down the line, Chinua Achebe Airport and even the Ekwulobia Park and Market are still in remarkably good condition! Anambra rocks!

You are comparing apples with Oranges.

What I see in that video is common sense sabotaged by poor management. But the essence is this. Enugu understood that the bus transport system moves hundreds of thousands of people a day and decided to organize and modernize it.

Now show me a single large central bus terminal Anambra has built. We havent even started. Our solution is primitive parks for keke and aerotropolis. God who did this to us?

Enugu has a nice bus terminal run badly but contrast with the one run by Governor Otti of Abia. That man does three things right. He knows how to prioritize, how to build and who to appoint to operate it. This is the difference in approach between a lecturer like Soludo, a primitive businessman like Mbah and a corporate CEO.

The summary of this video proves that Soludo is right! You need to plan for years to achieve your development goals. A second airport in Anambra is a near-must if the opportunity is not to close in a few years! So far, the River Niger is not dredged, and a rail line to Lagos is not built... we are effectively landlocked from the global economy!

We need to think more strategically in Anambra and avoid being unnecessarily emotive. If a tiny Uli airfield could keep a landlocked and besieged Biafra in the battle for 2 years .........who says an Aerotropolis will not be a game changer for Anambra's economy................... China is being besieged by a floundering US empire..........the Western powers want to control and constrain the Chinese export sea lanes.........China is searching for outlets to release this pressure...................if we can position the aerotropolis well, we can attract the Chinese to use that second airport in Ndikelionwu as a distribution hub for Eastern Nigeria and as far East as Congo!

However, we have to build out the infrastructure first.......Indiana lives by that dictum: ' build it, and they will come'! We have to think out of the box and take risks or else our adversaries in western Nigeria will overwhelm us completely!


I live in Indianapolis and I am a witness to how effective planning can transform an economy in less than half a generation!

Eboofa:
I submit you are totally wrong! Where are you going to build a large modern bus terminal like the one in Enugu in a congested town like Onitsha or even nnewi! I await an honest answer from you! I lived in Nnewi and worked in Onitsha in the heady days of the GSM base station build-out........... I know these areas rather well ! I know the seemingly arrogant and headstrong posture of the average Igbo trader based in these towns!

I feel for Soludo honestly........Now I know why he reserved his heavy hammer till his second term! To make omelette you need to break eggs! If you are current with the news, you should know there has been a heavy reign of demolitions in Onitsha .......in fact, the demolition in Nnewi is even more widespread!

We need to restore Nnewi's setback for the much-requested walkways. A dumpsite is currently being cleared for a modern bus terminal in Nnewi... let us cut Soludo some slack, bikonu!

Our people make governance a bit difficult sometimes!

abuzz33:
A bus terminal doesnt have to be in the downtown. There is lots of land at the outskirts of Nnewi, Awka and Onitsha. Even if there isn't nothing stops the state government from relocating markets out of the center and replacing ig with central bus parks. Relocate Nkeo Nnewi, the drugs market in Onitsha and Eke Awka.
