The Permanent Site of the Hospital is at Umudim Nnewi though shares borders with Ozubulu and Ezinifite. But can be described as one year one block imagine a project started since 2000. Though some projects within the premises have been completed including the Unizik college of Health sciences while some are at different. Stages of completion. Currently. Works are ongoing on the iinternal roads.

As for relocating from the temp site to d perm site I don't know how soon it will be 'cos a lot have to be done to enhance the landscape aesthetics!
And we had an igbo man as minister of health for a long while, yet he couldn't achieve any tangible thing for the SE.
Sometimes i just wonder how some projects that couldn't be completed during GEJ's tenure will be completed now. Even projects as small as the Zik mausoleum was left unfinished after 6years with GEJ on top despite the fact we gave him almost 100% of our votes in 2011. If Buhari's recent 95%, 5% comment is anything to go by, then i think we shouldn't expect any serious federal presence in Alaigbo for the next 4 years.
Buhari is doing everything possible to rehabilitate areas in the north ravaged by insurgency. But GEJ couldn't clean up the oil spills in the Niger delta, neither could he salvage the gully erosion sweeping the SE and SS states rather he was more concerned with pacifying the north, but they only hated him more.
A lot of things annoy me about Gej's administration. I just hope ndigbo won't repeat thesame political miscalculation we did over the last few years. The Ijaw, and other ethnic groups of the SS who we consider as brothers do not see us as same. They only agree we are related when it suits their propaganda, else, they distance themselves from us as much as they can.

The environmental agency responsible needs to start getting rid of all the accumulating sand sediments building up on the road sides....especially in the city centers! It's so annoying and takes away from the beauty of the roads!

Also, if they could remember sidewalks for pedestrians when constructing roads that would be appreciated!

The management of Anambra state owned Orient Petroleum Resources Plc yesterday said the company is targeting to increase its crude oil production to 3,000 barrels per day by September.

Orient Petroleum Resources Plc was established by the Chinwoke Mbadinuju administration at Aguleri-Otu, Anambra East local government area of the state where a large volume of oil deposits was found.

It was however commissioned officially in August of 2012 by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

But the Managing Director of the oil company, Engr. Sunny Okoye told newsmen after a meeting of its Board of Directors and Governor Willie Obiano in Awka Monday that arrangements had been concluded with an indigenous company, Nails and Stanley ltd to establish a gas plant at Umueje in Ayamelum local government area and that the company had stepped up activities in two new oil wells in its Aguleri oil fields that would shore up the company’s production capacity to 3,000 bpd before the end of September this year.

GEJ and Dr. Chukwu the former minister for health really tried because that site was an eye sore with erosion even threatening the internal access routes prior d last. Govt intervention. But what. is more worrisome is d slow pace.

After what happened to prof. Bath Nnaji and Princess Odua I believe most ministers of igbo extraction tend to slow pedal least they become d next scape goat for the North/southwest conspiracy theory gang-up!

What do we need a Cargo Airport for in Anambra State ?

Why can't the money be used to daulize most of the roads in Onitsha and Nnewi instead of embarking on another jamboree of an airport

You have made a very intelligent point, but don't expect because it is reasonable, people will reason with you. One thing Nigerians are known for is spending money on white elephant projects, while true developmental projects are abandoned or even ignored. Making Onitsha roads world class and even building a light rail to connect Onitsha to Nnewi and Onitsha to Awka is more important than 10 cargo airports. But you know our people really can't see that far. We like copying others blindly

Anambra still need a Cargo or two Airports whatever the argument!.The Airport project will be financed by the developers. Anambra contribution in the project is the Land in which the airport will be sited & the roads which will lead to the airport site in which Obiano is already doing.Let's not forget that Anambra is the only State in Nigeria with vast economic potential without a port be it Air or Sea!.The economic importance of airport in Anambra-State cannot be over emphasised!.Businesses in Onitsha, Awka & Nnewi need to be competive & to do that, you need airport or Seaport!.This will not stop Obiano in building roads & rail transport connecting Onitsha to Awka & Nnewi!

Thanks Gee for understanding me. Anytime I write against the airport Chino and Odenigbo will devour me, I will always maintain that Anambra most not do all at the same time.

I repeat Anambra State doesn't need a cargo airport for now, there is Enugu Airport two hours drive, there is Imo Airport two hours drive both international and cargo, Asaba Airport is 5mins drive from Onitsha, why shouldn't we leverage on these surrounding airports to survive instead of wasting another billions like Jigawa and others.

Use the airport money dualize industrial roads in Nnewi and Onitsha, connect Atani Rd and Uga Street with flyover across the express, connect MCC Rd and Orifite Street in Awada with another flyover so that vehicles from Awada down down will be going direct to main market.

What is the plan for Ngene and Anambra Waterfront, why not use the airport money dualize most Anambra Road and wait for when the need for airport will rise.

Anambra state is exploding populationwise and the need to improve on basic animities will always overide the need for luxuries.

Infact the need for a light rail line that will connect Nnewi with Onitsha should be the best song now instead of an airport that will be seeing few airlines.

Anambra International Cargo/Passenger Airport (AICA) is already under construction. The multiple dual carriageways to the facility is already ongoing.

The airport will not only serve as a passenger Airport but cargos and commercial sell of ATK from Orient facility which will entail that foriegn airlines will now be landing in Anambra for refuelling. Its a wonderful feat!

So budda nwanne take chill pill..na people like you fit use the airport pass us sef! LOL

What did Peter obi do? Any governor in his right onions will pay salaries obiano already alluded to this. There is no reason obiano will not pay salaries when he already increased the IGR by 100%. Amaechi was owing over 4 months salaries in Rivers state but today Wike has cleared all the salaries. Any governor that wants to perform will perform so stop deceiving yourself with this notion, as if Peter obi left hundreds of billions behind for obiano

I agree with you. Anambra needs an international airport as soon as possible. Besides the fact that the state accounts for the highest number of Private jet owners, there is money to be made here. Lets not forget that airports opens up cities. Like Ngige said during the campaign, Nke anyi bu nke anyi..
