I fail to understand what this fixation with airport and its completion under 24 months is all about if not pure and unbridled mischief.
In my opinion,providing gas infrastructure and master plan to link all the industrial estates in the East and Asaba tops the agenda.It will birth an industrial revolution unheard of anywhere because it will also lead to establishment of microgrids and micro thermal stations in industrial clusters (Habour industrial estate,Emene industrial estste,Uru Industrial estate Nnewi,Ozubulu Industrial estate etc) with long term positive domino effects. While i do not know if such services is still in the exclusive lists or part of the deregulated elements,it is still my candid opinion that all the big Igbo players in oil industry pursue it as a partnership project and by that i mean (Seplat of Uju Ifejika, Tecon Oil of Ome Ifeukwu Ihiala,Nestoil of Obijackson,Oronto Oil and Gas of Arthur Eze,Captain Iheanacho's integrated oil and Gas and a host of others. I wish such can be done with a view to building an enduring regional economy. Dr Maduka's 12 storey hospital will turn around health tourism in another decade to Umuchuwku if he equips his hospital to international standards. Such gestures can be replicated with equally positive results in other sectors and these things are doable. Are we even aware that one of the executive directors of Ford Motors is a Nigerian? Plenty more abound. Only and if only governance will be run like a business in Nigeria and Igbo land in particular and not a money sharing assembly.

anambra state supposed to have their own international airport not warri or asaba airport Anambra supposed to have her own international airport because as anambra have city like onitsha nnewi and awka anambra supposed to have her own international airport

Ogbuefi2020:

The big question is, who is stopping them?

ignatiusez:



Always in the pipeline you mean? Please keep deceiving yourself and not us, after 5 years, no tangible project initiated, completed and commissioned by this government and you are saying pipeline? Well done brother. Those that know will know.......

ignatiusez:


Thank you brother but you haven't responded to my comments. I also noticed that this administration's e worriors are uncouth and acerbic in there utterances since they clearly have nothing as evidence of their principal's achievements and giant strides.

nnamdijonathan:


no, don't take things that way, that oneast guy you quoted is a very lousy and rude person, not all obiano supporters behave like that guy.

NonsoWow:
Even if Obiano doesn't deliver the Anambra airport, his successor will. All the capital flight that anambra is losing to a lack of airport will eventually cease. Anambra airport will choke that overrated enugu airport to coma.

Ogbuefi2020:

Same anambra chestbeaters boasted that Lagos airport will be overrun by weed if the east gets an international airport. You all are comedians. Truth is, Anambra is a poor state and lack the resources to build any airport

NonsoWow:
Even if Obiano doesn't deliver the Anambra airport, his successor will. All the capital flight that anambra is losing to a lack of airport will eventually cease. Anambra airport will choke that overrated enugu airport to coma.

deboysben:
Posting it to the government notice to see the extent it have reached

This is as much a catastrophe as the drying up of Lake Chad that Buhari is so passionate about and discusses with heads of gov'ts and world financial institutions as he looks for funds and partners to tackle the problem. However, this is where the similarity ends as the erosion menace in Anambra gets no more intervention from the federal gov't than the token gesture given by the relevant federal agency concerned.

Just google Buhari and the drying up of Lake Chad and i'm sure you get enough reading material to engage you till tomorrow!

I hope you can all now begin to appreciate why i despise this country Nigeria! We're in Nigeria but don't seem to be part of it!

Anambra Girl, Tochukwu Anyigbo Among Bronze Winning Team Nigeria At The First Global Robotics Challenge In Mexico

By Uche Nworah

Anambra - born Tochukwu Anyigbo from Ihiala is among the bronze winning Team Nigeria which scored in the top 40% of total teams, and won two bronze medals at the First Global Robotics Challenge which held in Mexico. A total of 161 teams (countries) participated.

The team won in the Outstanding Supporter and International Journey categories and comprised of five secondary school students schooling in Lagos state.

Team Nigeria, made up of four girls and a boy were selected after a competitive process that held on April 28, 2018 at the Syrian Club.

The students are Anjolaoluwa Olowokere (Lagoon School), Tochukwu Anyigbo (Lagoon School), Daberechi Onyeacholem (Green Springs, Lekki), Udodirim Iroaganachi (Queen’s College), and Samuel Ikenna Mbah (Osezele Secondary School).

Over a period of three and half months, they were coached on teamwork, commitment, problem solving, and critical thinking.

This year’s Global Robotic Challenge focussed on Energy Impact. Students had to build a robot that simulated providing energy using four energy sources: Solar, Wind Turbine, Combustion Plant, and Fuel Cubes. In addition, they were grouped with teams from two other countries forming a team of three on either side. In the process they had to strategize and plan with students on their teams from other countries learning the art of diplomacy, public speaking, and respect for other’s opinion. The students also learned about various sources of alternative energy.

Mrs. Remi Willoughby of Alofos Science & Technology Foundation which helped prepare Team Nigeria said; “the team visited the Egbin Power Plant in Ikorodu to understand our country’s source of energy, and they were able to reflect on how we can improve energy source in Nigeria”. Continuing, she said that, “while In Mexico they made friends with students from across the globe learning different cultures and even picking up a few words in other languages. This was a chance of a lifetime”.

Mrs Willoughby thanked His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano, Governor of Anambra State on behalf of Association of STEM Educators in Nigeria for the moral and financial support to the team, concluding that the team’s success was “made possible by His Excellency’s donation towards our team’s fundraising goal. His donation made our journey very smooth, and we were able to secure visas without incident”.

Speaking exclusively with Anambra Broadcasting Service, Mr Jude Anyigbo, the father of 16-year old Tochukwu Anyigbo said he is grateful to God and very proud of his daughter and Team Nigeria for their achievements, considering the hard work and sacrifice that went into the preparation even while preparing for the 3rd term exams.

According to him, “Tochukwu is good in Arts and Sciences. She is the Labour prefect of Lagoon school, We are exposing her to all possibilities to let her make her career choice”.

He also thanked Governor Willie Obiano and the state government for co-sponsoring the team.
