One good thing about a conference center in Anambra is that at least you can hold a lot of key events for the South-East and actually draw a lot of visitors for these reasons:

1) Anambra is the gateway to the SE with the iconic Niger Bridge and upcoming Second Niger Bridge.

2) Awka is central in the SE being 45 minutes from Onitsha. 1.5 hours from Owerri, 1 hour from Enugu, 1 hour from Asaba.

3) Onitsha is the distribution center of the SE and has the largest number of markets and could host a lot of trade exhibitions in a modern setting

4) Anambra is the political capital of the South-East (sorry Enugu) and a 10,000 capacity Conference hall can host major political conventions

5) For the first time, Anambra will be able to host the large national associations - National Bar Association, National manufacturing Association, National Medical Association, etc. when before it didnt have the capacity to do so.

6) Anambra will be able to host International university Conferences of stature such as the African Movie Awards, Music Awards, Business Events, etc.

7) Anambra for the first time will be able to host big-ticket weddings and events.


If the Awka ICC is able to draw at least 100,000 guests a year with average spending of 30,000 that is revenue of 3 billion. It will help the state owned Agulu Lake Hotel and other hotels will create jobs for taxi drivers, caterers and food vendors, waiters and waitresses, publishing and advertizing companies, telecom providers and shopping outlets.

It will market the state as a major business destination and increase the flow of investment from companies setting up shop in the state. More investment will create more jobs for graduates coming out of the universities in the state.

If the Awka ICC is able to draw at least 100,000 guests a year with average spending of 50,000 that is an inflow of 5 billion. It will help the state owned Agulu Lake Hotel and other hotels will create jobs for taxi drivers, caterers and food vendors, waiters and waitresses, publishing and advertizing companies, telecom providers and shopping outlets.

More importanlty It will market the state as a major business destination and increase the flow of investment into the state. More investment will increase land values, real estate development, create more jobs for graduates coming out of the universities in the state and so on and so forth.

He did not refute that Peter Obi left the money but he is adamant that Peter Obi left unfinished projects which Obiano was saddled with. As long as the money is used for what it was meant for, thats what matters

Anambra state need total physical and urban renewal. I was in Anambra for a week, going between onitsha and awka, throughout my stay, I observed that the roads built by the state government in awka does conform with acceptable quality which also includes the bridge. It is as if our governor lacks taste.In fact awka is just an advance village. How can a state like Anambra can't develop to become a city especially awka? We have changed about 4 governors since the Advent of democracy, none of the governors took it upon himself to redesign the capital to fit into contemporary time.
Another thing is the issue of market springing up here and there without control. It is of a truth that we are known for trading, but we need to follow city master plan. How can you cite building material market along a major road? Who approved such a plan? I saw another market ikemba international market about being built along enugu onitsha expressway, and I asked why that place? Why is the govt not doing something about onitsha market where almost all roads leading to the market are all dilapidated. Is the govt against road dualisation ? Why all this tiny single lane road all built by the govt? Who are our representatives at federal level that can't lobby for the road construction from onitsha to enugu to have side walks and covered drainage since it would go through the state capital just like it is being done in Lagos ibadan expressway.
