Anambra State International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri is set to commence commercial operations soon. All facilities needed at the airport have been installed including the airport road which has been asphalted and fitted with streetlights.
Gov Obiano’s devotion to the advancement of Anambra State gave impetus to the rapid and efficient construction of the airport in a record time of 15 months. The airport which has the second-longest runway and the most modern control tower in Nigeria has become the pride of ndị Anambra.
Even more impressive is the fact that the airport project was funded wholly by the Obiano-led administration without borrowing or seeking any financial aid. Apart from the satisfaction derived from the fulfilment of a hitherto elusive promise, the benefits accruable to ndi Anambra from the airport are innumerable.
Gov Obiano is finishing strong indeed. Contrary to the perceived non-performance of Nigerian governors in their second terms in office – an unfortunate trend that has sadly become the norm – Obiano has invested more in people-oriented projects, seeking above personal gains to leave Anambra better than he met it and chart the course TOWARDS A GREATER ANAMBRA.
