A LOOK INTO THE RECENTLY COMMISSIONED ANAMBRA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
We look into the recently completed international airport in Umueri, Anambra state
Anambra Welcomed Three Demonstration Flights last day of April as Obiano Unveils New Airport on Schedule. this might be a game changer for the core eastern axis of the country. Willie Obiano deserves an applaud if it's half as good as it looks in pictures. Then it can indeed Work. As he described the facility as ‘dream come true’. He must have been dreaming on it for awhile.
A Nigerian is one of the pilot on the day, A Airpeace female pilot, Captain Nwando Phina Okpalaeke took part in the test run for three consecutive time. An update about her competence simply reads; Captian Nwando is a Computer Science graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University in Ghana. She later trained at an air school in South Africa where she was certified to fly commercial airplanesk. The Anambra International Cargo And Passenger Airport Umueri might be taking her in when operations fully kick starts.
But what's the economic implications of the airport in a place like Anambra when Enugu has a central airport that can serve the eastern axis sufficiently well, how many individuals will be flying to and fro Anambra, if we fail to analyze the percentage of its success and failures, a first hand account of the situations on ground at the event and around town isn't encouraging.
A person simply named Chikeluba gave the following account; "Coming back from Anambra Airport yesterday, I met so many traffic jam within Ifitedunu axis. I also saw how ugly our road sides are looking with ugly shops and mini markets built just by every road side. I also noticed more roads are getting bad in Anambra everyday."
"Building lockup shops by every road side shouldn't be the way to develop our road sides, it's very ugly looking. So many roads need dualization and rehabilitation in the state. Whoever will be the next governor of Anambra MUST focus more on road dualization and rehabilitation. The virgin lands surround Anambra Airport umuleri should not be left for developers to build lockup shops by the roadsides, they should all be for ultramodern development "
The correlation is that, the governor now has to fine tune the standard of the state to accommodate market for the newly test run airport. Else there's little probability the airport will function without any wrecking burden.
