The second anniversary of Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport, Umueri was celebrated with a special dimension.
A statement by the Anambra State Commissioner for Information Sir. Paul Nwosu states that ever since Governor Chukwuma Soludo renamed the erstwhile Anambra Airport at Umueri to Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport during the 63rd Nigerian Independence Anniversary, the fledgling airport has soared into the stratosphere.
It notes that a name truly matters as Chinua Achebe, who Governor Soludo described as an African and global hero has bequeathed the ultra-modern airport a commanding name to fly high with.
According to the statement, in this second anniversary of the airport, Achebe’s global clout is already bringing dividends.
The statement has it that governor Soludo’s vision of making Anambra State a destination of choice instead of a departure lounge has an ennobling emblem in Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport and the export-oriented economy that Governor Soludo is knitting together has a solid support base in the crowd-pulling airport.
It states that the Export Emporium being put in place by Governor Soludo is destined to soar into the orbit.
The Ikenga Mixed-Use Industrial City Masterplan Development signed with the President of Mahindra Consulting Engineers Limited is a great leap forward, moreover Anambra Intra-City Rail has been signed with the senior executives of CPCS Canada that had undertaken five jobs in Nigeria through varying stages, from design to execution.
The delivery of the Anambra Intra-City Rail will connect Awka, Ekwulobia, Nnewi and Onitsha and the binding hub is of course Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport.
The statement has it that governor Soludo has through personal example shown that no nook and cranny of Anambra State would be left out in the general development of the State as he had damned all the risks to undertake a trip by boat, keke and okada to the remote island of Olumbanasa where no former Anambra State Governor had ever gone to before.
From the airport, to the well over four hundred kilometres of contracted roads and the tributaries of rivers, development is ongoing everywhere.
In marking the auspicious occasion of the second anniversary of the Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport, it is equally crucial to celebrate the coming to fruition of Governor Soludo’s drive to turn Anambra State into a liveable and prosperous homeland that will be a destination point.
