latest updates of works at the new Anambra int'l airport.

This clip shows best just how massive the airport is going to be, and also shows another construction besides the control tower and terminal we're used to seeing. I'm impressed with what's shown so far.....the level/quality of work done. You can tell by watching just how solid the taxiway/apron is, but i doubt if they can finish this by april! There's still a lot more work left to be done!

PROUDIGBO:
The gov't should do up the approach road to the airport well.....at least 4 lanes, with trees on either side and carpet grass on the verges. Also, land on either side of the airport road should be reserved for hotels, conference centres, office blocks and aviation logistics and related coys!

The bolded is so critically important i had to re-emphasize it in this post. I could not visit the airport during my last visit, but i drove past Umuleri/Nteje area. The area is becoming another Onitsha with lots of commercial shops and residential houses coming up. In southeast Asian countries, the heart beat of their economies are their airport cities. The proper use of the areas around the airport determine so much more than local business people using it.

Apart from supporting business and logistics in the entire region, the airport has the potential to massively improve tourism in the region. Hopefully, the state government can sign an MOU with a reputable company like those doing the Awka Millennium city and Onitsha Luxury place to regulate the development around the airport city project, to ensure optimum value of the location for the state. Five star hotels, true shopping malls (Not supermarkets we call malls in Nigeria), residential buildings/ activities, high rise office complexes that will eventually be rented by banks, airlines etc, and other recreational outdoor facilities as amusement parks should be reserved in the area. The area being half way between Awka and Onitsha should be purpose planned and developed as the heart beat of the state.

Once the land around the airport is allowed to be built up with shops and stores like Onitsha, it becomes very difficult to develop what was intended by demolishing structures. Thus, now is the time to ensure the area is secured away from land prospectors whose central strategy is simply to build an open market of lock-up shops there as they do in every other location.

This is the difference between a mediocre airport built in government house Agu Awka and one planned. The access road to all major airports built by FAAN are three lanes. The question is where is the three lane road from Awka or Onitsha expressway to the Umuleri airport?

About planning, state roads are by design supposed to be dual lane or at least there should be enough road reserve to eventually build such but not in Anambra and many Eastern states.

This mad dog! I have told an ediot like you to stop quoting me. your time will be used better for your state. To begin with, the airport has 3 main access roads. Two are dual carriage ways. The first and the main one starts at Nteje onthe Enugu-Onitsha expressway, the second is another dual carriage way leading to the airport from the Awkuzu - Umueri road, and the third access road is the short cut to Onitsha on the Nsugbe - Agulari road (33 / Nkisi) road

Which "Three lanes did FAAN build for Enugu, Port Harcourt or Owerri airports? It took pleading from Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo and Igbo leaders before Babangida dualized the access road to Enugu International airport. The road to Port Harcourt International airport Omagba was just recently dualized by the Rivers state government under Rotimi Amaechi. The Sam Mbakwe access road has still not bee dualized till date!

You are a lying baboon. None of the access roads to umuleri are dual carriageways. There is a video of Nedmedia accessing the airport site from Awkuzu junction. The Awkuzu-Nteje road is a single lane road. Go and get your eyesight examined and your brain too.

GitmoAuditors:
Very good update. Anambra international airport we can't wait to start landing and flying out from here. Anambra leads.

I stopped watching this video when the narrator claimed that Calabar airport is busier and more viable than Owerri airport. Even if you're not informed about airport traffic in Nigeria, why not Google it instead of making a mockery of yourself. You even mentioned Owerri airport and sighed, like it was some crap.

Dude, a simple Google search should have informed you that Owerri airport is by far the fourth busiest in Nigeria, after Lagos, Abuja and P.H in that order. The Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri recorded 47,000 passengers in one month while Calabar airport you ranked above it could manage just 12,000!

If only Imo State governors have been up and doing, and fixed Owerri's roads, the city would have been among the most beautiful in Nigeria. However, that doesn't mean people, especially our fellow Igbos would always try to put it down unnecessarily.

Rubbish!!

ALL OBIANO NEED TO DO IS MAKE THAT AIRPORT ROAD TEN LANE EXPRESS WAY.



10 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER.




NO POINT DOING 6 LANES, THEN IN A COUPLE OF YEARS WE START TALKING EXPANSION.




DO 10 LANES NOW AND LET US MOVE ON
