Let me thank Mr. President for considering my state for the airstrip which was captured in the Federal Government of Nigeria budget: “A Federal Government team from the Ministry of Aviation has visited Abia State to inspect a proposed site for a new airport planned for the State.“ Also, I commend Mr. Governor for his decision to upgrade that airstrip to an airport. The money the federal government is bringing is substantial and with a little the state will add, we can make this happen.
This airport does not diminish the planned railway and road networks which the state is working on. But on this airport, provided the federal government is bringing the federal Naira, Abia will get an airport from it. Mr. President, we want more!
The Imo airport is more than 2.5 hours from Ovim. The one in Enugu is even farther. Then the one in PHC is way off there. Abia needs one that can connect all Abians within an hour. That is part of the equation.
