The Anambra State government has warned host communities to the State Cargoes and Passengers Airport, and Airport road facilities to safeguard them against vandals and thefts.

Commissioner for Works in the state, Engineer Marcel Ifejiofor, gave the warning during the commissioning of 11.4 kilometres double lane road leading to the State Cargoes and Passengers Airport, which passes from Enugu/Onitsha expressway to traverse through Awkuzu and Nteje communities in Oyi Local Government Area and Umueri community in Anambra East local government areas respectively.

Ifejiofor said it was painful how people loot and vandalise government properties at their disposal, not minding that such projects were aimed at developing the communities.

“As you can see, this road has been completed. This is an international road because it leads to an international airport. There are cables, lighting and other facilities on the road. We are appealing to the three host communities to safeguard these government properties at their disposal. Do not allow thefts to loot or vandalise them,” he maintained.

Governor Willie Obiano explained that the Anambra State Cargoes and Passengers Airport road was constructed within 11 months to an international standard, with about thirty years life span.

Obiano also hinted that the airport would soon be upgraded as it terminal building including the seven escalators have been completed, just as other facilities have been energised and improved on.
