He said the airport took only 15 months to construct with state resources, without borrowing money from any financial institution.

He said that with the take-off of the airport, the sufferings of travellers, traders, and other businessmen will be solved.

“I believe that with the commencement of commercial activities at the Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, and soon-to-be-launched 10,000 capacity Anambra International Convention Centre, Anambra state is entering a new era of economic development and prosperity,” he said.
