Anambra state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, accompanied by some members of the state executive council and other guests was on hand to witness the history making landing, and excitedly shook the hands of the passengers as they alighted from the aircraft.

Mr Anselm Tabansi, a Lagos based businessman who was on the flight praised Governor Willie Obiano for his determination and successful delivery of the airport, saying that it has made life a lot easier especially for regular visitors to the state. “The airport made me proud to be from Anambra state. It will boost social and economic activities in the state”, Mr Tabansi concluded.
