The Abia State Government has begun engaging with the Nsulu clan in Isialangwa North Local Government Area regarding the proposed Abia airport project. The Chief of Staff to Governor Alex Otti, Calab Ajagba, announced this during a meeting with traditional rulers and community representatives at the palace of Eze Christopher Ebere in Umuomaita on Monday.
Ajagba explained that the government had already secured the consent of village heads for the project and presented letters from community stakeholders endorsing the airport. He emphasized that the purpose of the meeting was to inform the residents and prepare them for a forthcoming government delegation to visit each community starting December 10, 2024.
He assured the community that the governmentās intentions were genuine, highlighting the economic benefits of the airport, including job creation, improved infrastructure, and better amenities. Ajagba also dismissed protests from some women, calling them politically motivated.
Traditional rulers like Eze Christopher Ebere and Eze Patrick Anaba confirmed the government's prior communication with the people and expressed strong support for the airport. They encouraged open communication with the broader community, acknowledging the significance of the project.
Other community representatives, such as Charles Ohia and Mrs. Priscila Okugo, supported the airport plan but expressed concerns about the communication challenges within some communities. However, they reassured the government of their support for the project.
