 Abia Gov. Urged To Compensate Communities For Airport Land


Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has been urged to compensate 10 communities whose lands were acquired for the construction of the state's international airport.


The airport project, which was flagged off on December 17, 2024, is being built at Nsulu in Isiala-Ngwa North Local Government Area of the state.


However, a petition made available to the Press by a legal practitioner, Simon Nwangwa, informed that the state government acquired approximately 1,350 hectares of land from the affected communities for the airport development.


The communities affected by the land acquisition include: Ubaha Nsulu, Umuosu Nsulu, Nbawsi, Ikputu Nsulu, Umuode Nsulu, Umuogu Nsulu, Umuodeche Nsulu, Umuezeukwu Nsulu, Umuezenta, and Umuala Nsulu.


According to Nwangwa, the residents of Ubaha Nsulu have suffered double jeopardy due to the land acquisition for the airport.


He emphasized that while the government had the right to acquire land for public purposes, it was crucial to engage the landowners and their representatives in open discussions to ensure they were adequately compensated.


He further stated out that Ubaha Nsulu, which had lost the most land among the host communities, was the only village that welcomed officials from both the Federal Ministry of Aviation and the Abia State Government despite the hardships they had faced.


Speaking with Newsmen, the Chief Press Secretary to the Abia State Governor, Ukoha Njoku, said the state government was committed to paying compensation to all affected communities.
