The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has issued authority to Anambra State Government to open the international cargo and passenger airport for commercial operations with effect from 2nd December 2021. The aviation authority says that it has received security clearance from relevant security agencies for the opening. They stated that the negative security clearance was the reason the authority had declined approval for the opening of the airport on the 30th of October 2021, when the state government had scheduled the commissioning. Anambra State Commissioner for Works, Mr Marcel Ifejiofor, commended the efforts of Governor Obiano who never relented even while on vacation to ensure that the Anambra airport becomes operational ahead of the Christmas 2021 mass return of the people of Anambra living in the diaspora, and other visitors.
