The Association of Anambra Chambers of Commerce (AACCIMA) has enjoined the people of Anambra State to take the advantage of the infrastructural development of the state by Governor Willie Obiano by investing heavily in the state.
The leaders of AACCIMA disclosed this when they accompanied Obiano to inspect the airport project at Umueri, Anambra East Local Government Area. The group enjoined Anambra in diaspora to quickly bring their investments home, as the state had mapped out massive lands for investments. Speaking after the inspection, the President, Onitsha Chamber of Commerce, Sir Chris Ukachukwu, said the airport would give a great boost to commercial activities in the state.
Ukachukwu, who is also the Managing Director Rex, Industries Limited, revealed that the operation of the airport would expand the economy of the state, making Anambra financially independent. “Anambra people are known for their business. We as traders, the cargo element will help importation of goods into the state and boost business activities. Our businessmen in the diaspora can now invest at home and all these were made possible because of the Governor.”
Ukachukwu said. Also, the President, Nnewi Chamber of Commerce, Prince Jude Osumuoh, said the governor had translated the airport dream into reality. “God used Governor Obiano to attract what the people needed. We businessmen have been expecting the airport. We have suffered so well in other airports like Asaba, and Enugu. With this airport project, there is hope for Anambra State.” Osumuoh noted. Equally, the President Awka Chamber of Commerce, Pastor Nduaguba Stephen, described Obiano as God sent in the midst of difficulty.
