Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, at the weekend, inaugurated the Oranto International Airport Hotel in Enugu, saying it perfectly fits into his administration’s plans to position the state as the premier destination for business, investment, tourism, and living.
This was even as business mogul and Chairman of Oranto, Arthur Eze, who recounted several disappointments and frustrations he faced in the course of the project, thanked Governor Mbah whose visible infrastructural transformation of Enugu City and subtle pressure spurred him to immediately complete the hotel.
Inaugurating the edifice, Mbah commended Prince Eze for responding to his appeal for the immediate completion and commissioning of the hotel, given its strategic import to the government’s plans to launch the Enugu Air in a matter of days, operationalize the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, and exponentially increase the number of visitors to three million per annum.
For me, this event is beyond the symbolism of cutting a ribbon. This represents a notch closer to our dream to make Enugu State the premier destination for investment, business, tourism, and living.
“Recall that in several fora, we have talked about operationalizing our International Airport. And in a few days, we are going to launch the Enugu Air.
