''In 2011, I made a promise to the people of Nigeria that every zone of
our great nation would have an international airport. A little over two
years to the day I made that promise we are witnessing the inaugural
international flight from the Akanu Ibiam International airport, Enugu.
As I said during my inaugural address, "the time for lamentation is
over; this is the era of transformation". Our rail infrastructure is
being brought back on track and expanded; our road networks are
receiving attention even as we insist on getting them wider and better.
As some of you may have noticed, the aviation sector is being overhauled
so as to make flying accessible to the average Nigerian. Let me use
this occasion to encourage all patriots to remain resolute in our
collective pursuit of development and happiness. We must make progress
together and no Citizen, no Community in our Country will be left
behind. Our determination to ensure developmental justice in ALL the
zones shall remain unshakable. GEJ''
