Rail, ferry, air transport expansion, and an urban tram network have been identified as priority projects for Anambra State under the African Development Bank (AfDB)-supported Awka City Diagnostic Study.
The priorities emerged during a strategic engagement between the Anambra State Ministry of Transport and international consultants from Acciona Engineering, Spain, who are conducting the study under the AfDB City Action Plan to guide future development interventions in the state capital and beyond.
Edward Obiefuna Ibuzo, the commissioner for Transport, said the study seeks to identify Awka’s most pressing needs and high-impact projects across transportation, infrastructure, housing, land use, environment, power, tourism, and waste management.
