✈️ Enugu Takes Off! New Airline "Enugu Air" Begins Flights Today History is taking flight in the South-East as Enugu Air, the state’s very own airline, officially launches today, July 7, 2025. The inaugural flight takes off from Akanu Ibiam International Airport, marking a huge leap forward for regional transportation and economic development. Backed by the Enugu State Government in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Aviation, this bold move aims to improve air travel access for residents, boost tourism, and attract investment to the state. Governor Peter Mbah has been at the forefront of the initiative, describing it as part of his vision to make Enugu a commercial hub in Nigeria. He noted that the airline is not just about flying planes — it's about connecting people, businesses, and ideas. > “Enugu Air is a symbol of our ambition. We’re not just opening skies — we’re opening up opportunities,” the governor said at the flag-off ceremony. Local travelers and aviation enthusiasts have welcomed the move with excitement, saying it's long overdue for the South-East to have its own airline operating on a regional and eventually national scale. Enugu Air is expected to run commercial flights across Nigeria, with long-term plans for international routes. The airline will also focus on safety, affordability, and reliability, promising passengers a better travel experience. Why This Matters For years, residents in the region have depended heavily on airlines based in Lagos or Abuja. With Enugu Air now in the mix, travelers can expect more convenience, better pricing, and direct flights from the heart of the South-East. It's not just a win for Enugu — it’s a win for Nigeria.

Court Orders Nnamdi Kanu to Appear on Monday The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been directed to appear before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, February 10, 2025. This directive was issued through a hearing notice obtained on Friday, dated January 22, 2025, and addressed to Kanu's lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor. Earlier, Kanu had requested the transfer of his case to a Federal High Court in the South-East, expressing a lack of confidence in Justice Nyako. On September 24, 2024, during a court session, Kanu requested that Justice Nyako recuse herself from his trial. Following this, Justice Nyako recused herself and transferred the case file to Justice Tsoho. However, Justice Tsoho later returned the case file to Justice Nyako for the continuation of the trial. Kanu has maintained that Justice Nyako presiding over the case after her recusal would violate her own judicial orders. He has instructed his legal team to ensure that she refrains from handling the case. In response to the upcoming hearing, Ejimakor expressed surprise, stating that they "shall appear with bated breath." Kanu's legal team has also reiterated their request for the case to be transferred to a High Court in the South-East. In a letter dated January 30, 2025, Ejimakor applied for the transfer, arguing that Justice Nyako no longer has jurisdiction to handle the case following her recusal. He stated, "Given that no other judge in the Abuja division is willing to take the case, the only viable option is to transfer the case to any division of the Federal High Court in the South-East geopolitical zone, especially since the alleged offences have an impact in the South-East (and not Abuja)." As the hearing approaches, the legal community and the public await further developments in this high-profile case. What are your thoughts on the court's decision to proceed with Nnamdi Kanu's trial?
