Rail, water and air transport expansion as well as 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.
Elisa Mussolettini, the team leader and urban planner described transportation as a key driver of economic growth and urban development.
She said the engagement was designed to assess mobility challenges, infrastructure gaps, and investment opportunities to support long-term growth in Anambra.
