It was jubilation galore in Enugu, eastern Nigeria on Saturday as the first international flight from Akanu Ibiam Airport took off to Addis Ababa at 2.20 p.m, with 153 passengers on board.
The flight was operated by Ethiopian Airline with a Boeing 737-800, the type that is used to lift passengers in Abuja.
The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) on Saturday in Asaba honoured three senior journalists of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and seven others with fellowships.
The beneficiaries from NAN are the Acting Managing Director of NAN, Mr. Jide Adebayo; the immediate past Editor-In-Chief, Mr. Olusegun Aribike; and Mr. Buki Ponle, Managing Editor. Mr. John Ndukauba, a former Deputy Editor-In-Chief of NAN, also bagged the fellowship.
