President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday commissioned the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Gateway in Onitsha as part of his one-day official visit to Anambra.
At the occasion, Jonathan said the gateway stands as a symbol of unity in the South East and prayed that the cause for which the late warlord was known for would not die.
He said the strategic site of the statue would always bring to mind the memories of the warlord and urged the people not to allow his dream to die.
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra said the gateway was the first point of contact with the South East, hence its choice for the immortalisation of Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and prayed that the statue would always touch the minds of the Igbo to think and act as one.
