Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady had made history as the 'first female' pilot to land an aeroplane at the new Anambra airport.
The lady's sister with the Twitter handle, @SoniaUzama, rejoiced on social media as she said that it was such a proud sister moment.
In one of her tweets, the lady said that their dad would have been so proud of Nwando if he was still alive.
"My dad would have been super happy today. The BC he would have sent wont be here. He most likely would have sent it to newspaper houses and all his WhatsApp groups (yes he is that dramatic). I really wish he was here to see my sister’s name and face everywhere."
