agbameta:



I'm very very sorry, abeg show me the recent pics form the advanced stage you are talking about.

Shey den don change the asphalt runway to concrete too in the advance stage?


Thanks in advance.

Its now very obvious you don't know what you are talking about! But since you said you are sorry am going to give you the necessary inform.

A step by step progression of how Akwa ibom airport runway was built:runway image 1 showing concrete substructure/ foundation which in technical terms is called CTB Cement treated base. the compact/impact zone for the main runway was 45 meters and 30 meters for the parallel runway that is the only difference btw the main runway and parallel taxiway as they both have the same length of 3.6km and width of 60 meters with reinforced shoulders,which will make the taxiway capable of landing certain types of aircraft in case of closure of the main runway

runway 2 showing the concrete substructure/ foundation

agbameta look at the picture of the construction of the runway from the builders gitto constriction it shows the progression from the concrete substructure/foundation to the asphalting.

like i said do more research before you comment on things you know nothing about. but i understand where you are comming from cos in nigeria leaders say what they dont do and when they do it its substandard. i can assure you that the present administration in Akwa Ibom is different in words and in deed

This is the progression of the construction of the AKIA runway Agbameta hope this satisfies you? BTW all this images that i posted are old pre 2010. the airport project has progressed in leaps and bounds and currently the runway is being expanded to add taxiway to it. and the drainage work for the runway to divert flood and rain water away from the runway to a pond is complete, if you look at the last picture of the runway showing the turn around you can see the drainage job in progression. for more info,This is the website of the Italian company that constructed the runway. http://www.gittogroup.it/akwa.php

If you look at the turn around at the end of the runway on the 5th picture of the run way, that section is currently being expanded into a parallel taxiway by the same italian construction company that constructed the runway. the unique thing about the taxiway is that its also going to be constructed to meet the specs of a runway such that it could be used to land certain types of aircraft In the event that the main runway is shut down. progress so recorded on the airport project is on the video with the minister of aviation in it

Wow, the airport has 2 runways! I just hope the airport becomes a major hub in the future. Already, I believe over 500,000 have used the facility since September 2009.

will the 20th anniversary hospital look anyway close to this render from the builders Gitto website? does anyone know?

Flood in Uyo prompts mockery of Gov Akpabio’s ‘uncommon transformation’ slogan

Heavy flooding caused by torrential rainfall around the city of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, last week fired up public anger against the administration of Governor Godswill Akpabio, with most residents trapped within the chaotic traffic in the city publicly making jest of the governor’s ‘uncommon transformation’ slogan

Mr. Akpabio, the two-term governor of Akwa Ibom State, is well known for praising self as the man behind ‘the uncommon transformation’, a boastful reference to his administration’s modest effort at building modern infrastructures like roads, bridges, a few public buildings for government use as offices and a cinema within the state capital.

But the curse of heavy rain these days is pushing the people to show just how low they think of Gov Akpabio’s claims.

During the heavy rainfall people in Uyo were busy taking photos of a city ravaged by flood and posting them along with their satirical comments on facebook and other social networking sites.

Princess Etim, a female journalist residing in Uyo is one of the few who were quick to post on her facebook page, a photo of the flood on Atiku Abubakar Avenue, Uyo. Etim took the photograph with her BlackBerry Smartphone, and mockingly tagged it as ‘Uncommon Atiku River’.

Commentators – most of them journalists living in Uyo – who responded to the facebook post, were quick to catch the joke and also used the word ‘uncommon’ to poke fun at Gov Akpabio’s most familiar phrase.

“The flood on Atiku Abubakar Avenue not bigger than uncommon IBB River,” says Helen John, whose facebook profile indicates she is an assistant editor with the Akwa Ibom State-owned The Pioneer newspaper.

“The one at Nsikak Edouk (avenue) is uncommon too, but (it is) the largest river in Africa,” writes Etorobong Ekpo who works as a principal reporter with a local private newspaper known as Quest.

The paper is said to be owned by a journalist-turned politician who currently serves as a chairman of a local government council in Akwa Ibom State.

A post from David Augustine, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Insight, reads: “ ‘After just three minutes of rain in Uyo, our drainage system (the best in Africa) would do the magic and it will be so dry, you would think it never rained’ Who said this and to whom and when….?”

And another post reads: “Akwa Ibom is working jare…you guys aren’t seen nothing yet…uncommon rain, uncommon flood… ado ok!”

Gov Akpabio is widely celebrated in the local media and the Peoples Democratic Party for “governing Akwa Ibom State well”.

But residents say beyond the facade, the poverty and unemployment rate in the state remained among the highest in the country.

Local contractors are routinely ignored for multinationals in the execution of infrastructural projects, and residents complain of huge capital flights from the state.

The largest employer of labour in the state remain the civil service which is already overstaffed.

Most state-owned industries have closed shop and the state is not known to have attracted any substantial investment in spite of Governor Akpabio’s several overseas trip in search of foreign investors.[/b]
