@ATOUKE is that u?

God bless akwaibom state
GOD BLESS AKWA ABASI IBOM STATE
GOD BLESS IBB
GOD BLESS ATTAH
GOD BLESS AKPABIO though he messed up along d line, playng politics over governance.
n dont despise me if i say God forgive BUHARI, D 1985 coup was what gave birth to the creation of this our state, imagine if Buhari was still in power, i dont think AKWAIBOM STATE would hv even been coined not to talk of setting committees to deliberate n looked into. buhari with this i have more reasons not to vote you.

@Atuoke seems the tank farm for the airport been constructed by Oando is complete?

akpanakwaibom: @Atuoke seems the tank farm for the airport been constructed by Oando is complete?

Sorry i dont know. the tanks dipicted in the picture are water tanks.

@atuoke thanks bros the tanks are huge is this for the whole airport or just for fire fighting people?

@atuoke thanks bros do you have any report on the new terminal building i don't think installations has started already?

please need more and more pics on this thread to make it grow whenever i see the enugu thread am always jealous wish it was this thread.please we need pics not just of the beauty of our state but also of the bad not too good and the worst

How comes nobody is talking of the new terminal being constructed anymore? They started long before the ones being built in Enugu, Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt, yet those ones have reached advanced stages!

The last pic of it i saw was from years ago when they were at the foundation level!

to the best of my knowledge i think the fabricated part would be shiped from outside and once it arrives it would take long for the airport terminal to be ready

our own akwa united defeated Giwa fc of jos 2 goals to 0 keep it up boys we are so proud of you

Akwa united keeps improving in the league ever since they gain promotion .if they keep this spirit in the next 2 to 5 years they would be a force to reckon with in the Nigeria league

@ujoime and Atuoke please what information do you have on the new international airport terminal?

You mean the FG airport terminal projects built by Chinese contractors using Chinese loans? Are you comparing that to a state project? WTF man! when a state govt tackles the kind of cutting edge projects that AKSG is handling then we can talk of comparison. Or are you now comparing a state govt to the FG?

The Akwa Ibom airport terminal is not concrete based structures as the ones the FG are building, The Akwa Ibom terminal is made of steel trusses and glass which are currently being fabricated in Europe.

The concrete foundation has been prepared and is awaiting the arrival of the steel and glass components. once they arrive it will be put together like Lego blocks which is how modern buildings are done this days. The Maintenance repair and overhaul building at the Ibom Airport was built in a similar fashion the steel/ metal components came from china.

Has anyone seen the design of the Chinese built terminals in Abuja, lagos etc yet? or are we busy blindly celebrating terminals that may turn out to be disappointing in design, apperance and appeal when completed? but the design of the ibom airport is there for all to see and like the stadium that doubters swore will not be built, they will be quiet once the fabricated components parts start arriving and assembly begins, If there are adequate funds the Ibom airport terminal will be completed in record time and in style making it the most contemporary and modern aviation compliant terminal in the country just like their stadium.

all4naija:
You are proud of substandard infrastructure. It is time you demand for something better. Please, don't be a mediocre!

My brother honestly all I see here is celebration of mediocrity.

Nice pictures Atouke. please keep them comming

WOW Good news I hope they Get the German National team Since the Stadium Is built by Germans. And Am Surprised at the speed at which the turkish construction Giant is using in building the four points by sheraton at ikot Ekpene. I was at the site recently and i was totally blown away.

German National Team? thats a long shot bro. Which country is cape verde? I dont want the super Eagles playing the black stars, The Super Eagles may lose and that will not be a good history/begining for the stadium!

The super eagles should play the Fiji National team or any country we can beat 7-0 for the opening game.
