Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos, Plateau State, has constructed Security Watch Tower at about 5.1 m high at the Runway-28 end for the Police Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), the first ever erected in any Airport across the country.

Unveiling the tower before newsmen in the presence of the Regional Manager (North-central) of Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Pastor Chris Bature, the Jos Airport Manager, Mr Jim Opotu said the tower was erected in accordance with the directives of the National Security Adviser’s office to enable security personnel keep watch over the runway during flight operations.

Bature, who doubles as the Manager of the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Abuja, scored Opotu and his management team high over the tower and indeed other developmental projects locally executed by the management. He described the manager as “clever and intelligent”, charging the other airports managers to borrow a leaf from him.

[b]He said aside from the good pace of the remodelling work going on at the airport, which would increase the capacity of the airport to 730 per hour, “general renovation and furnishing of the airport Police post to provide conducive working environment for the Police officers, and the building of canopies at 5.4m high at the access and Apron gates by the Opotu team, were commendable.”

Bature also noted that the renovation of offices, conference room and conveniences of airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (ARFFS), and the production of sign posts at strategic locations for proper identification and direction of airport users, and many other projects “must have been a result of Opotu’s prudent management of funds released to the airport.”

Other projects executed by the Jos Airport management include the ongoing construction work on the permanent site of Airport Staff School, and five hydrants strategically located at various locations of the airport to replenish water supply in the event of fire outbreak.[/b]

Elated by the good works, Bature, while promising to contribute his quota to support Jos Airport, noted that FAAN was doing everything to ensure that staff welfare, in terms of allowances, accommodation, healthcare services, and education, were not taken for granted, adding that their welfare was currently under review

agbameta: Den erect fence, what a wonderful achievement....lawd have mercy....lmao

This is a clear demonstration of incompetence and idleness, every little thing becomes monumental to the shallow and incompetent...

t-something:


but switching on street lights for a bad road is a landmark achievement !!!! Shameless hypocrite

agbameta:

Switching on lights was a great triumph over 50 plus years of federal incompetence and neglect. We refuse to let the dullard keep us in darkness forever...

L.M Ayedun..:
I've said this before & i ll say it again......
The minister of Aviation is really performing.. Encouraging News coming out from that sector everyday.
I wish the minister of Education can get a clue from the Aviation Ministry.

t-something:


...... stop making yourself look stupid even though its obvious you are. Has this President ruled for 50 years? He rushed to switch on street lights yet cannot complete an ordinary 50Km road after 7yrs even though he's collecting huge tolls from it daily.

Besides talking of idleness, If I can recall correctly , someone opened a thread to celebrate Eko Atlantic city on the homepage of MSN.

agbameta:

What a clown you are. So we shouldn't have street lights because our incompetent dullard was not the president 50, 30, 20, 10 years ago, but the power situation got worse under his dumb assss..?

Dullards indeed think alike for real.

The whole world is talking about and celebrating Eko Atlantic in your country with daily news articles, but your sorry and pathetic ass is mad because Eko Atlantic is not in your tribal village.... What a loser. No wonder your village remains backward.

Gen. Orumov:

She may be performing but I was disappointed when I visited MMIA, Lagos. Yes they are renovating it but it seems to be at a snail's pace. Seems past governments didn't touch that airport at all. And the road leading away from the Airport? Pathetic!! I wonder what the current government is doing regarding that. And to think that Airport serves as an International Airport, I wonder what foreigners have to say about us.

Ademab: Is it that same jos airport that boast of an uncompleted building as its waiting and departure lounge... Maybe another one sha

telexfree1:

Why did you wait for 50 years before you finally got off your a.s.s to take a proactive step ?
