Can you point out one Airport that was built by an APC controlled state government?

Like i said all APC airports are in the pipeline! all your links points to newspaper clips of MOU and contracts awards when you have something concrete with planes flying in and out you can come back and post it. All the 4 airport i mentioned are on ground not on some politician drawing board like yours.

Jyde81: . My question to u is this: do u think that an airport project is viable commercially in every state? My opinion is I think not.....

Yes I do, it is a necessary infrastructure for any state, provided the state government can afford to build it. Using Federal money to build it is another issue entirely.

If the state spends money to build it then it will find a way to make it profitable/ viable.

Viability of airports is for the users/owners to determine, airports are not just for passenger travels there are other major business that can grow around an airport
ie Cargo - especially perishable cargo terminal that can boost agricultural production, the reason Agric is not booming in Nigeria is lack of ready market, if we expand our market to exports,then it will boost production and this is where airports play a major role with regards to our country at the present time.

Nigeria lacks an indigenous parcel delivery service this could be an area of business growth in the country, and the major ingredient for such business will be availability of air transportation to every state of the federation.

Emergency management + health care .

Maintenance repair and overhaul of aircrafts.

security/military defence.

Boosting tourism though access to the sites via airports etc etc

Dont just measure viability based on passenger movements alone. there are other bussiness that can make an airport viable in nigeria. the fact that those markets and oppurtunities are not utilized today does not mean it will not be utilized tomorrow.

My question to you is would you prefer your governor to loot 8- 12 billion the cost of bauchi and jigawa airport respectively into his personal bank account or use it to build and airport even if you deem it unviable?

trust me these Nigerian governors are stealing that amount of money within their 4 years tenure.

When did akwa ibom commission its airport ?,the incumbent govt. will be 7 yrs old soon



in less than 6 months from now, a 3 yr old government will commission a airport in osun state with the longest runway in Nigeria.

One can only imagine what this country will look like in 2019 at this rate of development going on all over the country. Kudos to all involved in our progress at state and federal levels.

Akwa ibom airport has been operating regular scheduled flight since 23 rd sept 2009 after its inuguration, as a matter of fact you can buy tickets and get flights to and from that airport any day you want.

can you say same for you propaganda APC Airport? BTW this thread is about Jigawa state progressively delivering dividend of democracy to it citizens not for APC propaganda.

The only development you will see in you APC state will continue to be on the pages of news papers and on the drawing board of your fraudulent APC Gov. like the one you quoted.

DanNafada:

What good is it sinking billions into new but sub-standard airports when air transport overall is not safe and planes keep on crashing left, right and centre? Why not make the existing infrastructure safe first and THEN invest in new ones?
And in any case, PRIORITIES, PRIORITIES, PRIORITIES:
Lousy educational system and we are building unsafe airports?!
Lousy health sector and we are building unsafe airports?!
Lousy road networks and we are building unsafe airports?!
Gross, utter unemployment and we are building unsafe airports?!

Look at the pictures again. Do you see the one with a lot of Almajiri onlookers? That gives you an idea of the fvcking problem. They all look emaciated, clueless and must be wondering "why the hell are they building such a colossal structure when most of us here do not know where our next meal is going to come from?" No fvcking wonder some of them eventually hop on the Boko Haram band wagon.

No my friend, this is NOT development. You need to be educated some more.
The frustrating, fvcking, hopeless reality is that the majority of Nigerians think like you.
