parrotibaba:
sm peeps here na....
but anyways privatisation is d way forward,in other to reduce "THIEFERY" from d govt officials but d most important thing is dat it(the airport ,if privatized) will be handle with care now,not being abandoned by govt officials for years

PStacks:
Privatisation is just a way of the government saying.. Look! I don't want to be responsible, who can be responsible for me..

The government is forgetting that there Is no free lunch anywhere.

The private investors would be responsible but at a cost to the citizenry..

Nigeria is a shame of a country very soon the government would privatise the country..

erico2k2:

U lack basic Economic sense,I assume you have never left Nigeria to the western world, No Airport in the west is owned By its Government, they are all privately owned, Heathrow is Owned by BAA so those JFK,and the rest

ylordy:
is a welcome development I don't see why govt will be trying to monopolize all the sector when they know that they can't manage them, privatisation is key to development .

Thomsbuky:


BAA means British Airport Authority which is own by government local authorities...The BAA was renamed as Heathrow Airport Holdings in 2012 to reflect Heathrow Airport being its main business. , its was, bought by spanish Ferrovial in 2006. However government and local authority still own Airport manage some vital duties immigration and securities. Ferrovial makes money from charging landing fees to airlines and increasingly from ancillary operations within those airports such as retail and property. It owns and operates four airports within the UK. Even under the name BAA, it did not operate all UK airports as most are in the ownership of local authorities or other corporations.

I look at people when the comment without reasoning.....'Heathrow airport n JFK are managed by private firm blah blah blah'....you forget that uk n us are no match for us. The power status n comsumption of Heathrow Airport alone is more than our national grid.do we have a water corporation as a nation, where will the fire dept get water in event of fire outbreak? Privatization is for the good of the citizens not for the government. This is exercise is like running without crawling......No job n all.....the privatization will definitely lead to more lose of jobs.........I may sound disjointed cos I have alot to say......I am sorry for nigeria n silly nigerians

GenBuhari:
Difference is even if you are right, and I doubt it, is that when Heathrow was sold off, it was not for peanuts and to foreign corporations with no conditions attached.

I beg to disagree,some airports in the west are owned by the government,pls be very sure of the facts before you mk statements like this

Billyonaire:
American Airports are among the most privatized in the world. It is a good model for Nigeria. The Federal Government has too much businesses that are not even profitable. Government has no business in business, lets privatize these moribund institutions and lessen the baggage of corruption. Bi-Courtney will eventually have a new boss. Lets see how you can milk them.

There are certain firms govt must not privatize airports are one of them, it does not make national security sense. Govt should rethink!
However privatizing fight against corruption would change Nigeria for the better.
