One Nigeria is to hold Igbo People backward in all ramification.

Leave Bridge and think about Airport that GEJ nearly completed before living office and how funds for Enugu Airport are being canceled.


It will never be well with Nigeria.

Funds meant to give enugu international airport some face-lift wasn't cancelled. In fact the total amount budgeted for it last year was 2 billion naira.

According to minister of aviation sometime ago, she said " the sum of 1.7 billion naira will be released to the contractor to facilitate construction works @ the airport with a balance of 300 million remaining to complete the project" .

This year, the criminal buhari budgeted another 2 billion for the same project which the Senate saw as improper and went ahead to approve just 500 million naira to complete the project as previous balance was 300 million naira..

Now it behoves on FG to do the needful with 500 million which in my opinion is simply proper..

Question we should be asking is, where is the construction work on the airport so far after the FG released 1.7 billion naira.

If findings reveals that no work was actually done with that money for the said airport project then it is proper to conclude that buhari is just another thief

Since you say 2 Billion Naira is sufficient for whatever work needs to be done on the airport then it's ok.

Thunder fire anybody mouth way go ask for money pass the 300 million.

If to say u get sense u for understand say the actual cost for the airport projects was pegged @ 2 billion naira. Now the 1.7 billion that was announced by the minister of aviation, to be released to the contractor is bone of contention here.

The very person who awarded the project for 2 billion naira last year, re-awarded another 2 billion for the same project which the Senate rejected, claiming that the actual balance for the project was 300 million as claimed by aviation minister.

Now due to certain consideration, additional 200 million was added making it 500 million to enable completion of the said project by the Senate.

The question now is, did FG ever released the1.7 billion for that project @ all last year?

Ur findings will provide u an ample opportunity to nab the thief.. Believe me ur iconic messiah is culpable.

No.

The matter is not how you want to twist it.

You believe that poultry of a landing strip can be made of international standard with 2 billion from which 1.7 billion has already been expended.

God punish anybody wey ask for more than 300 million way remain.

300million is all that is left for that poultry.

Although it restated its commitment to ensure the realisation of an international status for the airport with the release of N1.7 billion for the continuation of construction work at its international wing, it stated that its internationalisation would continue to be delayed until the state government addressed certain lapses that had hindered progress of work.

Minister of State for Aviation, Mr. Hadi Sirika, who stated this yesterday after an inspection tour of facilities at the airport, told Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi that the Federal Government was poised to address inadequacies at the airport, adding that a huge amount had been voted into the 2018 budget for completion of work at the place.

My take is this; since you believe 2 billion Naira is the total cost of how much the works at the airport should be, then no other sum should ever be appropriated to the airport for construction in future.

Amen.

The question is, was that amount of money, 1.7 billion ever released? If it was released but the money couldn't finish the job due to increase in cost of raw material or for another reason, then it's the duty of the minister to defend her budget proposal and leave the senators with no doubt about injecting additional 2 billion naira to finish the remaining job.


I certainly believe the minister of aviation never defended her budget convincingly if @ all she was summoned ..

There's noting to twist here.. She said 2 billion would finish the job. And 1.7 billion had been released. How come the said amount didn't finish the job if she knew what she was saying.

I think even the 1.7 billion that was said to have been released was eaten by crooks in this govt.. Little wonder they budgeted another 2 billion for same project.

You are a bloody liar.

It was boldly written there "for continuation of the construction work" ... told governor Ifeanyi Ugwuani that the Federal Government was poised to address inadequacies at the airport, adding that a huge amount had been voted into the 2018 budget for the COMPLETION of work at the place.



But since you insist what has been used is ok, the project does not need further allocation of funds.

From the above its obvious that money wasn't even paid reason why another 2 billion was injected in the budget for same project

Furthermore, it was claimed that the provision for Construction of the Terminal Building at Enugu Airport was cut from 2 billion Naira to 500 million Naira and that this will further delay the completion of this critical project. However, for the avoidance of doubt, it is necessary to again clarify that during the budget defense and oversight processes, the National Assembly discovered that out of the N2billion contract for the Enugu Terminal Building, N1.7billion had already been paid to the contractor. And what is left to complete this project is justN300million. Hence, the National Assembly approved N500million for the project — which is even N200million more than was required. We refer Nigerians to a publication in THISDAY newspaper published in April and titled “Giving Enugu Airport a Facelift” and written by the newspaper’s Aviation correspondent, Chinedu Eze, where the Minister of State (Aviation),
Mr. Hadi Sirika was quoted as saying “We just last week released N1.7billion to the contractor and hopefully also, within the shortest possible time, we will release another N300million for him so that they can quickly finish the airport terminal. This will bring the airport to its desired standard.”

Now is it not obvious the 1.7 billion wasn't even paid? This is why another 2 billion was budgeted for same project.

Below is what I said in another thread...
Igbos must NEVER be deceived, the reduction in Budget for Enugu Airport was an active collaboration between buhari's destructive govt and some of their stooges in the National Assembly to punish South East. Buhari's HATE for Igbos did not start today so forget his hypocritical reaction. It's nothing but pretence.
The same way they are frustrating Second Niger Bridge and container ports and other major projects in South East is the same way they are frustrating Enugu international airport.
Frustrating major Infrastructural development in South East had always been the objectives concept of One Nigeria singers to deprive Igbos economic developments.
Any Igbo that believes in One Nigeria is a BIG FOOL AND A USEFUL IDIOT.
