The resumption of flights at Osubi Airport in Warri, Delta State notwithstanding, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) yesterday insisted that the operator owing N566.4 million.

Though it confirmed a receipt of N31 million recently from Shoreline Oil Services, the agency, through its General Manager, Public Affairs, Khalid Emele, added that the payment was from an alleged N600 million indebtedness. It warned that the “balance” must be cleared to prevent further action.

NAMA, however, denied shutting down the facility, stating: “We do not have such statutory or physical powers.”

But the operator said the N600 million figure was the accumulation of “frivolous claim of N17.7 million NAMA levies on a monthly basis, contrary to the agreement of N2.975 million per month that erstwhile owners, Shell, had with it.”

It's private. Our hindsighted leaders refused to buy it from Shell when they wanted to sell it. Even now, the state government refused to actively do anything when the airport was closed, forgetting that the airport services the entire oil sector of Delta State.

Debt instead of gain? 17plus million naira payment per month to own a local airport in Nigeria.


Governorship candidates campaigning with promise of building an airport to their state should think twice as it is not all state that can afford such plearssure.

Those celebrating their governor declaration to build an airport in their state should think twice to avoid waisting their hard earned resources in what will not benefit the masses in the end.

Osubi Airport belongs to the Federal Government just like every other airport in Nigeria belongs to the FG,I want to believe the airport was concesssioned to Shoreline Energy.

I dont think this is included in that arrangement, Shell built this on its own. it is being operated in partnership with other oil companies. which was later transferred to Shore Oil

Exactly.

Lagos and Abuja airports are in debts too.
