Gombe And Kebbi Airports Shut Down Due To Debts Owed by danieljoel759: 2:11am On May 02, 2019
The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria currently shuts down the Airport in Gombe State due to the debt the former Governments owed. This debt is estimated to be about N800 million.

A Twitter user took this to his page expressing how sad he is for the new Governor of Gombe State, Inuwa Yahaya M as this debts will be transferred down to his tenure which was retweeted by APC United Kingdom.

THE Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has closed down Gombe and Kebbi airports as a result of over N800 million debts.

The shutdown took effect yesterday.

FAAN, in a Notice To Air Men (NOTAM), sent to the airports yesterday, announced the withdrawal of men of the safety, fire rescue and aviation security personnel attached to the two airports.

FAAN, two weeks ago, warned that its services would be withdrawn should the two state governments failed to clear their debts.

It was gathered that FAAN gave the state governments enough time to settle their debts, but they remained adamant

It was gathered that the attention will be shifted to other airports, which are owing.

FAAN, it was learnt, wanted to carry out the drive in other airports but were stopped by the Presidency.

“But the agency has vowed to forge ahead with its plans to close state airports owing the organisation,” a source said yesterday.

A leper cannot hold cheese, but can pour cheese away. since they don't know how to make wealth, they must know how to squander it. They can hardly manage anything, no wonder they want to die in politics...

Haba, beautiful project, shebi the money used to do the project was borrowed? This is the new corruption in town. Performing Governor, Performing Governor, not knowing that all projects executed were from borrowed fund, while the state's stolen wealth is chilling in overseas bank-vaults.

When the useless airports are not generating any funds how will they pay. The airports that were built for the few elites who just fly in from Abuja to lie to the people in the name of campaign,and also fly in to share the federal allocation when it comes in then fly back to Abuja immediately that is done.
Some states have no business building an airport till they improve the commercial activities in the state but it is a war between the elites and the masses but the Elites seem to be winning always.

They know. It's an avenue to siphon money through contract and co. At the end, the airports will still become liabilities

Gombe Airport is owing 607m Naira only (not 800m)

This obsessed APC Facebook user is lying .

Besides, there's no cause for alarm

A meagre #607m debt for a #45 billion Naira airport project is nothing to worry about.

Gov Dankwambo will clear it soon before vacating office.
