I don't get. Is it an IOC building it?? Or AKSG is building it in the hope that an IOC will move in their?? The main IOC in Akwa Ibom is Exxon. Has Exxon told anybody it's moving there?? Hope it's not a vanity project?

They had reached agreements with all parties
And building was built to intl standards

This is a good effort to raise money for the state. But this is misplaced priority.

What about empowering the people? Hopefully, there is access to potable water in every home of Akwa Ibom.

In the north, the misplaced priority is building fly overs, when essential services are still absent.

It was acquired long ago
It was just delivered
I wont use the word suffering, what akwa Ibom really needs is human capital development backed by solid key industrial infrastructure
They already have some key industries they should revive including

One of the largest aluminium smelters in the world
Abandoned paper mills and steel mills

What they need fast to create jobs include

Seaport
FTZ and industrial zone
Functional refinery and fertiliser plant
2nd Brewery
A standard beach resort at ibeno that can attract local and intl tourists
What they have so far

Champion breweries
Exxon Mobil
Syringe factory
RUSAL
Break pad manufacturers
Gas plant
500 mw power plant
Gas plants
Saipem
Shell
Flour mills
Coconut factory
So they still have a lot of work to do

you see why i said we are a useless bunch based on the situation on ground with the grounding of flights and the uncertainty of the airline industry due to covid Nigerian leaders are still wasting the limited resources of the country in purchasing air crafts that wont be used. based on the state of things we should be focusing on building more isolation centres and wards and also saving to handle the needs of the less privileged during this times. but instead its to purchase aircraft that you are focused on. can we as youths get our acts together and cleanup the Nigerian political sphere haba arnt we tired of useless leaders we have inherited from our fathers. WE NEED A REVOLUTION NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oga there is only one oil company in akwa ibom - ExxonMobil located in Eket.

Moreover, Mobil Head quarters is in Lagos so technically speaking there is realy no oil company in akwa ibom, we only have drilling platforms.

Lastly, there is no functional industry in the state, you can prove me wrong with pictures of staffs working in those audio factories?

There are many other oil companies that have operations in Akwa Ibom only that ExxonMobil is the most notable firm. Yes, ExxonMobil corporate headquarters is in Lagos but her major operational base is in Eket and environs. So, it's not true that there's no oil company situated in the state. Regarding factories, although I've no pictures but people residing there have attested that they are operating and have workers.

Dangote is a private individual dude. He was not 'voted' in and has no legal responsibility to the PEOPLE!

Governor of Akwa Ibom on the other hand is meant to operate solely in the interest of the people of Akwa Ibom

So the airline is it call udom air?

Planes are not bought like fufu and keke
They are ordered years or months before delivery
Everyone has an opinion
Even on matters they know nothing about

Should I call this a misplaced priority ?
Yes. You should. No state in Nigeria has any business running an airline. National carriers are struggling world wide.

There is certainly more than meet the eye. You never know with greedy politicians.

The truth is Akwa Ibom government run by politicians has no business committing huge money into aviation business that requires high technical and professional proficiency.

you're even going too far. The profit margin is too low for its operational cost.

How much they paid you to tell lies?

There is no oil in Oron or Oruk anam, only one local government is producing oil in akwa ibom.
you're not guided by the truth. There are corked oil wells belonging to shell in Akwa Ibom. I even have one in my family land in Onna L.G.A. Why do you think shell carries out JV enhancement programs and scholarship in the state?

Great job though! I heard the citizens of that state are suffering. Was the new acquired aircraft necessary at this time where aviation is struggling to stand on its feet?


Vision less leaders everywhere

Modified:

If this aircraft was ordered before the pandemic, what happens to cancelling the order and use the money for something more demanding?

A state where its citizens are suffering. No isolation centre, only two ventilators. just aquired an aircraft. How many planes are flying now?


Brainless leaders everywhere

It appeared you are the dullest person in West Africa. As an astute investor, I understand that airplanes are at their cheapest prices now due to the almost zero flight activities. You invest when raw materials are at their cheapest prices . If Mecca was running its pilgrimage activities, northern Nigeria would participate in spite of covid19-That is bad investment, not this very one

Exactly, especially in Nigeria where there are only few lucrative routes due to low passengers load. So while ACMI, personnel cost and overhead costs not ever going to so down, revenues fluctuate like mad. Even after this whole COVID-19, the airlines in Nigeria will be needing stimulus to restart with especially 'C' and 'D' checks of many airplanes likely to be due.

It is not a business that state government should get into. More so as it adds no social benefits to the generality of Akaka Ibom people.

look at South Africa, Ethopia and Kenya airways, even with some partnering with foreign international operators like lufthansa, they are seriously struggling to stay above water. It's like S.A airways has even folded up.
