Is Dan Fodio from Nassarawa?

Note my complaint

Awolowo is not bad but there are enough institutions in the SouthWest to name after him since he made this one look like the names should be after a great man from the region

The facility does not need to be in the South-West before it can be named after Awolowo. Usman Dan Fodio is associated with Sokoto, which is in the North-West, but an airport in Nasarawa, which is in the North-Central, was named after him.

Why should PH int airport be named after a yoruba man .
So no legend in Rivers and Bayelsa .
What of picking from Delta state

Tinubu is a proxy
He does not even know what is happening

i know that only my dear SEast and maybe some SSouth people would have a problem with this. It's the Nigeria project by the Nigerian government, not tribal leaders. Airports can be named after prominent Nigerians, same as currency notes. Everyone should wait for their turn. MMIA in Lagos is not named after a Lagos person or SWest person. Same with NAzikwe airport in Abuja. It's not compulsory to wail and complain.

Awolowo should be named after Akure Airport not portharcourt airport.

Will they take it if an airport in the west is named after a Niger Deltan.

I am surprised that Rivers state indigenes kept quiet over such a sensitive issue.

Abuja Airport is call Zik Airport

Lagos airport is named after a northner

I believe naming Port Harcourt after a Famous Yoruba politician is not bad.


It is bad. Those places were named like that, because as at when they named them they where/is capitals.

Port Harcourt has never been the capital of Nigeria.

Because those airports are in the countries capitals. MMA was named when Lagos was the capital.

Nnamdi Azikiwe Road Kaduna, Olu Obasanjo Road Port-Harcourt, Alfred Rewane Way Lagos, Muhammadu Buhari Bridge Anambra-Delta, Yakubu Gowon Stadium Port-Harcourt, etc.

It doesn't have to be in the town or region that the person comes from.

Nonsense....Port Harcourt was part of old Western region which was headed by Obafemi Awolowo. So renaming the airport after him is still in order. And besides Federal Institutions can be named after anybody.


When was Port Harcourt part of western region?

Things have really falling apart . Even the press are confused, Many Nigerian youth read without understanding. You want to reform aviation sector by renaming the airport. So for you to renovate a school building you will have to change the name of the school. Annoying part is that some people are already singing and dancing for this charades. Come to think of it what is Usman Dan fudio A jihadist doing in that list. Where are Asaripig and other deluded South touterners now that Porthaccourt Air port are been renamed after Awolowo A Yoruba Man. No Legend from Creek .

I remember the "one day child governor" in Lagos that was organized by same Tinubu, the multiple effect of the one day governor has greatly improved the economy of Nigeria and now we have youths as governors, ministers, ambassadors, senators, SGF, AGF, etc just because of the vision of one man...

Today we have airports named after people like Buhari and Dan Fodio, very soon air ticket will become so cheap and affordable for alll

FAKE NEWS!!!

Tinubu did not rename them. They were renamed in the last days of President Muhammad’s Buhari’s tenure as President.

Whoever posted this should be ashamed of themselves because they’re looking to create controversy with it.

This should be one of the last things in a reform, Tinubu is always fond of putting the cart before the horse..

A woman first becomes a wife before she changes her name - Transform the sector first before changing the names

What are you talking? Are the Airports not already built or in the process of being completed?
Transform what sector? It’s Work in Progress which cannot be completely transformed even in the next 20 years!
Just give the guy Kudos for thinking about commending past leaders for their moderate contributions to the advancement in various parts of Nigeria….we don’t have to wait till they all die off and are completely forgotten! cool cool

Last time I checked, names don't fly aeroplanes, names don't maintain airports, names don't stop bribery and corruption in the airport, names don't ensure safety and good standard in the airport and a lot more, I now see more reason why Nigeria is really where it is.

Major on the minor and minor on the major and some people are busy hailing such....

Focus on real issues, in order of priority is this what the aviation sector needs now?

Some of You guys can be so deceived....

Buhari already did this just before he handed over..

But why renaming Nasarawa Airport after the caliphate..? Nasarawa are 60% Christian state..

Also, does it mean that the people of South South has no Icon that Port Harcourt Airport can be named after..? Awolowo has other National monuments been named after him.. GEJ should have been the one in place of Awolowo..
Harry Marshall should have been OK. King Jaja or Ken Saru Wiwa would have been OK, too. GEJ is another good option. Saru Wiwa might not be considered because of his rebellion in order not to encourage others to take after him. But that could heal his people.

I am okay with Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, named after our indigenous Visionary former Governor, the state-of-the-art airport is 100% owned by Akwa Ibom State with the best Automated Terminal Building, longest runway/taxi way & MRO facilities. The Airport is accessible through a dual carriageway with streetlights linking the city of Uyo in a matter of minutes.
