My friend Buharis budget is not yet passed. There are numerous other projects waiting for him to prove himself

The actual long-haul cities allocated to Air Peace are Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson, Dubai International, Guangzhou (China), Johannesburg O.R. Tambo, and Mumbai (India).

I'm not sure the new terminal would be able to handle all these flights, in addition to ET and (possibly) Emirates, KLM flights.

Think home campaign is beginning to yield results...I pray air peace sets a standard in services, something rarely seen in our local airlines.

That's true. Our people travel mostly during Easter and Christmas (and Summer)

BTW, the flight duration between Enugu and Dubai is 7hrs 13 mins.

which space did they waste?

Look closely at the side of the update structure and compare with the side of the original design for airport.


All three pictures show the side of the block.

It's only a slight modification of the glass wall - it's being slanted in construction

The original design is far better. That space at the top on the side of the new design is for wat exactly? Wat will it cost to close that space as was done in the original design?


This is where i wonder if we have leaders. They just keep quiet on everything.

Maybe the Chinese contractors are in a haste to meet the deadline for completing the project.

The First thing APC did was to alter the design. That was done by an architect based in SW.

The question is are they planning on landing helicopter in that space?

You know what, a helipad wouldn't be a bad idea for corporate and/or VIP clients. The airport could generate more revenue via the helipad

If not for wickedness their is no need to make alteration to an on going project. They would have done more had the foundation and structure not already taken shape.

This is the airport design.

hahaha! That is not advice able. It would even cost more money than to raise the block to level.

Enugu, China in N11b housing pact

In its effort to provide housing for all, the Enugu State government has teamed up with a firm FIT Consult Ltd for the development of New Independence Layout in the Enugu metropolis.
The project, expected to gulp N11 billion, is to be undertaken by the Shenyang Yuanda Commercial Company Ltd, a Chinese firm. The new estate would also take the pattern of Chinese housing estates known as the Heliu Residences.
Facilities to be enjoyed in the estate include 24 hour water supply, 24 hour security, serviced plots, paved roads, street lights, recreation club, shopping mall, sidewalks and parks.
The state Commissioner for Lands and Urban Development, Hon. Solomon Onah told reporters at the presentation of the housing project that such estate has not been developed anywhere in the Southeast.
Onah noted that since the creation of Enugu state 25 years ago, no new area has been developed in a proper manner, with full modern facilities until now.
He explained that the Heliu Residences at the New Independence Layout is to be constructed in partnership with a consortium of local and international companies led by FIT Consult Limited.
He threw some light on the project, saying, “This is a Public-Private partnership, where the state government is contributing the land required, while the consortium will develop the infrastructure, so that the serviced plots can be made available for individual development. The estimated total cost of infrastructure is about N3.5billion and we hope that the much needed revenue the state seeks will come from the sales of the plots while providing job opportunities for our teeming youths.”
Presenting the specifics of the project, the managing partner of the FIT Consult Limited, Chief Loretta Aniagolu explained that FIT Consult and its consortium would provide financing to construct the infrastructure and houses.
She said that total estimated infrastructure cost is N3.5billion while estimated housing construction cost is N7.5billion. She further explained that only single family or twin family duplexes and bungalows are permitted and not exceeding two floors of ground and first.
According to Aniagolu, a plot of land at the estate is obtainable at between N9.5million and N10billion and allocation is within 10 working days of down payment while the certificate of occupancy is obtained within 14 working days of payment of statutory fees.
“All home construction must commence by March 2017 and money back guarantee of infrastructure not provided by March 2017,” stressed Aniagolu.
The Chinese managing partner, Xin Jiang Johnny in his contribution said the estate is in two sections. One will be fully developed by the consortium while the other to be built by individuals but strictly to the specifications.

Agriculture and Agric – Processing is one of the identified 10 key sectors/industries that have been presented to investors by the Enugu state government at the ongoing Enugu state International Investment Summit, 2016, holding from the 12th to 14th April, 2016.

Agribusiness players and investors have been presented with opportunity to explore options at developing the Agric sector in the state through Public Private Partnerships, as well as privatisation and commercialization of government Agriculture enterprises in the state.

The agribusiness plenary was the first investment plenary and session to hold among other numerous investment sessions and discussions to be held in the summit.

This was not a matter of coincidence but however a clear signal to the huge importance attached to the development of agriculture and agribusiness in the state by the state government and to highlight its overall importance in the overall investment drive and objectives of the state government for Enugu state.

The agribusiness plenary which was held under the theme; Agribusiness as a Viable Business Platform, had in attendance international investors, agribusiness players, exporters and agric players from within and beyond the shores of Nigeria.

Enugu state government is seeking to commercialize agriculture in the state as part of its development plan for Agriculture.

The major crops that are viable in the state and which offers potentials for investment and commercialization include; Oil Palm, Rice, Cassava, Cashew, Vegetable and fruits, livestock production.

Investors are welcome to invest in cassava value chain in the state, with over 80,000 ha of arable land available for cassava plantation.

Under Oil palm, the Enugu state government is offering prospective investors the opportunity to invest in existing oil palm plantations in the state. Opportunities also exist for leasing of moribund oil palm plantations to prospective investors under a public private partnership arrangement.

Over 80,000 ha of oil palm plantations and oil palm estates are available for investment; resuscitation, lease and outright purchase to prospective investors.



In the rice value chain, prospective investors are invited by the Enugu state government to invest in irrigated rice production in 16 no proposed irrigation schemes in different rice producing areas and locations in the state, with a potential and available land of over 67,143 ha of arable land.

Enugu state is the home of cashew in Nigeria and produces one of the best cashew of export value in Nigeria.

The state government has moribund cashew plantations at different locations in the state, covering over 2000 ha of land.

New cashew plantations covering over 600,000 ha are also been proposed for investments in six LGAs of the state in partnership with the World Bank Commercial Agriculture Development Project. Prospective investors are therefore invited to take advantage of these potentials available in the state.

Under vegetables and fruits, the state is already harnessing its numerous potentials under this sector and has also demonstrated its willingness to partner with the private sector especially in developing the fruits and vegetable sector in the state. One of such partnerships is the San Carlos Farms in Enugu state.

The Enugu state government signed an MOU, with San Carlos Group of Mexico for the cultivation, production and export of pineapples in Enugu state under a public private partnership (PPP) investment framework.

The joint venture company is to develop 1,000 ha of irrigated MD2 pine

The joint venture company is to develop 1,000 ha of irrigated MD2 pineapple at a total cost of $300m. Over 300ha of pineapples have so far been developed and planted.

The state government is looking for more of such investments in the state under the fruits and vegetables agro sector. Also over 4000ha of land are available for banana production in the state with excellent soil and fresh water for irrigated banana production in the state.

Poultry industry in the state is growing in leaps and bounds and the state is now the 4th largest producers of poultry and poultry bye-products in Nigeria.

Two modern hatcheries exist in Enugu state with a combined capacity of 360,000 DOCs per months.

More investments are been sought for in the poultry value chain by the state government so as to make Enugu state one of the highest poultry producers in Nigeria.

Investments are required in fish farm estates, in 17 LGAs of the state under PPP platform. The state has 14 water reservoirs and 50 lakes for development of fisheries potential. Investors are required for the full development of fisheries and aquaculture value chain potentials in the state.


Potentials for investment in Animal production in Enugu state exist at the Federal Government Cattle Ranch at Adada covering an area of 846ha of land. Investors can partner with FG/State government to lease this facility under a Public Private Partnership.

Also there exist a federal government piggery breeding and progeny project at Okpuje covering an area of 26ha with considerable infrastructural facilities. Investors are invited to explore leasing opportunities for this facility for piggery production under PPP platform.
