What about the job opportunity it would have provided.

BankeSmalls:
Abeg, how many people lives in that state, they don't fly anywhere on planes. A state that should be building poultry farms?

I know some idiots will say the airport was a scam from onset, I will be waiting for them because despite the intentional cutting of Osun state's Budget , Aregbesola did miracles in Osun state

It is not a scam
It is 419

Omooba77:


You dont need to call people idiots because of sentiment. You should know from onset, this airport is not viable, but politics make us see things differently. How do you want people to travel to Ido-Osun to catch a plane; whereas Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Ilorin are within same axis.
Even if it is cargo airport, what are the profuce expected to be transported?
It is high time our government stop wasting scarce resources on nothingless.

Just like the name of the company, AWOL
It has gone Away Without Leave!
God bless Nigetia.

I have kicked against this useless fraud concessioned project in the first place. Ogbeni used it to siphoned the treasury of osun state. his party Apc will surely be judged, rejected and defeated at the upcoming governorship election on September 22. he has failed on this one. alot of many abandoned projects are scattering all over the local government of the state. so so pathetic.

The project was dead on arrival. We (Nigerians) have this mentality that airports bring development when in reality, its the other way around.

I doubt if there's any profitable airport in Nigeria today and some states are still building more.

I'd advice against naming anything tangible after MKO Abiola.
He was a treasonist,
His source of wealth wasn't clean.
He left no legacy.
Not even Concord Airline could be well managed.
So why name an airport after him?
Why?

With these few points of mine, I hope I have convinced you on why MKO Abiola deserves no honour and why Osun airport should not be named after him.

Zenithpeak:


Do you have anything or any document to prove your claim?

Please desist from posting comments for the fun sake of it.

The project will soon start I can authoritatively tell you. Nigeria commercial banks are evil and demonically greedy capable of frustrating the most promising project if you refuse to sign your destiny away for them.

That's the little I can say about it.

Buffalowings3:

Tell youself
The airport in ibadan is just two hours away from osogbo.
How economically viable is the white elephant project
He should find something else to do with the money
The state is too poor to be spending money on frivolous project

Go to jos airport and see how empty it is






I would have shed more light on the issue but your argument lacks merit. The conssesionaire agreement has been signed, sealed in the Fed Court of Appeal,Abuja and well documented by Osun state House of Assembly with the seal of Osun state's Cheif Judge.... You are here shouting white elephant noise.

How can Ibadan airport stop Osun state from developing her state?

If you want to go to Jos, go to Jos. I'm uninterested

Postanalyser:
They should forego the project like they did. Yoruba as a tribe is allergic to development. Come to think of it,how many of them are not witches? so with or without the airport, they will always fly.

AnonyNymous:

Scarce resources, but a good idea nonetheless, considering the fact that the concessionaire was paying 100% of the funds, and would recoup their investment within 39 years, then transfer back to the state government permanently. A perfect arrangement with no loss to the Osun State government.

From the op, I understand that this is simply a case of the concessionaire backing out, and I wish there were laws that stopped people from reneging on agreements like this. If they knew it wasn't profitable to them, they should have never signed it in the first place.

The only problem with the whole issue is how Aregbe bragged about it and raised the people's hopes. But then again, who wouldn't, it seemed like a well thought out plan and he didn't expect it to fail.


See above.

Yet Lagos is which Yorubaland is well developed and generates highest IGR.It is a good allergy.

The airports arent profitable because of how fan manages them. I believe the cirrent international airports would fare better under private sector managememt. The cargo airports have it much worse. Akwa ibom for example doesnt even have cargo opperations and I dont know of any international flights at the airport. The potential is stifiled since the didn't plam it out well.

Osun airport is just like Anambra airport. The investor is supposed to finance it then transfer it over. Their gimmick is the airport city with mall or something.




MOU isnt a legally binding contacts so you hsve no means of punishing the other party.

binger:
White elephant project...people are hungry,salaries are unpaid and u are busy launderng funds in t name of airport in a state with little or no viable economy/IGR.

If Osun state had the resources and built that airport , trust me People from Ilorin and Ibadan will have to come to Osun to board their flights
