There are more stunning statistics. Enough passengers have lined up to fly from Enugu; flights are fully booked into October. Ethiopian Airlines, the only one on the route at the moment, has scheduled to fly four times a week from Enugu in response to demand. Other airlines are indicating interests in Enugu.The bulk of travellers to Asia, connecting through Addis Ababa, Ethiopian’s hub, are business people from Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha. Before international flights from Enugu, they had to travel to Lagos to make international connections. Nearby States like Benue, some parts of Kogi, and Delta would have Enugu as alternative to Abuja and Lagos.

This is definitely going to stimulate the enugu and the Eastern economic hemisphere , like new hotels around the airport, aviation fuel business for oil company, airport taxi, airport parking fees, tickets sales, travel agencies, restaurant, tourism, banks to fund these businesses, airport workers, ticketing and reservation staff, aeronautical engieers and technicians on stsnd by to service and maintain aircraft before taking off, possibly a new eastern owned airline that would compliment. The eastern region should brace up for an economic recovery and revolution

PapaBrowne:

Ha, did you say OBJ started railway? Noo. It was actually started by Lord Lugard. Even the power plants were started way before our independence. The only thing that has been started recently is BRT. Fashola is the grandmaster. Everyother is a failure.

Austine.E:

the two ex-president may ve started those projects for just political reasons but do they really ve the political will to complete them!Nigeria is littered with so many uncompleted projects from the past,dont forget obj's (IPP)power projects,benin-Ore road,portharcourt-owerri road,etc which were started just to get vote from certain regions!GEJ stands out for his special love in completing of projects and equally initiating quite a number of others.
