neocortex:


If am to believe you , this helipad will be the first constructed artefact that requires no maintenance!
A structure don't have to be electronic before it requires maintenance.
From your response , I think you view an helipad as just like plastering cement on an open field.
If that is the case then it shouldn't have cost more than 100k(that is on a high side).
I expect an administration that preaches/promises frugality to lead by example , not taking to an extravagant lifestyle.

How many Nigerians fly choppers to Daura and for what purpose? Is Daura a tourist destination? You people will go to any length to defend the Daura President. I'm not surprised anyways..... Afterall you people said even if you catch Buhari and Tinubu carting away money from CBN vaults, that you're ok with it.

Good luck with your CHANGE! As for me and my family we dont have a president till 2019.

How does building a helipad solve any problem now!

Re: FG Builds Helipad For Buhari In Daura by Rawani: 7:48am
Building a helipad which will allow the President fly to Daura directly from the villa will be a cheaper option than using the Eagle One Presidential jet to first fly to Katsina and then moving the entire convoy by road to Daura, a trip that is repeated for his return as well.

[b]Let's keep in mind that the soil in Otueke is loamy, in contrast to the sandy Daura soil which would raise dust when landing that could disastrously block the pilots visibility. [/b]The construction cost of a helipad is about N2 million.

This is a 'clueful' decision which is highly efficient, especially as it significantly reduces the cost of governance.

Buhari stealing by tricks since 1759........
Who becomes the owner of that helipad after his presidency?

That man is a big pretender

bigerboy200:
Buhari not having a helipad in daura b4 now is much more reason why I believe dis guy is modest.. Most politicians have helipads in their private residences. Ask David Mark

edoyad:


At least PDP tried to lie any time they cheated us, they didn't try this, "YOU ARE STUP!D SO BELIEVE WHAT I'M SAYING" routine. The dust in daura will affect pilot's visibility?

what becomes of the helipad at the expiration of his tenure??

Reading the post I think it is a good idea because it will reduce cost. BTW, Mr President we are impatient to witness the ever clamored CHANGE. It is becoming out of hand sir.. Do something tangible sir.... Why can't you read the post before asking JAMB question sir?

Lexusgs430:


Remember he is an old man, and needs to start preparing his grave. What better dual-purpose that helipad could serve!!!!!

2 million naira cannot even build a fence talkless of a helipad. I see you love PMB so much that you can't think.

@ ds modern time we allowed an old cow to become our president.... We r doomed.

And you agree that's a priority at the moment?

Even if you agree for partisanship, I'm sure 99% of honest and civilized Nigerians will not agree.

blackpanda:


Did u even bother to read the analysis of why it was necessary? Think before u pour out nonsense. Its helipad, not a runway!

Rawani:


The point is that the cost of maintenance of the helipad where it exists, is far lower than the cost of constantly fuelling the Presidential jumbo jet to fly to Katsina, and then fuelling the Presidents entire convoy to Daura from Katsina airport, and then bear the same cost for the return trip.

I repeat, a broom, mop, and replacement bulbs are all that are needed to maintain a helipad.

Imagine what Congress will do to Obama if he decides to build a Helipad...

1. In Chicago for his private use just to access his home

2. From tax payers funds

3. Just 30 days into his first term in office

Nigerian leaders are a joke!

The unfortunate thing is that the people allow themselves to be clowned!
