Ekiti Govt Begins Work At Airport Site by kinibigdeal(m): 3:08pm On Oct 05, 2015 |
THE Ekiti State government has begun moves to bring to fruition its plan to build an airport for in the state as it has commenced the clearing of the 40 hectares of land for the effective take-off of the project. Following an approval of the project by the administration of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2009, the project had suffered neglect due to lack of political will of previous administrations in the state. The Commissioner for Works, Mr. Kayode Oso, told newsmen while conducting them round the site, that Governor Ayodele Fayose set up a planning committee for the project a month ago and that the committee had consulted widely with relevant consultancy firms and professionals on the project. Oso, who maintained that the Fayose-led administration was desirous of implementing the project, also disclosed that relevant professional bodies had approved the project, hence the earnest commencement of works on it. He said: “Today, we are starting the site clearing of the 40 hectares of land for the airport and we are hoping that in two months, we will be through with the site clearing after which the governor would flag-off construction works on the site. The communities that would be affected by the site clearing include Aso-Ayegunle, Ijan and a part of Afao-Ekiti,” he said. In a related development, the people of Aso-Ayegunle community, hosts of the project, while lauding the state government for the project, pleaded with the state government to compensate them for the acquisition of the land they described as “our only source of economic income.” Secretary of the Aso-Ayegunle indigenes, Chief Owolabi Solomon, told newsmen that “We have been informed that the government would use our farmlands for the airport project and we even know what areas that would be affected. We are happy the government is bringing this laudable development to us, but we are pleading that the government should, as a matter of urgency, find means of compensating us because the farmlands being taken are our only source of livelihood. On how government would compensate those whose farmlands have been lost to the project, Oso said that the government had already assigned some enumerators, who he said had commenced the estimation of the crops lost on the farmlands. http://tribuneonlineng.com/ekiti-govt-begins-work-airport-site 3 Likes |

wasco24: Thank you but remember that had it been that Awolowo thought like this when he was building NTA, etc there won't be much development. Also, note that a lot of people in Ekiti are well to do people who will prefer to travel by air to and fro the state. [size=13pt]F A Y O S E NAME WILL BE WRITTEN IN GOLD [/size] 6 Likes 1 Share |

White Elephant project. You don't build airports with billions where there are no airliners to use them. What is the economic gain of having airport facilities where there is very little airplane activities on them. Not to talk of other pressing Needs of the citizens of the state. 4 Likes |
