BAYELSA STATE CARGO  AIRPORT

The state government is currently working to see that the Cargo Airport dream come to limelight the government work with the Federal Ministry of Aviation to develop the international passenger and cargo Airport, which is now under construction.The State Government's contribution to the development of the airport is over 24 Billion Naira. It is a mega project,a lot of sand filling has done. The Federal Government has the responsibility for building the terminal building,the Federal Executive Council has awarded the contract and construction of the Terminal building."
We hope that, God Willing,the new Airport should be ready very soon It is not a military airfield but the idea the Airforce has just come up with having a smaller Airstrip within the Metropolis that will serve Military purposes which will also be opened for some limited civilian flights is wonderful.More so because we are also thinking of a city Airport within Yenagoa having opened up Yenagoa to the investing world from within and outside."
We are concerned about a situation where people will land within the state capital and within the city centre,transact their businesses and possibly get back to their various destinations."
Unknown to the world,The Runway of the Bayelsa International Airport under construction will be 3.4 kilometers long and dredging as well as sand filling has reached advanced stages
Making solid ground out of water; dredging continues as this land mark project is ably piloted by Dantata and Sawoe's project Manager Ralf Fletkau, Terminal Building of the Bayelsa International Cargo Airport in Progress by Chinese Firm CCECC today 17/06/2014. Silently an Airport of international standards as promised by Gov Dickson begins to be realized .

It will be of a great benefits after conclusion of this massive Cargo Airport because of the  potential it will bring in teams of Job creation that will even go beyond Bayelsa state , Niger Delta and it will even extend to the entire nation , it capacity in jobs generation is what u never imagine , now that the government is beginning to diversifying the economy.

It will be good for the federal government to continue in the building of the terminal and to take full charge of other responsibilities that it supposed to Cary out for a speeding conclusion of the Cargo Airport in so doing it will go a long way in solving some of the lack jobs crisis that the people are facing.
Because of the huge amount of developmental project the state government has embark up on Bayelsans are appealing to the federal government to assist the state government in completing this projects that will benefit the entire nation.

Has he paid the workers?
Nigeria governors and their misplaced priority

24 billion naira invested in rice farming (which the state has good land for) will cultivate over 50000 hectare of land and build a world class mill..
This will produce atleast 6 million 50kg bags of rice
this will give the state over 50bn revenue yearly. ..
reduce our forex demand
grow the nations GDP,
create over 100000 direct employment and over 500000 indirect employment
Reduce the price of rice by over 50% in the south south region

All this in 18 months.. . But an airport which will break even in say 20 years is better??

Who this one epp

More like a scam project

Oga Silifa Dick-son, I beg pay your state workers before embarking on another white elephant project.

Btw: See below the faces of Niger-Delta looters, they looted the states resources including the 13% derivatives with reckless abandon.

Ok

If it will boost d economy of d state den no problem.

EvilSeeed:

OK

Tell Serakie Dickson to pay civil servants that are dying of hunger, especially Primary/Secondary school teachers.... NDU suspended their 7 months strike on Sep 2, meanwhile the parents have not receive salary to sponsor their children in school. is that not stupidity??

It may take time and there are sacrifices to make but I see a better Nigeria. We are on the right track. Long live president Muhammad Buhari. The closing of the boarders and food scarcity has open the locked brains of state govt. Oyel Oyel Oyel would soon be second to the Agricultural products we shall be exporting.

Of course children of hate would see nothing good in this.

Nice one.

isokey

I perceive lies

our leaders dont think before makeing decision but i pray that GOD WILL THEM

Ok

Good

Has he paid civil servants yet?

Bvft

EvilSeeed:
President Jonathan should never be allowed to fly in or out of that Airport EVER!!!!!

Buhari should never be allow to use any airport in Nigeria because he never built one

Now, rate your mentality

Nice if true, then greatly laudable by Dickson's administration.

When i was serving in bayelsa in 2009, towards where we trekked to for endurance activity, we learnt Yar'Adua came and commissioned an intended airstrip or airport; and there was a big billboard in that regard, very gigantic poster; i don't know if this was a continuation of that work?

Anyway God bless the past and present administration of that state.
