If they can improve on their agriculture then that airport will be viable for export and also import too. Other states within those area can make use of it. Except it's another avenue to embezzle

flag off

Shey na today i begin hear dan nonesense


Abeg make dem build am finish before i go fit comment any beta thing




For dose kids bellow me

Dont make noise am writing the names of noise makers on dis topic .

D same way Aregbese did for his purported BIGGEST airport in Africa sited in Osun, some 5/ 6 yrs ago. Go there now, u will kill elephants and giraffes in d thick forest dt has overtaken d place. This is d 3rd year he has promised d firdt airplane will land, up till now , not even toy drone has landed there

If every governors develop their respective states, the load of work on the federal government will reduce. More jobs will be created and hardship on citizens reduced

It's about time we challenge the governors, senators and reps to get work going on

Hope thi Will not be another money embezzlement venture ?

k

Building airport with nothing to export or import.

White elephant project

Another white elephant project...

be like say na this cargo airport they are using to steal funds now. Something that can not be completed in 8 years, yet they will keep pumping money into it every year. Do the fvcking roads leading to major farms not useless (soon to be abandoned ) projects.

Good job

Like the cargo airport former governor of Ogun State Gbenga Daniel constructed in Ogun State. They use capital project to steal money. Barawo gov. Nemesis will catch all of una.

Nice one...

God help nigeria people oh. [color=#990000][/color]

a good development. let there b no magomago

Another scam
Those small Chinese guys don't even look like responsible representatives

Pay workers salaries ....NO WAY
Akume is completing his 3rd term as a Gov. Of Benue state, Ortom don't even have a say in the state as a Gov.

Nice One.....

Exactly.

watching

Omenka will have an airport in 2020

Misplaced priority a state that is not economic buoyant thinking of building a cargo plane soonest the project 'll be an abandon one when he can't finance it again

What is it with Nigerian governors and airports? That money would have been better spent building a hospital or renovating all public schools in Benue.

.

Has he sought clearance or approval from the fulani heardsmen before embarking on that project? Time will definitely tell.

if only they'd improve the current airports we have, Nigeria does not need any more airports

Na waw

Forget paparazzi guy, Ortom is confused.

He should focus on payment of salaries and make sure to expand and upgrade the road networks leading to the major towns/local governments in the state and repair the roads in Makurdi metropolis which seem to be throwing up one pothole after another with every passing hour- especially Ishiah Bakut road.

Lastly, someone should tell him and his sycophants to get rid of that multicoloured hat they wear- it makes them look mighty boring.
