Cross River Set To Launch Airline And Shipping Line by Abagworo(m): 10:31am On Jan 28, 2017 |
The governor noted that while Cally Air was expected to transport tourists from all over Nigeria to the beautiful tourist sites dotted across the state, particularly the famous Obudu Ranch Resort, the shipping line would concentrate primarily on cargo services, especially along the shoreline of the Gulf of Guinea. Ayade maintained that “Cross River State is only taking full advantage of its huge maritime resources by focusing on maritime trading particularly, cabotage services by providing merchant vessels that will ply the Gulf of Guinea and provide services to countries along this shoreline. “In our 2017 budget, there is a provision for a merchant vessel that will provide maritime businesses with Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun and the entire stretch of the shoreline. “There is another provision for Wharf landing and other support services. So, we are also going to have a fabrication yard and other allied maritime services as we refocus on broadening the maritime sector in the state”. Justifying government’s decision to venture into maritime services, Professor Ayade reasoned that with the maritime trade and connectivity along the region, his administration was confident that the return on the investment would definitely be huge and contribute immensely to the budget of infinite transposition. “Our vessels are already berthing in Calabar as part of investment in 2017 because we are establishing business outlays in some West and Central African countries dealing mostly on petroleum products and because Cross River State is looking at an aggregate of driving an industrialised, business-like module for governance, soon, you will see us go into full time trading. “That is why in our budget, we have budgeted about 14 billion Naira to expand investment in this direction to the Gambia,” the Governor explained. Professor Ayade further told reporters that the state had the capacity to handle the huge investments, knowing full well that, it is a very delicate combination of public-private service administration structure running it from a private business perspective. Cross River is announcing its plan two days after Imo State government said it had taken delivery of the first aircraft, to kick start, as the first state owned commercial airline, Imo Air. During the official launch of the new airline at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo airport in Owerri, the Imo state capital, the Governor Rochas Okorocha said the investment by the state government would boost economic activities in the state. He added that it would increase the state Internally Generated Revenue and also generate employment opportunities for teaming unemployed youths in the state. https://www.channelstv.com/2017/01/27/cross-river-set-to-float-air-and-shipping-lines/ |

This is a what Okorocha did, and because of the hate they had for him they didn't even sit down to think of the Economic relevance of having an airline that pays to the state coffers... if well managed this promises to be a great investment. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Obudu should have an airport, the distance from Calabar to that place is something else. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Ayade abi? If I hear! He hasn't even started half of what he promised during his campaign. Oga, please come and start the super highways first. Most local government workers are still being owed, all they ever hear are your fake promises. Now you have come again. Those who do not know will be praising you now, meanwhile, na wash! You're dancing shoki with our intelligence, continue. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Instead of making sure that all the children in the state have the best education to have a vibrant labour pool for attracting private investors to own businesses in the state? Foolishness unlimited. 3 Likes |

sinistermind: It has an airstrip, Bebbi Airstrip. The place is nonfunctional at the moment due to mismanagement and the controversies that surrounded the arrangement with Aero Contractors to manage the place and the purchase of a light aircraft for the state. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hmmmm..... the State is buying the ships and building a shipyard (with taxpayers money).... but it is a delicate public private partnership. How much is the private partner investing?...and what percentage of the profits .if any.... would they be reaping? Why do I have the feeling that shortly after completion the project would be "sold" to the private partner for ehmmm.... better management and efficiency to bring the project up to best world practices. 1 Like |

It looks like the period of airline business. Many serious airline companies have gone bankrupt, nothing suggests to me that state sponsored airlines will survive. 1 Like |
