And 100+ more companies

The Nigerian government has successfully concessioned the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja (NAIA) and Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport Kano (MAKIA) to a consortium that has Nigerian billionaire Kola Karim as a major shareholder.

Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Nigeria’s Aviation Minister James Odaudu said the concessions came after approval from the Federal Executive Council, FEC.

The Corporacion American Airport Consortium emerged as the preferred bidder, which comprises the Corporation American Airports, Mota Engil Africa, and Mota Engil Nigeria.

Mota Engil Nigeria is a joint venture between Mota-Engil, a public-listed Portuguese contractor, and Shoreline Group, an energy and infrastructure conglomerate owned by Karim.

The Corporacion American Airport Consortium will make upfront payments of $7 million for NAIA and $1.5 million for MAKIA. During the concession period, total projected nominal revenues accruable from the combined concession of NAIA and MAKIA exceed $4 billion, of which over 70 percent will be payable to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.

The partnership arrangement will be effective for 20 years for NAIA and 30 years for MAKIA. The statement read:

“Following a thorough and comprehensive evaluation process that commenced with the Request for Qualification (RFQ) advertised in local and international media on 16th August 2021, and subsequent rigorous evaluation of technical and financial bids, coupled with due diligence visits conducted from 27th – 29th December 2022 and 9th – 10th January 2023, the Corporacion American Airport Consortium has emerged as the preferred bidder.

“The consortium, composed of The Corporation American Airports, Mota Engil Africa, and Mota Engil Nigeria, is globally recognized for its superior technical expertise in the design, construction, management, and operation of infrastructure. The Corporation American Airports, a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listed airport operator, has a presence across three continents, managing 53 airports in six countries and serving approximately 82.4 million passengers in 2019.

“The concession of NAIA and MAKIA will considerably enhance the operational efficiency and profitability of these airports, repositioning them to operate optimally and competitively. During the concession period, total projected nominal revenues accruable from the combined Concession of NAIA and MAKIA exceed $4 billion United States Dollars. Over 70% of these projected revenues will be payable to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), thereby generating additional revenue sources for the Federal Government.”

In 2018 Shoreline Group, a Nigerian energy and industrial conglomerate founded by Karim, partnered with Mota-Engil, a publicly listed Portuguese contractor, to establish Mota Engil Nigeria. Mota Engil partnered with Shoreline Group to leverage the latter’s clout in Nigerian business and political circles to access target large-ticket infrastructure construction projects in Nigeria. Mota-Engil holds 51 percent of Mota-Engil Nigeria, while Shoreline owns 49%. Mota-Engil is active in civil construction, public works, port operations, waste, water, and logistics. The company has a present market cap of more than $700 million.

Karim, 54, is one of Nigeria’s wealthiest men. He owns Shoreline Group, which has interests in power, energy, infrastructure, engineering, agriculture, and telecom.

However, the crown jewel in the group, Shoreline Natural Resources, is Nigeria’s third-largest indigenous oil producer, producing an estimated 40,000 barrels of oil per day. Shoreline Natural Resources is a joint venture between Shoreline (55 percent) and Heritage Oil (45 percent).

Karim is also an avid polo player and is the patron of the STL Shoreline polo team in Nigeria.

My Yoruba brethren, please exit this thread.There's no need exchanging words with this peeps. An average igbo is characterised by low self esteem, insecurity, hatred and inferiority complex so let them keep seeking validation to pacify themselves. After that omoluabi up there trashed their asses with just few of the greatness achieved by yorubas you can still see someone wailing and deluding himself that producing substandard goods, trafficking drugs, selling pirated CDS, building baby factories, etc, are greater achievements. What more proof do you need to know this people are just lousy touts seeking validation from yorubas (who they know they'll never be as good as)? They spend their lifetime on NL(owned by an omoluabi) yet they hate his kinsmen. They totally ripped off NL for their so called "Biafrasay" forum (again yoruba setting the standards) but photocopy ko easy. Let them keep drowning in their low self esteem abeg.


MODIFIED:
There was a thread with similar title y'day which was created to insult yorubas. I thought this was that thread hence my comment above. Yoruba brethen can stick to this non-hateful thread afterall. Enjoy!

And 100+ more companies

In truth, all this rubbish posted here is NOT an appropriate response to what the igbos posted. Naming CEO's, taxi owners, ose gidi, alabukun powder, airport owners, insurance firm owners bla bla bla DO NOT equate to 'what Yaribas have produced'.They dont! None of them is a product worthy of mention neither can they match the indigenous products of the igbos. Not one of the useless names is an indigenous brainy industrial establishment. These One-off products scattered all over foreign land is Not a match for the industrous achievements of the igbos in Enugu.

salford1:

what do ibos produce other than pirated, fake or substandard goods. You people almost killed your own Dora for trying to protect people from substandard nonsense. shame of a nation.Lol.
Even your own people wey get small sense wont ride in those peices of sh*t you call innosoon.

successbridge29:
Richest belong to igbo while education belong to yoruba

Basic123:

This is a big fallacy!

A VERY BIG ONE.

There is a difference between being LOUD and being RICH.

iblawi:


Bring fact not stupid statement from your imagination

ariesbull:
biggest fallacy


In terms of education...Yoruba are the most backward educated in the country...do you want data from Waec, Jamb and statistics ?

Basic123:
Yes,
They are the most backward in the world 😆

You are VERY VERY right.

Mumu

Basic123:
Yes,
They are the most backward in the world 😆

You are VERY VERY right.

ariesbull:
mumu read this and know how backward you guys are

ariesbull:
Kings owners is Leo Stan Eke the owner of Zinox


They sold it to him

iblawi:


Where did you see kings in my post?

Putinofrussia:

Illiterate trader.
Add up the population of the 5 South Eastern states.Find the percentage of out of school children in relation to the population and you will see that SE is very backward indeed.

Now,subtract 11 million Igbos from SE population again,this being those that have escaped to the SW due to poverty according to Dave Umahi,former gov of Ebonyi state.

Look at that small population left and you still have more than 700,000 children out of school.
That is real backwardness.

---

You should more be concerned of how Igbos are slipping into the gutters as even the Hausas push them into the latrine educationally.
Yoruba still reigns.

https://www.nuc.edu.ng/

According to the NUC website which can be accessed seamlessly by any interested researcher,there is now a shift and a takeover by the Northerners as the Igbos are pushed off the sidewalk of Professorship into the 3rd position in the rank of who has the higher number of Professors between the two educational gladiators.

SW still continues to be the stallion and champion of Education in Nigeria as the number of their Professors is almost triple that of the Igbos according to the Directory of full Professors in Nigerian Universities.
Kudos to the gallant Igbos just as the Northerners are also heralded into the second position of Professorial hierarchy in Nigeria.
Welcome..
