PROUDIGBO: Latest updates on construction works at Ebonyi int'l airport. They seem to be moving at breakneck speed and i'm still left wondering where Umahi is getting the funds for all these impressive projects he's delivering!
I like how they use local contractors for these mega projects. However in doing this, health and safety shouldn't be compromised. I noticed the workers aren't properly kitted out in the approriate PPE. Even saw one with barefeet....this is unacceptable! I want to see the project realised, but not at the expense of any of those workers health.
The massive gate section of the terminal that will have the avio-bridges for embarking/disembarking from planes will be separated so local and international passengers don't mix. I reckon when the new Anambra airport wants to commence int'l flight operations, they may have to build a new terminal for this as the present one isn't configured or big enough to handle both local and int'l flights.
The control tower structure looks a bit different from the norm doesn't it?. But then it's Umahi we're talking about here, so we should expect to see that his unique touch show up at some point!
This airport will help catalyse the Ebonyi economy by ten-fold at least. This is why all these roads and flyovers he's building now are a good idea as he's repositioning the state for the expected economic boost it will witness in the coming years.
PROUDIGBO: I believe ALL Nigerian governors need to have a sit down with Umahi to see how they can benefit from his knowledge and maximise use of their own resources. Even those who feel they're comparatively well-off could still benefit and, through implementing cost-saving measures, have even more funds at their disposal for delivering the vision they have for their states.
IGBOSON1: Dude, don’t bring your insecurity and quarrelsome nature to this thread!
What is wrong in anyone of Igbo heritage wanting to fly into Nigeria through the new Ebonyi airport or any other international airport in his region….even if it’s just to check things out and patronise the new airport in its first few months of operation?

naturalman: Which Lagos built Leki port. By the way, I just watched the video on channel, the airport from the look of things may become an abandoned project.. It took Anambra one year to build an airport. It took ebonyi one year to build an airport. But after one year, Ogun airport is still at earthwork stage
