How can a man who refused to pay gratuities since 2017 and refused to do any road since then not be cautioned.

All he does is travel to USA and spend 3 weeks and come to anambra and spend a month and then he is off again.

As for those hailing him for building airport, why not tell what he did in healthcare, education and agriculture. He inherited big sums of money but is now leaving terrible dept.

The amount Peter Obi used to clear pensions and gratuity is 35 billion naira and that amount could have built 3 airports.

When soludo takes over we will see more

Season one is about to start. Dear IPOB miscreants both online and offline, your lord and personal saviour Fayose is about to be humiliated, kindly get ready with your keypads for the online war. Sambo Dasuki is still in jail, El-Zakzaky is still in jail despite different Courts setting them free. A man that can lock up his brothers and throw the key of their jail room inside the River Niger, when such a man lays hands on other people's brother, blood may flow. Where is Cownu Nnamdi?

President Goodluck Jonathan has promised
to go on exile if he fails to build the Second
Niger Bridge before completing his term in
2015.
The Nigerian leader made the promise in his
remarks at a Town Hall Meeting held
yesterday in the commercial city of Onitsha
as part of activities marking his one-day visit
to Anambra State. During the visit, Jonathan
commissioned several projects, including
the oil production facilities of Orient
Petroleum at Aguleri, the massive SABMiller
Brewery at Onitsha and the Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu-Ojukwu Gateway in Onitsha.
The issue of Second Niger Bridge naturally
came up during the Town Hall Meeting since
Jonathan had during his campaigns for the
2011 presidential ballot promised to
construct the bridge if elected President.
Experts have warned that the existing
bridge constructed in 1965 may collapse
any time in view of the heavy traffic.
Speaking yesterday at the Town Hall
Meeting, the Nigerian leader said that “when
the first bridge was built, it was during the
presidency of Nnamdi Azikiwe; the second
Niger bridge will be built under the
presidency of Azikiwe Jonathan.” To further
reassure the people, the President said he
would go on exile on the completion of his
term if he does not build the bridge.
To convince his audience that serious
efforts are being made to build the bridge,
invited Works Minister Mike Onolomemen
and Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo
Iweala to brief the people on what was
being done about the construction of the
bridge. Onolomemen reeled out the
technical details about the design of the
bridge and the companies bidding to
construct it, while Okonjo-Iweala unfolded
details about the financial arrangements
being made to construct the bridge.
At the end of the meeting, some of the
participants, among them businessman
Prince Arthur Eze were so thrilled that they
urged President Jonathan to seriously
consider seeking re-election in 2015.

The need to stamp Cross River nay Nigeria on the world tourism map is the major driving force behind the ongoing construction of the Obudu International Passenger and Cargo Airport, so says Cross River state governor, Professor Ben Ayade.

The Obudu Airport is situated close to the iconic Obudu Mountain Resort.

Ayade expressed optimism that the airport project will be completed in a record time.

According to him, "it is important for Nigerians to know why we are constructing the Obudu International Passenger and Cargo Airport in Obudu.

"We want to make the issues of tourism in Nigeria start and end in Cross River State with Obudu Ranch Resort, Honeymoon Resort and the airport as a flagship.

"That is why we are building the airport with 5.6 runway, the longest in Nigeria to enable both tourism and business thrive around the Ranch environment with the airport"

On progress of work at the airport, the governor said: "We started March 2021 and the stage we are now is impressive with major requirements on ground ,and we are almost done in terms of other utilities like the observation tower which is at the last stage.

"The fire fighting and utility buildings are at the last stage and the main terminal building almost completed .

"The cutting of the hard terrain of the airport is by no means a small job and the federal government should come and look at what we are doing with serious attention.”

Describing the airport as the "link between the South and Northern Nigeria just as the Superhighway and Bakassi deep seaport", he invited the federal ministry of Aviation to the site to access the progress of work.

The Cross River state Governor commended the Minister for Aviation, Hadi Sirika for promising to support the cargo wing of the airport with facilities when operational.

Also speaking, Senior Special Adviser On Technical Matters to the governor, Eric Akpo assured that given the level of work at the airport, the April 2022 completion target was achievable.
