Ogbeni Rauf always proposing.... Town wey no get road sef wan build airport!

Ok o

Osun state people whey neva chop... Na dem go get stomach to fly #smh

LWKMD, when their allocation has been reduced to 150 million naira monthly. Aregbe keeps deceiving these people with phantom projects. Even Ibadan and Akure airstrips are not viable yet they talking of building another one in the rustic town of Oshogbo. Lets's even assume that by a stroke of miracle that it was built, who is going to use the airport? The governor alone or skull miners and agbo sellers Iberibe Dagbukwaa unu there. LOL.

White elephant project

Make sense

My broda it make no sense at all.,

I am from Benue state but I don't like ppl talking about that state because it doesn't exist in terms of government doing something to at least take the state to some standard, we just have people there disguising as governors, senators etc and be looting anyhow without anyone saying anything, if not for some reasons I would have said that state stopped existing from the day it was created

Benue State Governor said he was going to build a cargo airport..a cargo airport in a state with almost zero commercial activities... well well well.graders and bulldozers were brought to site..cleared an area of about 200 square metres..the start off ceremony was elaborate and colourful,and the rest as they say is history..I just hope this wouldn't be the case in Osun...Gov Ortom is just a nightmare to benue state

op what kind of question r u asking, I fact all states in Nigeria deserves an international airport unless you don't like development

I doubt whether this airport will be viable for passenger travel. It could be useful for cargo operations, cos that will certainly decongest the MMIA.

Oshogbo airport is a waste of money..upgrade d Ibadan airport to serve osun n ekiti states.. Whose cities are within 1-2hrs drive from ibadan.. D money shud be used to upgrade d road n rail service in osun state...

You just said the simple solution!

Dead on arrival

Hunger with airport

This is a state project, wetin concern Ibadan? if Oyo state like, they should leave it to decay....

This must be fake news.

Osun with all its financial wahala?

Most airports in 9ja are under-used. Airline business is hardly viable in 9ja because of too many huddles.

Where will passengers be flying from & to? UK, USA, SA, Canada, France or where?

This is one of the problems of creating states anyhow. A superb upgraded Airport in Ibadan should serve Osun & beyond very well.

Asaba also built an airport when a nice mixed passenger-cargo airport at Onitsha (with two or three nice bridges over the Niger) & an upgraded Benin Airport would be enough.

Great

Only good thing about this airport is that finally an international airport will be named after a Yoruba man after many years of marginalization �

Osun need Amala airport

Misplaced priority....... The man at the helms of affairs in that state is daft

Hmnnn not a daft but wicked..

from what I heard, d airport is been built mainly to serve as aircraft maintenance as most airline do dia aircraft maintenance outside naija. I believe dat if dey can truly stick to dis, den dey will b on point.

as i opened this news page,dunno,i yawned 3 times as i opened this news page,dunno,i yawned 3 times

This is unnecessary in a state that is already overburdened with loans. Investment in agriculture and mining of solid minerals will boost the economy better. What's the volume of production that requires urgent airlift? The underutilised Ibadan airport is about one and a half hours away. Besides there's functional railway service passing through several towns in Osun. Aregbesola seems to be focused on huge capital projects which have not translated into improved economy for Osunlites. Even his education policy has brought more confusion than progress.

Really sad times for Osun.

That may be a good idea on paper but there's no guarantee that the airlines will patronise Osun for maintenance.

Myopic set of rulers calling themselves leaders... so it is the airport that will feed osun people abi? mugu

So it's a crime for osun and Ekiti to have their own seperate airport. It's a great development to South West. There's nothing bad if all the states in South have International Airport. The money that meant for Ojo should not be spent on Aina...

Proposed for almost a decade now,will it be build after life?
