Do we have government..God save Nigeria ...

Why can't these Arab countries buy Northern Nigeria so that we can rest

they can sale the airport for all I care... as its stands its of no use to the command man.

with the countries mentioned nigeria will be widely open to jihadist, arms smuggling will be greatly increased and a lot of activities alien to us would be in.

Oh my Lord, Nigeria for sale?

is airport included?

the should also negotiate on how take Buhari

I feel bad reading this kind of news. Why do we have to depend on other countries to manage our resources. The FG cannot manage anything because this country is not structured and some disgruntled elements are kicking against structuring the country because of personal gains.
This country must be STRUCTURED!

Buhari's negative achievements keep growing by the day sha !

Well, if it reduces corruption and impunity by our uniform men and women at the airport, then it's okay by me.

hmmm may God help us

its like being in the coils of a constrictor. God help us!

Some stakeholders in the aviation sector, including members of the National Assembly, are worried that investors from some Middle East countries are expressing interest in the planned concession of Nigerian airports.


It was learnt that the interests thus far received from countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are bothering the stakeholders because of the security implication for Nigeria and alleged “northern agenda” currently put forward either by coincidence or deliberately in the concession buildup.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) recently granted approval for the concession of the four international airports in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano. The approval, currently being worked out by the Ministry of Aviation, is the first phase of the plan to concession all the 22 Federal Government-owned airports nationwide.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, last week recounted the gains of President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent visit to Turkey and among the mentioned is the expression of interest by Turkish investors.
Besides Turkey, Saudi and Qatari investors have also shown interest in the multi-million dollar concession arrangement.At one of the public hearings held last Thursday, members of the National Assembly joint committee on aviation got worried about the antecedent of a country like Turkey that has lately been embroiled in political unrest, as well as serving as a channel through which arms and ammunition were smuggled into Nigeria.
While the Turkish authorities have denied having a hand in the arms-trafficking saga, aviation experts are wary of future transactions with investors with Turkish interests.
A member of a civil society organisation, who was at the hearing, said some lawmakers were of the view that if the biddings were restricted to the middle east, then it will not get the buy-in of Nigerians who “will see it as coloured by a northern and religious agenda.”
Aviation union members present at the meeting said it was to prevent the airports from falling into the wrong hands that they demanded to be part of the concession process for transparency. The unions were, however, happy that the Federal Government has promised to ensure transparency by involving them.
On the implication of such concerns for the concession plan, aviation security consultant, Group Capt. John Ojikutu (rtd), said he was as disturbed as the lawmakers, though he was quick to add that it was still early to conclude.
Ojikutu said that “whereas we cannot but be skeptical with the biddings, expression of interest is also coming from Europe and Canada, and all need to be patient.”
He said from his conversation with the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, there were several hurdles in the concession process and it was less likely that the wrong bidders would be able to grab a pie in the exercise.

Ojikutu, who is also the Secretary General of the Aviation Safety Round Table Initiative (ASRTI), said: “I am as worried as you, no doubt about that. The National Assembly is also as worried. I think, from what I’ve heard, the minister too is very cautious with what he is doing. Just the way he handled the Abuja airport’s runway is the way he is handling this.

Na aso rock remain

I hope that these countries in the Middle East are not planning to turn Nigeria into a haven for terrorists.


The Federal Government should not be in a hurry to hand our Airports to just any country.

mebad:
Only Airports ? Cant they just buy the country as a whole ?

Lol

Mckandre:
is airport included?

nop, cause i lost hope in anything nigeria.

Initially they wanted to sale our national assets esp.the NLNG and National Art Theatre despite claims of recovering staggering amount of stolen monies but back down when Nigerians reacted against it.
Now the new sensation is to sell our major airports-portal of entry into Nigeria not only to so called investors but Islamic countries.Please is anyone thinking what I'm thinking.Nigeria needs a revolution now against these useless so called leaders.

Welcome development

We hav gotten to stages whereby we can't manage our property any longer...let our next presidential candidate be of white without Africans blood.l would surely vote him.

Here's a look at some of Qatar's largest assets around the world:

U.K.

Qatar has so far invested over £35bn in the UK with additional £5bn coming over the next 5 year for highly needed infrastructure.
It owns more properties in London than the Queen and the Mayor Office.
In London, Qatar-backed entities have purchased a number skyscrapers, including Canary Wharf, HSBC Tower, and The Shard.
Qatar bought U.K. department store, Harrods back in 2010.
Qatar raised its stake in British Airways owner IAG to 20 percent and purchased a 20 percent stake in London Heathrow last year.

France

Qatar Sports Investments owns Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.

U.S.

In New York, Qatar's investment arm bought nearly a 10 percent stake in, Empire State Realty Trust, the owners of the Empire State Building, last year. The skyscraper was recently lit up with Qatari flag colors to commemorate the 10th anniversary of flights on Qatar Airways between the U.S. and Doha.
A Qatari media group, BeIN, purchased Miramax Studios last year for an undisclosed amount.
The fund has also invested in Uber and recently announced plans to open an office in Silicon Valley to invest more into U.S.-based tech firms.

Singapore

In Singapore, QIA purchased one of the well-known Asia Square towers from BlackRock for $2.5 billion. It was the largest office transaction in Singapore's history.

Countries that are by far richer than Nigeria are hustling for Qatar investments in critical areas of their economies, some dumb-heads in Nigeria are busy reading religious and sectional interest into foreign investments drive. SMH

SmellingAnus:
countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are the ones interested....

I reserve my comments cos I don't want to believe that we are about to import terrorism

these countries are also fighting terrorism.

Well, you skipped Enugu as usual but we assure you that we'll as usual without showing cowardice, resist any Islamic country managing Akanu Ibiam Airport. When the time to concession Enugu Airport comes, prepare your Python dancers. We can only, I mean only accept Chinese but not others who are also battling skye terrorism in their countries. And Osinbajo will say ''nobody can islamize Nigeria''. Once your exit and entry points are manned by such religious bigots, your life and freedom becomes controlled by them.

This daura relic would soön sell nigeria,their daft zombies wont use their brain to check the rising debt profile of this otondo govt.

TRUTH2020:
OFCOURSE THE ISLAMIC ZOO IS OPEN TO FELLOW ISLAMIC BRETHERN BECAUSE WHEN THEY COME HERE AS WHITE THEY ARE AUTOMATIC GOD RICH OR POOR THATZ A ZOOLIGICAL BLACK MAN FOR U.

you are a daft animal

These terrorists Moslems are at it again! All Moslems are terrorists

If any middle eastern country will come in, I only prays its UAE, all others should be trashed

When is naija gonna be on OLX...?

While they are auctioning naija, they should also include Buhari and all the political class in this country in the deal.

This country is a sinking ship.

Eyanmukaila:
the only and available time to change this insanity and bring hope back alive in this country is 2019.no more recycled or present politicians comeback, otherwise, Nigeria is a forgotten nation.

are u saying u don't want to articulate 2019?��������If no is d answer his goons will be sad oooo...Forget the story the voters in diz con3 are destined slaves with slutish mindsets..

When we can't manage it, let others who can, have it Abi na until our Airports turn to scrap like our refineries before den go let go? Haba

“From the look of things now, they have not left the level of getting the consultants of about three or four to package things together. When they get to that stage, there must be a stakeholders’ meeting, and there would be. It is not only the concession, but also the national carrier, maintenance facility and aerotropolis that are being packaged.
“So, it is too early to start speculating because in any case, all these things will still have to go through the infrastructure concession commission, the PPP, Ministry of Justice and then the Federal Executive Council for approval.

“But in lieu of the security concerns, I have advised them to focus on concession of the terminals, cargo sections and car parks among others, but not the aeronautical side. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has even warned African countries since 2009 not to concession aeronautical side in the light of security issues around us,” Ojikutu said.
