selemempe: You cannot spell his name that is very much in the media. You guys have sworn to hate Amaechi for life. Suit yourself. But it is a lesson for your likes. Regardless of your political leaning, you must lend support to the authorities so they can provide. The minute you begin to present resistance, you and not the authorities would suffer. |

GavelSlam:amechi should go and ask himself why all his people hate him. He would soon be irrelevant, then we would look back and check if he has any legacy projects in the old eastern region |

selemempe: He would be as irrelevant as Frank Nweke Jr or Ben Bruce. At the end, the world is a stage. You play your part and leave. You are the one feeling bitter. Amaechi is an achiever. |

Speaking on Channels Television, the minister said that work was ongoing and if there was sufficient funding to complete repairs on the dilapidated runway, the Federal government would reopen it before Christmas. Mark this thread..that Airport will not completed on that date. No project in the north or SW is tied to availability of funds. ...people will start to blame ipob now! 3 Likes |

“Work is ongoing. If everything is equal and we get all of the funding, we intend to reopen it before Christmas. Work does not necessarily mean the bringing of equipment into the airport to begin the reconstruction of that particular airport or runway; work entails the planning, mobilising people for work... The Federal government through the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), issued a shutdown date on August 24, 2019, for rehabilitation of the runway and upgrade of its facilities to meet international standard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why didn't you complete the planning before closing the airport? It is either black people are mental disturbed or this is another plan to punish the Igbos as usual. 2 Likes |

GavelSlam:am not bitter at all. I am in the comfort of obodo oyinbo looking at the mess u and them politicians are creating in the name of playing politics. I have never ever hated an hausa or yoruba man in my life. Even supported the terrorist in aso rock for 2015. Then he won and told me and igbos who voted for him not to expect much from him. Reckless and irresponsible talk from a leader...but oh well am over all that now. God bless america 2 Likes 1 Share |

FFK was once aviation Minister. Maybe he never visited this airport while he was minister however, he is beloved by IPOB because he joins them in abusing Buhari and that abuse has not advanced anybody including him, FFK in any way shape or form. 3 Likes 1 Share |

selemempe: Hahaha. And because you are in Anerica, you cannot be bitter? Your tone says otherwise. I would wager that use of such terms as terrorist, using all manner of invectives on Amaechi, you most likely did not vote Buhari. Never get too comfortable because you are away. The South African experience should humble you. By the way, I put it to you you are not in Amarica. |

InvertedHammer: [/b]To further butress your point[b] December Reopening Not Realistic – Source There are strong indications that the December 2019 date for reopening of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu State, may not be feasible. Investigations by The Guardian revealed that more than two weeks after the airport was shut to traffic to make way for the repair of its runway and general rehabilitation, work is yet to commence even as there is no budget to that effect. It was further gathered that even the contracts outlined were yet to be awarded as a result of the Federal Government’s inability to decide, which construction firm (between Julius Berger and PW) was suited for the job, scope of work to be embarked upon, and the road repairs in the zone aimed at cushioning the effect of the closure. The airport was closed on August 24. The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sarika, told reporters after his meeting with southeast governors, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and other stakeholders in Enugu, last weekend, that the airport’s runway would be rehabilitated and extended, damaged tarmac rebuilt, and new landing equipment with night landing facility installed, but failed to disclose the contract sum and who among the contractors had been awarded the job. Southeast governors on their own did not hide their preference for Julius Berger following alleged poor job earlier done on the runway by PW. A competent source in the Aviation Ministry told The Guardian that funding may delay the work as about N6.5b is needed to rehabilitate and expand the runway alone, while another N1.5b will be required to fix the runway lights and bring it to international standard. The source added that while the runway would be expanded from three kilometres to about 3.6 kilometres, the fencing of the airport to enhance security may take an additional N100m. The source further disclosed that the delay in the takeoff of works was compounded by the level of disrepair on alternative routes suggested by the Federal Government for air users in the zone to get to Owerri, Asaba and Port Harcourt airports. The alternative routes in the South East, which, would serve as palliatives to the airport’s closure are completely impassable, without immediate intervention, they would not serve that purpose. Already governors of the zone have written to the Ministry of Works and Housing alerting on the dangers posed by the alternative routes and called for immediate responses. The letter written on September 5, was signed by the Director-General of Southeast Governors’ Forum, Prof. Simeon Ortuanya. It had highlighted the current state of the roads, frustrations that users face and called for emergency repairs. Meanwhile, governors of the zone have inaugurated a Project Supervision and Implementation Committee to oversee the palliative measures suggested by the federal government. The committee led by Chris Okoye, Commissioners of works from the five states; Prof. Fred Eze representing Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and Archbishop Fred Ede, representing the clergy. https://m.guardian.ng/news/no-budget-for-repairs-of-akanu-ibiam-airport/ 2 Likes |
