wonderful. a quiet achiever unlike the noisey toutish governor

Hope this is not misplaced priority in this COVID-19 period

Kudus Gov.Emmanuel Udom.But is this venture by the state government under a lease/ PPP? Well, this is what it means to walk the talk. Nigeria Airways should have thrive like this but institutionalized corruption killed it.

More pics

nice one from akwa ibom governor

Economically, this is not right at this time but the order was placed before convid19. Investment into agric would have bn better. Oh! I heard he has invested a lot in that too

Not relevant at times like this

k

A state is doing this and the FG can't successfully revive Nigeria Air, but they can spend millions to unveil logo...

Ok

I must move to this state after Coro,,,best state ever

Please akwa ibom, manage the ones available for now

The airline business is the same story everywere. They are at LOST and sending staffs home, worldwide.
anyways, Kudus to IBOM and the power of development at this meltdown period.

AirPLANE business is ricky at this of the world.

Definately no one will be employ at this time coz of scarces resources

This is not the right time of this type of investment unless of it was done before the coro palaver

With the aviation industry being hard hit, return on investment will be low.

Good

I don't think there's much money in aviation in Nigeria. Poor people might out number middle class 10:1 or more.

Nigerians will rather take an 8 hours bus trip to Lagos than take a 1 hour flight.

Nice
