The Federal Government on Tuesday declared that it would double the number of airports across Nigeria by 2023. Nigeria has about 31 airports currently. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria operates 26 of the facilities, while others are largely run by states. Responding to a question on airports which the government intends to develop in 2021 as captured in the budget of the Federal Ministry of Aviation, the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said a lot of work would be done across airports in Nigeria. He disclosed this at the Abuja headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Finance during the presentation of the 2021 budget. Sirika said, “Since this administration came in, we drew our roadmap in trying to improve on civil aviation and transportation in general. We understood the importance of air connectivity. “So we believe investment in this sector will do very well for our economy. Before the end of 2023, we would have doubled the number of airports in Nigeria.” He added, “We have a saying that one-mile-long road leads to nowhere, but one-mile-long runway leads to everywhere. “We understand the importance of aviation infrastructure as a critical component for the working of our economy and they are also national security assets.” The minister said airports were being built in various locations in Nigeria and that more were in the works. “So, all over the place, airports are being built in Nigeria which is a sign of growth for us,” Sirika added. https://punchng.com/fg-will-double-nigerias-airports-by-2023-minister/ 1 Like |

BigSarah:It is so okay having as many airports as possible in a country to aid transportation of goods & services, humans and information. It also helps in increasing employment opportunities. But those above are in sane climes. Constructing the airports isn’t the problem but maintaining the airports and equipping them with modern facilities for their efficiencies and profitability. The airports on ground aren’t perfectly and efficiently maintained, the minister is thinking of adding more problems 1 Like |

BigSarah: Dummy. What percentage of Nigerians are ''jobless''? Do you know? I bet you've never researched the figure in your life. Simply blabbing off the top of your head like an illiterate. Most Nigerians of working age are not 'jobless', so kindly employ your brain before typing. Plus, are you more ''oppressed'' than people in China? Go there and you will see what oppression is. Go there and try 'EndsARS' demonstrations, and see what happens. Yet they are still building airports till tomorrow. FAAN even said a only Lagos, ph, Abj, imo ,Kano airport is profitable... This administration likes profitless ventures So we should only have 5 airports since only 5 are ''profitable''. That ''profit'', will you smell any of it? Better be glad they are building infrastructure you and your kids can use in future to travel around and do business, instead of criticising stupidly for the sake of criticising, as is the habit of so many of you on this forum. |

Elvictor: I guess the thousands of kilometres of roads being built and renovated across the nation are also ''for the rich''. Mumu people. You don't even understand the value of modern transportation in a nation's economic development. Useless, wasted education. |

Amotolongbo: How many airports in Nigeria have you been in in the last 6 months? I bet the answer is 0 to 2. You do NOT know their general condition, and are only assuming they are not being maintained, because that is the stereotype that has been drummed into your head from childhood. So stop being a dummy, and talk based on your recent personal experiences, or shut it. |

Wiseandtrue: If you have no food, GO TO YOUR VILLAGE AND ASK FOR LAND, AND TILL THAT LAND, MAKE FOOD, EAT, AND SELL. USELESS PEOPLE. Buhari should bring food to your house. The man has been BEGGING all of you. ''GO TO THE FARM. Go into agro-allied businesses.'' The greater the food surplus, the more prices will fall. SIMPLE ECONOMICS. But no. Everybody sitting in their flat or duplex waiting for Buhari to work magic with the TINY oil and gas money earnings of the country. Was it not the other day we read that 56% of the next budget is going into paying salaries, debt, pensions etc? MAKE UNA NO GO FARM |

youngeagle: Are you aware there has been an upgrade in virtually all airports nationwide? What ''world standards'' are you looking for? Stop trying to compete with Germany and the USA. Their annual budgets are 2.1 trillion and 6.7 trillion dollars respectively, compared to your nation's annual budget of 35 billion dollars. Your number 1 issue as a nation is economic expansion to provide greater national revenues and raise GDP. Building airports is a step in that direction. Making them all ''world class standards'' is an unnecessary prestige indulgence. |
