The only governor in the south East
God bless you sir

Where is this governor even getting the money to do all these massive projects?

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" ~Chinese proverb.

For some of you myopic people asking why my state should need an airport. Let it be built first. God will give us the means to afford it when we visit home to see mom and dad.

Unlike some other state governors, he isn't pocketing state allocation. If all state governors used 80-90 percent of the funds they receive to do work, Nigeria would be more beautiful than Dubai

EzeNri:

Ebonyi is passenger airport while Anambra is a cargo.

I wish Abia will jettison any airport project and focus on Azumini seaport

does abia state have access to the sea??

Obindigbo:

does abia state have access to the sea??

Yes!

Okeyc230:
How i wish plane will one day depart Anambra and land in Ebonyi

It will happen one day.

OgunLaakaye:
The under-dog is now the lead

Ebonyi that used to be the least in the South-East, is now even far ahead of Anambra

Kudos!

The acclaimed 3rd class Igbo`s are going places

The only people calling Ebonyians ‘3rd class Igbo’ are bigots like you seeking to try and sow the seeds of discord and division amongst Ndigbo!

PROUDIGBO:

Yes!

OK.......thanks

who asked you?

No, it's Cargo/passenger airport.
It was actually the initiative of the former governor, Elechi who happened to be Umahi's boss.
He wanted a Cargo airport that will supply the Int'l market, Abakaliki, opposite Ochudo Centenary city.

Congratulations to them all!

after completion we shall tell

Airport is now the yardstick of development in Nigeria, even states that doesn't need nor deserve airports are building it just to quench their thirst for rather unnecessary infrastructures.

Airports, railroad are all necessary infrastructure for any state or country, so yes they are a yardstick of development anywhere in the world.


Some of these states are building it for future purposes, not just to finish it now. Thats how project are executed in most foreign countries.

MansoryMX:
This comment might sound dumb, crazy and stupid. One major reason these politicians are so keen on this Airport is because of La cream girls who won’t mind flying through Ebonyi airport even though they will be going to Enugu from Lagos. That way they will branch government house first to chop prick and collect some cash.

Your head is partially there.
Most Nigerians are blinded to the fact that these airport projects only benefit the 0.5% and nobody else.

So i am not abnormal after all

edoairways:

That governor has foresight. With the level of infrastructures in place, high level of poverty will reduce. Next governor wouldn't stress on capital development rather human infrastructure.

I swear

EMMY76:

he does not waste money on politics or looting as much as other governors

Are airports such profitable ventures, especially in this period of credit crunch?

mmsen:
Everywhere airport. How many people in that impoverished state fly?

Ebonyi is one of the most developed states in Nigeria

Learn before talking you should go there and see for yourself

We need a video of the runway..

And I am sure this guy uses over 90% of local content o..

Obindigbo:

Azumini.

The distance between Azumini and Atlantic is shorter than the distance between Apapa sea port and the sea

Yes forget those stats you need to go see for yourself maybe you would be as shocked as I was when I went there last month

My mouth was literally wide open with shock

This country does have some hidden gems indeed

PROUDIGBO:

Say the truth and it shall set you free. Me and you know they are regarded as 3rd class Igbo`s

Just like an Ikwerre man will disregard an Etche man by calling him Igbo

Gabs7:

true. He uses the state ministry of works

Where exactly did you go and what did you see that 'shocked' you?

It keeps paining me that there is no attempt at building an airport in Ado Ekiti. The governors they have had are versed in speaking bogus English.

mmsen:

Work

The scope of development for the state is very impressive. You should take a trip there even if for a weekend.

Ebonyi state is amazing
