There is nothing bad in doing bambiala for the benefits of your people





I FIND THIS INSULTING. HOW WILL YOU SAY A STATE OF EBONYI STATUS DOES NOT DESERVE AN AIRPORT?



Umahi is doing bambiala to develop his state. what is your Governor doing?

He is right. It is a misplaced priority and white elephant project.
If you understand how poor Ebonyi state is then you would know that this project shouldn’t have been a priority. There is an airport in Enugu already.

Do you just comment for the sake of it. Bambiala or not, Ebonyi indigenes will benefit from it.

How does airport benefit the average ebonyi woman selling goods in the market who has been looking for loan to expand her business? The only people benefitting are the ruling class who would fly into the airport with their private jets come election time to campaign, they can't take the roads because of insecurity and the poor state of the roads.

Ebonyi state governor Umahi has written to president Buhari for funds to be able to complete the airport project he embarked on in the state.

The project appears to have been stalled due to resources. This prompted the state governor to appeal to president Muhammadu Buhari for financial assistance.

GOVERNMENT OF EBONYI STATE OF NIGERIA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GOVERNMENT HOUSE, P.M.B. 0020, ...AUK!
Gov/EBS/FE/2.17/I/312 September 2021
Senator Hadi Sirika Hon. Minister of Aviation Federal Secretariat Complex Maitama. Abuja.

RE: NOTIFICATION OF MY LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT SEEKING HIS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PURCHASE OUR AIRPORT EQUIPMENT.

1. Please find an attached letter to Mr. President on the above subject matter

2. We are building one of the largest airport in Nigeria using concrete to build our runway.

3. We intend to complete this project by May 2022 but we do not have money to buy the airport equipment hence our appeal to Mr. President for Ten Billion Naira (N10.000,000,000.00) to purchase the equipment.

4. We shall handover the airport to the Federal Government on completion to concession and supervise.

5. PRAYER I plead with you for your kind help in recommending to Mr. President to assist us when Mr. President refers our letter to you. Recall all your assistance to us towards the realization of this project. This your latest anticipated assistance will help to complete the airport and will allow Mr. President and you to commission the project to the credit of Mr. President administration.

Accept as always, the assurances of my highest regards.

Governor, Ebonyi State

Wahala dey

Truly Umahi was a maverick to have accomplished all he did in Ebonyi state. Having said that, we must say the truth that he was also a crazy megalomaniac to be thinking of building the largest terminal building in Nigeria, even larger than Abuja international airport! Who would use such vast space of terminal building? Chickens and lizards?

Common sense dictates that your first terminal-1 is a small one and from there you could build a much larger second terminal-2, which could take many years and accommodate the growing population using the airport. You don't build the size of terminal-2 as your terminal-1 when you are not even sure that the airport would be that viable.


It's even worse when you know that you don't have the money for such a megalomaniac terminal building, and the worst disservice to Ebonyians is to have such a project ABANDONED after all the billions sunk into it!

Nevertheless, Buhari should please give Umahi the money for the sake of millions of Fulanis living in Ebonyi and transacting their business in the state. It will make the cost & speed of connecting Katsina to Ebonyi very cheap and fast.

WAS AIRPORT THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT EBONYI STATE SHOULD HAVE?

They are heavily into Agriculture e.g Abakaliki rice I am wondering why they should be investing in an Airport?

EBONYI STATE SHOULD INVEST IN AGRICULTURE not airport.

Whether they call it CARGO AIRPORT or not?

The same thing goes to Anambra state, they have the Asaba airport nearby, Anambra state still went ahead to be securing airport for the state not minding the financial pressure it will have on their state treasury.

with all the business people and one of the largest markets in africa in onitsha, you say Anambra does not need an airport? even when the FG blocked all the ports in the south and left lagos open, you still think businesses in Anambra do not need some fast means of getting their goods to the necessary locations? are you comparing Anambra state and Ebonyi? Even Imo no reach Anambra, talkless. please carry this talk and go away.

Give a Lebanese that same N10B and he will be sending back N10B as profits every month after 2 years. What is that airport going to generate in terms of revenue?

He will get the money.
He is buhari boy.

He was signaled by the presidency to ask for the money.
If you join apc, you get some benefit. Of course.

The airport will be part of buhari's legacy as well.

And even if buhari give him the funds to complete it,It will still not be profitable.

How does he fight poverty, if not by building infrastructures that will bring both employment and innovation to the state?

Don't find it insulting.Airport is not motor park you build anywhere.How many people in Ebonyi can afford to travel by air....


Perhaps,many airports builts in states richer than ebonyi are not even profitable lets alone ebonyi state airport.
You are right. Ibadan, Kebbi, Gombe airports are less patronized.

I had expected Umahi to consolidate and expand the solid mineral deposits which the State is quite rich in. Limestone, bauxite, iron ore, granite, tin etc can be harnessed in huge commercial quantities thereby creating millions of job to teeming Ebonyi and Igbo youths. Well, let's see how the airport would fare upon completion. I still maintain that Ebonyi State doesn't need an airport at the moment.
