And no single Airport in the South East except cargo Airport.

This is the one built by hopeless governors in your region after borrowing 30 billion


Keep workshops

Atouke:

Industrlization is a process not a destination.
The process has started in Akwa ibom.
Once our ports are ready for easy evacuation it will speed up the process.
Air Port, about to be updated to international with cargo handling facilities,
Seaport about to commences construction.
Several ventures already started, foreign investors coming in gradually.
Go read up on BUA refinery, OCP fertilizers, sterling oil refinery. Dangote gas pipeline that will Channel gas from ibeno in Aks passing through all Nigerdelta states to Europe via morroco.

By the way do you know any state in Nigeria, that has more accessible and standard road networks within its territory than Akwa ibom.
All the structures that encourages industrial revolution is Bing gradually put in place in Akwa ibom.

I appreciate your tone of response unlike the regular Nairaland tribal bigots.
my thought was that with these infrastructures in place already, there should have been visible translation to the indigenes of the state

SmallDick99:
Akwa Ibom will be the first developed state in a retructured nigeria; beating the over hype Lagos to it's glory.

This I have seen!!

You're very much correct, Lagos would be like India Mumbai that smells all year round

How is it the biggest aviation project in W/Africa? Ghana’ s Terminal 3, Kotoka International Airport, Accra gulped close $300m and can process over 6m passengers a yr.

STOP TALKING NONSENSE.

I said simply make another airport apart from Lagos a real international airport like other sane countries not just by name as is done here in Nigeria and see what will happen.

What other aviation business takes place in kottoka airport in ghana, outside passenger traffic?

In Akwa ibom there's a maintenance hangar, for aircraft maintenance - big bussiness

There is an anchor airline- ibom air state owned- big bussiness.

There is facility for cargo management which ibom air will support- big business.

And there is plans to build an aviation training school, where pilot can get their commercial liscence, right there at the airport.

Tell me what business are in kotoka airport besides passenger traffic handling. Which by the way the new terminal in uyo is designed for 1million pax a year.

Aviation is not only about passenger handling only
If you've ever been to uyo airport, at the entrance of the airport you will see a large Industrial farm, with about 15 gigantic green houses. Those green houses produces, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers etc in commercial quantities, if capacity is expanded, that's another stream of income, that can easily be packed on a plane and arrives any destination around the world fresh, not to talk of our seafood.
