It is becoming glaringly clear that Umahi borrowed and wasted billions of naira on an airport that all analysts proved wasn’t going to be viable. Today it is now clear to everyone that umahi wasted borrowed billions on ego trip project when most ebonyi people are poor, uneducated and hawking almost everywhere in Nigeria.

Poverty rate in ebonyi is over 80%. when the idea of the airport was first muted, some analysts advised that umahi should use the said funds for the project and invest heavily in human resource development and education, but he shoved it aside, today no Nigerian airline want to fly to ebonyi simply because it is a very unviable route for airlines.

What do you suggest for the present administration in ebonyi state as regards to the abandoned airport?


Dave Umahi personal Airport...

Airlines have been landing at the airport since Umahi started paying for 2 flights per week from Lagos and Abuja and anybody can fly for free on those flights.
Umahi has also gotten FG to take over the running of the Airport and I believe PMB did so before he left office.

If Tinubu makes Umahi Aviation minister then problem solved cheesy

I wonder why he wasted funds building an airport in Abakiliki when Enugu airport is nearby. Money he could have channelled into something more useful to the people. Anambra airport too is a waste because Enugu and Asaba airports are closeby. Stupid governors, even my supreme court Governor knows better.

Same thing I said on another thread. Some people abused me. Airports being built by these governors are just to embezzle money from the construction contracts. Enugu airport is just 1 hour 30 mins away without traffic
Yiu say 1hr 30mins?
It's 45 mins from the state capital

To be frank even the Anambra airport is unnecessary while ASABA airport and IMO airport is functional
ASABA to anywhere in Anambra doesn't take up to an hour and thirty minutes

Same thing with the Ebonyi Mall. Very fine big masterpiece built by Umahi.
Last time I was there early January this year, it was just empty...few spaces were rented out but no buyers. Even the car park was empty. I was amazed.
Building infrastructure without building the people is a wasted effort.
If this current Ebonyi State government doesn't build the people, those infrastructures will rot away

Anambra airport a waste Wonder how you people talk at times

Airport that it’s activities involves both day and night flights with best landing systems

Enugu, Imo and of course Asaba should close their airports because Anambra own is the most needed airport in southeast region

Anambra will need another airport, latest before 15years from now

Ebonyi is not economically viable to have such an airport suited in it. Even Abia having airport in Aba will be more better

The Said Airport, Is Yet To Be Completed. Physical Structures are done and dusted but other Installations, e.g, Main Installations on the Tower, Run Ways etc, are yet to be Installed, because the New Administration, have Refused to Pay Contractors that completed their Jobs, and those that have completed to the Contracts AGREED TERMS or Reached a Milestone to receive FUNDS.

Saying that No Airlines, want to fly that Route is an Error. Thank you!
