The airport should have the required length od runway and electronic instrument landing system before Obiano leaves office. Once the airport is generating its own income, even if the next governor decides not to fund it, it will gradually fund itself to complete the taxiways, airfield lighting and terminal building.

Obiano's primary job now is to make sure the airport becoame operational before he leaves office to ensure it can begin to fund it's own development. Albeit slowly.

ChimaAdeoye:
Airports are super capital intensive that even rich western countries can develop them in one single swing. The development of airports are phased over so many years so that the resources generated through operation of the airports are ploughed into upgrading of the infrastructure at the airport. To develop this airport to its full specification, the development must be phased over a few years. The Phase 1 is the very important to get it operational and begin to generate resources that can be used for its further development.

Phase 1: By April 2021: Completion of 3.5KM Runway, 12 stories high Control Tower and Basic terminal building
Operational capability: Daylight domestic flights

Phase 2: By December 2025: Completion of Taxiway, Permanent Passenger and Cargo terminals, Installation of Cat 2 ILS and Airfield lighting system. Completion of aviation fuel depot at the airport linked by pipeline to Orient Modular refinery.
Operational capability: Night landing, International Flights, Major aviation fuel facility for the West African sub-region.

Phase 3: By December 2050: Completion of the second parallel runway and taxiways. Expansion of the Passenger and Cargo terminal to full capacity.
Operational capability: More international airlines use the airport as a regional transit hub for continental flights.

The obssession with the bridge is legendary. Infact, apart from helping you cut through upper Iweka traffic and perhaps help open up the Atani/Obosi swamp by passing a road over it the bridge cannot add anymore to people's lives.

Again while thanking everyone building the bridge from President Buhari to the laborers used by Julius Berger, the biggest THANK YOU must go to the United States that initially refused to release the Abacha loot to Nigeria until it was mentioned that the money will be invested in building the second niger bridge. Which they can easily observe and verify. If the Americans did not insist on seeing a project for the loot, the bridge would have since been abandoned after the loot was released to the FG of Nigeria.
