Their loss of Edo and Tinubu's disgrace is too much for them to bear.

Now their target is Anambra and Obiano

They will still fail as usual.

ANSMEDIA:
Some videos of Anambra International Airport Tower. An insider working with the construction company had to manage to get these videos of the internal works ongoing at the Tower building.

The Tower building should be around 10 storey(height) by now. International airports of international standards have tall Tower buildings like the one being built in Anambra international airport.

The Tower building is being cast all through in line with the international best practices. My contact on the inside promised to get video/pictures of the Terminal Building soon.

They should plant trees on both sides of the road to make the drive to and from the airport scenic and impressive for visitors, investors and tourists coming into the state. Also, world class route signage should be included in the construction.

laiperi:
There are children old enough to become parents that cry they do not know of a time Nigeria had regular light or water.

Those that left Nigeria to study outside saw regular water and light only to come back home to see portable water and NEPA light out to epileptic supply of both.

Yet, we fool ourselves and blame whatever and whoever.

Weakest statement I have ever read. The bridge links SE to SS which is connected to west.

The bridge connects two regions and and not three.


Bridge bridge bridge, oya go build house on top the bridge and live there till they complete it.

Our Airport is Newer and Bigger Than Yours Though a White Elephant

Minister of State, Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika

THE PUBLIC SPHERE
With Chido Nwakanma

The Akanu Ibiam Airport in Enugu was in the news again this week for the wrong reasons. Indications are that the 30 August 2020 date scheduled for its reopening may not materialise given the situation on the ground. It got worse Wednesday 12 August 2020 as Citizen John Emejulu, an architect and developer, vandalised the fence of the airport to establish his claim to part of the land forcefully.

One error soon built on the first. Aviation Minister Hadi Sarika visited the site of the destruction of 2kms of fencing and declared a fatwa on Emejulu. He stated: “This will certainly be the end of this kind of recklessness. We will not forgive him. The Chief of Staff will direct all that is involved in this kind of arrangement, the Inspector-General of Police and the Director-General of the DSS (Department of State Services) to do the needful and bring him to book.

“I am incredibly sad. It is very wrong, and we must seize the opportunity and deal with him summarily to serve as a deterrent to others. We are not in the Banana Republic. We are in a federal republic governed by laws. Certainly, this is not acceptable, and we are capable of rising in defence of national assets.”

The Enugu State Government then turned it into a farce on Friday morning. Officials of the ENSG descended on and destroyed the home of Mr Emejulu with all his properties in it. It reminded of the destruction of Odin in Bayelsa State by soldiers that then-President Olusegun Obasanjo sent to avenge the killing of two soldiers.

Emejulu acted with impunity even as he had a court judgement in his favour. He did not seek peaceful means of getting value for the judgement. But what about the state government? Should petulance and vindictiveness be part of state policy and reaction to the misdeed of a citizen?
Minister Sirika is optimistic that the Federal Government and its contractors will finish the repair works and redevelopment of the Enugu Airport. It will be a surprise most pleasing to citizens who use the airport. Significantly, it will be a political positive for the PMB administration as the matter of the redevelopment of the Akanu Ibiam Airport has assumed an intense political dimension. It has taken one year to fix the Akanu Ibiam airport. Groups in the South East compare the development with similar airport closures at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport Abuja and the Kaduna Airport, and they feel short-changed. Both Abuja and Kaduna Airports took shorter duration to fix. The fifth international gateway in Nigeria should reopen in September, so the businesses and citizens can recoup their losses.
Airports are topical in the states of the South East. Three states have embarked on airport projects with varying degrees of project implementation. These are Abia, Anambra and Ebonyi. The governors of the states speak with confidence about the desirability even imperative of the airports.

The project execution model for the Abia State airport is a hermaphrodite otherwise clothed in the garb of a Public-Private Partnership. Government has forcefully acquired lands in Ngwaland and Ikwuano and Olokoro, Umuahia. Governor Theodore Orji commenced the project. Current governor Okezie Ikpeazu swears by the project and has appointed an Abia Airport Project Team with Chief Philip Orjiako as chairman. In March 2020, Ikpeazu said he looked towards breaking grounds in April so he could realise the project before his administration expires.
Orji, his predecessor, made similar audio proclamations before he left. Okezie is a governor that has failed to complete a simple flyover in Aba over four years or to cleanse the rot in the state’s most central city waxing on the more elaborate and expensive project of building an airport.

Project execution is the robust suite of Ebonyi State governor Engineer David Umahi. He has demonstrated competence in delivering infrastructure in the state, some needful and others futuristic, such as the International Market in Abakaliki that is mostly empty.
Abakiliki is 75km from Enugu, just a drive of an hour and twenty minutes. It is a whistle-stop from the Akanu Ibiam Airport. Enugu Airport is one of the under-utilised airports run by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria. Ego more than economic viability must be the principal driver of the construction of this airport.

Governor Willie Obiano is similarly committed to the building of an airport in Anambra State. Or so he has claimed for three years since he unveiled the project in April 2017. Like Abia, construction of the Umueri International Cargo Airport is under a PPP arrangement. Anambra Airport City Infrastructures Limited oversees the project and has allocated 75 per cent equity to Elite International Investments, 20 per cent to Orient Petroleum Resources Limited and five per cent to Anambra State Government. The initial claim was that Chinese firm Sinoking International would build the airport at no cost to the state government. It was audio.

Anambra budgeted N6b for the airport in 2020 while work commenced in late 2019. Note that Asaba Airport is 31.7km from the proposed Umueri Airport while Owerri is 92km away and Enugu is 103km away by road.

Records of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) shows that most airports in Nigeria are loss-makers. The People’s Airport in Owerri is one of the loss-makers. Built on a strong wave of populism and anger at marginalisation, the zeal of the people has not manifested in patronage at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport. It generated a revenue of N1.25b over the three-years 2017-2019 but spent N2.50b., losing N1.42b. Margaret Ekpo International Airport Calabar incurred a deficit of N1.94b.

Akanu Ibiam Airport consistently ranks fifth in the country in passenger traffic. It stood at 342 000 in 2018. It is grossly underutilised as is the one at Owerri.

Are these airports necessary or justified? The South East does not need more airports. Not at least for another ten years until there is an increase in traffic and better use of the two airports in the region. Passenger traffic is a function of the level of economic activities. Here is an area that the records show attracts the least FDI because of the failings of government now expending resources wrongly.

There are competing priorities. They include the absence of world-class facilities for healthcare, education, and even potable water in the cities of the South East. There is no pipe-borne water in Enugu or Onitsha, for instance. As the world races steadily online, one would expect a programme to ensure that the states of the South East embrace digital in all its ramifications including equipping the youths of the region, making schools digital compliant and running governments on a digital platform.

White elephant refers “to an extravagant, impractical gift” that becomes a burden. The phrase is said to come from the historical practice of the King of Siam (now Thailand) giving rare albino elephants to courtiers who had displeased him so that the animals’ upkeep costs might ruin them,” the dictionary says.
The South East does not need the white elephant of airport projects. The governors should find other signature projects for their egos.

Dangote Group has announced that its refinery would be commissioned by the end of first half in 2021.

Seems the coast is now clear for Dangote to take over Monopoly of Fuel supply in Nigeria just like cement from first half of 2021

Buhari is the best President for the North in terms of business from banning milk importation to help Fulani's herdsmen to total monopoly of Refinery .

OreMI22:
You are right.

All he needs to do is reserve enough area for future expansion. Around the world, airports are built in phases. Till date, the Newark international airport terminal building continues to be increased and more runways being built.

All Obiano needs for a takeoff of the airport is one good runway of 3.5 KM by 60 meters, a good control tower and basic terminal building like Uyo international airport terminal building. Infact, since more than 10 years of Uyo international airport operating, they are only recently begining to construct the main terminal building. Also, Uyo airport taxiway was completed many years after the airport became operational.

Then the rest of the taxiway, permanent terminal building, cargo warehouses and other facilities will continue to be added as the airport develops.

OreMI22:
True analysis!

The only problem is that our people vehemently prefer to use airporrs outside our region on the most frivolous excuses. Its so difficult to explain to our people that they help create good jobs, reduce crime and generally raise the quality of life in the region by simply using airports in the southeast for international travel and return. In essence, the money they pay in hotels lodging, taxis, food after landing in Lagos and Abuja are losses for businesses in the east. No wonder businesses in our region rarely thrive and our youths must run to Lagos or Abuja to eke out a living.

Again, our governors should encourage private investors to set up fun activities in the state capitals. You will notice that our people only stay in their villages during their visit snd then fly to Lagos or Abuja to spend an extra week visiting fun places like amusement parks, water parks, conservation centers, art centers, zoo, museums , decently planned readymade African dress and decorative art markets etc. The lack of these facilities make it impossible for our people to have fun and spend their resources while in our state to support the local economy.

Talk is very cheap!!! It is better to stand for something than to fall for everything. If you can arm the IPOB and, at least, show Nigeria you are not a basement coward as you would want us to believe, the IPOB could surprise you.

Niccoloimhotep:
Hello guys, please i have a question. Is Oguta Lake the same Agulu Lake, or they are two different lakes both in Anambra state?

OreMI22:
Please the minimum level of decency is to give credits to people who you are using their works.

The video where you extracted the clips was made by EBOH MEDIA.

Please give credits to the guy at the barest minimum and not try to steal his works as your own. I personally know the guy and he is not the same as Anambra 1st son.

XXXXTENTACION:
Despite the thousands of grains and money borrowed nigerians are still dying in hunger and poverty


but anyway las las things go dey alright

Admissionclass:
This is becoming something else where are our leaders?can such be done to the fulani or any other northerners Can an Igbo police officer go to the North and kill an innocent fulani man without their leaders interfering?
I have never heard of police killing herdsmen or bandits,bokoharam members are reintegrate back into the society after killing so many people isn't it so obvious that Nigeria is no longer safe for Igbos is it until it turns a full scale ethnic war?where is ohaneze Ndiigbo, where are our lawmakers and representatives?

Bokoharam and bandits can be brought to the round table but ipob are devils right.


Is just a matter of time Gods judgement will visit Nigeria soon..

helinues:
I really don't get it,how can someone sit behind his computer and be endagering same people he claimed of fighting for..

How can you face security officers that are armed with teeth against sticks? Which kind of redundant bravery is that?

IPOB as a group is currently proscribed by FG as a terrorist group ( Nonsense from FG to start with)

It is on record that the Nigeria security officers are animal in human skin, so why continue daring them?

Abeg we are tired of typing RIP
