So what is the problem? Because i know very well that ebonyi state according to many financial/economy reporters opined that the state is one of the poorest in southern part of nigeria. Now the governor is working on infrastructures, it will take time for the state or indigene of the state to begin to enjoy the benefit(s) of Gov. Umahi administration.

i agree with you

CyberWolf:
Don’t mind them. They are so good in sharing their negative pessimistic analysis as of they’ve ever done anything for Ebonyi State. They are very surprised that a state like Ebonyi which they consider backward is developing very rapidly but whether they like it or not, we will continue moving forward and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

as in ehnn. They used to cry that Ebonyi state is timid, under-developed and has poor people. Now Ebonyi is revamping infrastructure, they cry that it is not needed and waste of money.

Jesus Christ ! Witch-craft are haters and they exist true true.

These people just want Ebonyi to remain a backward state so they can keep using it to catch cruise, insult them and elevate their own false superiority complex about having airport, flyovers, stadium, etc.

Low lives!

Cognitivereason:
Food basket or not...
The only airports that export anything ranging from food items etc are the 5 international airports...as these are the only airports that allows international cargo flights...

So nothing will be exported from these airports...
Sam mbakwe is a cargo airport at least by name...have u heard of any international cargo airline like DHL or FedEx planes landing there...

All the food items in ebonyi are transported and will always be transported by roads to other Nigerian states or cameroon.. farmers can't afford air travel not to talk of moving their products by air

please carry your negative futuristic analysis and prediction to your state.

We don’t do pessimism in Ebonyi state. And all your ramblings will never cease the timely completion of this airport.

You seemed not to understand what he said, simply because you are not from South East. Ebonyi State has very poor indigen who are mainly farmers. Who will use the air port? Enugu has air port which is close to them. The money spent on the air port, could have been used to build industries like palm oil refinery, rice mill, cassava & yam floor... These are what the people of Ebonyi are into, even the rich ones are into agricultural production. Basically construction of air port should be among the last in scale of preference for Ebonyi.

oga carry your hatred advise and go and give your state governor.

U must be kidding about the bolded...
There are lot of states airports dat are becoming a bane for FAAN to maintain because they aren't viable ..how has it brought investors to their state..

How is building an airport the same as creating an enabling environment..
Ogun state doesn't have an airport...
Almost All it federal roads but it has better investment than any other western state excluding Lagos..

There are more job opportunities and industries in abia state despite lacking an airport and good roads

How has the airport in bayelsa and calabar attracted investor...
U think if they want to come.. airport is what they will be looking at...pls let not deceive ourselves..

Yeah building an airport isn't bad...it has no economic promises for ebonyi..at least not in 2 or 3 decades..except incoming governors now focus on industrialization

of course they’ll focus on industrialization

Papaya99:
Good

better

funbiano:
So you don't know that this airport is also going to provide jobs for Ebonyi people.Dont be novist.Many graduate will get job via this Airport.

you’re right

Chinedumsimpero:
Yes David umahi is trying but there are things to consider first b4 others
If u go to ebonyi state today expecially abakiliki
U will see many flyovers
Everywia is flyoer but u wont see much motto applying the road…. Most of dem no motto is running on it but wen u look outside d flyovers u will see many mud houses everywhere
He should atleast develop his people first b4 flyover dat u can easily count how many mottos that passed through the roads easily

liar there is no mud house in Abakaliki capital

CyberWolf:
Animal… Is there running water in Lagos and Abuja to start with

or in rivers or where exactly

Cognitivereason:
Let be honest once it is commissioned that airport cannot employ more than 150...
Yes 150..from the uneducated security officers to the cleaners..etc..

Pls don't count the federal government workers that will be posted there..like ,police ,NDLEA , FAAN or the likes..they will just deploy their existing officers whom most likely might not be from ebonyi or be Igbo to the airport not employ new ones...
The same thing most airline will do...

But when u talk of direct employment ..it won't employ more than 200... There will not be any significant indirect jobs created as well as the airport doesmt produce anything neither will it engage in cargo services

This is a project that will cost nothing less than N35bn to build...

If u put that money into building a massive industry...it will more than 600 workers...and indirect jobs will be created through the sales of the product

Innoson plants doesn't cost up to N30bn..but employs 2,000 plus direct workers...

By the way which business activity want to open around the airport meant for only passengers..
Go to Edo, calabar, delta,imo airports....which business activity opened there...or u want to include taxi drivers..how many taxi drivers want to be there...


Bayelsa airport opened a few years ago...
That airport hasn't been regularly receiving local flights... I don't even think more than 2 airlines fly there because there is no market there...airpeace no longer fly there often...

Ebonyi is a cargo and passenger airport. I’m sure you are aware Ebonyi is a food basket.

Dagger111:
Please.... Is it true that Carribbean Loud feelings is different?

pass Canadian loud?

Chuskyvic:
Every state building airport so that it will be easy for the gov to run away incase. How can a state sustain maintaining an airport and what level of patronage ll you get from ebonyi Airport?

bad belle no good oo.

So people who will work in the airport as workers will be from kafanchan and not Ebonyi? So investors who will invest in the state will enter into Ebonyi by swimming through a non-existent sea?


So the business opportunities that will open around the airport is not avenue to create wealth for Ebonyians?

Sense is very far from you mumu man.

Slurity:
Despite the level of unemployment and poverty in the state, this man choose a project like airport instead, this man is not different from Fayose, the illiterate will not understand that the governor is just wasting the state resources, they will hail him as performing governor.

bad belle no good oo.

GloriousGbola:
This is the man celebrated as the best governor in the east? Throwing money away on white elephant vanity projects?

How much traffic is akanu ibiam Airport generating?

An airport, with concrete runways is an easy way for an admin to chop money. That is all I see here.

A vanity project that will get people turgid but will offer no financial release.

bad belle dey worry you

ednut1:
Sitting room na achievement or what

wetting concern you? Na your state governor? Showing pictures of progress all over the airport including the presidential lounge don turn to hating competition?

Wetting you dey do for that canada wey you dey sef cos bad belle never comot your body as you leave nigeria?

JOemmy:
So this means ebonyi will become the first state in the entire south east region to have olympic size stadium gov. Dav. Umahi is truly a magician how he manages to use little funds from monthly federal allocations to build mega projects in ebonyi is something that really needs to be studied in the universities.

honestly

tit:
So when will a state in the mkpurumiri yeast have running water?

does osun, ogun, ondo, ekiti, lagos and oyo have running water? Or trekking Abi walking water?

Budapestboy:
Look at how foolish and senseless you sound! Reason why Buhari can become a president in this country because we still have daft people like you.

It is a shame you don’t understand how useful an airport will be to the economy of a state like ebonyi. Keep waiting for Umahi to go and serve food to ebonyi people in thier house

no mind the man. He too mumu

OVB123:
Are u trying to say that he hasn't been paying public and civil servant workers?

he has

rickleye:
How jobs go come without a way of bringing those Jobs to Ebonyi. To run an airport could take at least 500 people. Those are jobs which locals can snatch up.
Ground Control People
Baggage Handlers
Plane cleaners
Food Providers
Air Traffic Control
Security
Plane Fuel loaders
Plane Carriers maintenance etc
Without even talking about shops around the airport and development which it brings.

What’s next is for those youths to get a certificate course and when preparation jam opportunity = success.

you are wise bro

iampeterben:
Misplaced priorities

Kudos to Umahi, he’s doing well. It shall not be well with hateful folks who always try to run Umahi down simply because he joined APC.
