jln115:
Look no one said Africa didn't support the ANC and it's people.....But I'm tired of people(Specifically Nigerians) saying apartheid ended thanks to Nigeria, Tanzania or what ever other country.

In the great scheme of things, Africa didn't do sh1t during apartheid, It was thanks to South Africans(and pressure from the West) that South Africa became a free democratic country, people trying to claim that their country did so much for the South African people live in a fairy tail, since in actual fact they did almost nothing!!

The western world didn't mount pressure on your masters but rather, it was African countries that mounted pressure on the western world to place ban on South Africa through several threats of boycotts and boycotts. Go and learn before you write junkies here.

A 747 can't even land there and you're talking about an A380

FG Insists on Concession of Nation’s Airports

By editor - 6 months ago

By Chinedu Eze

The federal government said yesterday that it has resolved to concession nation’s airports under the management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to create opportunity for the private sector to participate in airport infrastructure development in Nigeria under the PPP arrangement.

Government said the concession process would start with the first four major airports in the country located in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt for a maximum of 30 years to ensure they are run efficiently and profitably

Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, disclosed this on Friday when he opened the Legend Lagos Airport Hotel operated by Hilton at the Quits Aviation Terminal, Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

The opening of the exotic hotel, which was graced by the President of Hilton Worldwide, Christopher Nasette, the President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Managing Director of Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, Chairman of Oando, Mr. Wale Tinubu, among others, was described as unique.

Sirika before he cut the tape to open the hotel disclosed that the new airport terminals in Abuja and Port Harcourt built by the Chinese under the $500 million facility from China Exim Bank would be inaugurated before end of October.


The minister observed that many Nigerians have taken to the social media to celebrate the new terminal at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, Ghana, but they did not know that the country has better airport terminal facilities in Port Harcourt, Kano, Abuja and Lagos, adding that the four terminals would be unveiled soon, starting with Port Harcourt and Abuja this October.

He, however, stressed that despite the building of the four facilities and additional one at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, government had realised that it cannot efficiently build and manage airport infrastructure, hence the decision to concession them.

“I will like to say that within the first quarter of next year, Airbus A380 aircraft would be landing in Nigeria. We have facilities to receive such an airplane. But this year before the end of this October, we would be opening the terminal in Port Harcourt which is ready even to the apron operations. We will also be opening the terminal in Abuja. They would be ready for operations.


“There are many other terminals we will open. I am sure my friends in the media have not forgotten that the intent and purpose of this government regarding aviation is to concession these airports. We don’t believe that government can run these facilities and run them very well. We must hand them over to the private sector,” he said.

The minister said Nigeria would soon record the highest passenger traffic in Africa as it was presently recording 16 million passengers per annum and the country strategically located to become a natural hub for West and Central Africa.

“If you talk about passenger traffic in air transportation, Ghana is just 450,000 passengers per annum last year. Here with all the dilapidated structures around the airports which we are working hard to improve very soon, Nigeria did about 16 million passengers, that’s 30 times Ghana market. We’re so lucky by our geography to be at the centre of the world. We are close to all locations in the world,” Sirika said.

Expressing appreciation for the top-notch Legend Lagos Airport Hotel, Dangote said the hotel could compete with any first class hotel in the world and urged government and FAAN management to build airport facilities that had similar quality as the hotel, expressing the hope that world’s largest passenger aircraft, A380 would soon land in Nigeria.

“It is really a great pleasure to be here today to celebrate this great hotel, which the CEO of Hilton described as the only hotel in the world which you will walk 10 steps to the aircraft. I am impressed with this kind of facility and the Minister; we rely on you so that in the next few years we will have an airport with this kind of quality. I would like to congratulate Sam Iwuajoku (CEO of Quits Aviation) and Hilton for building this kind of hotel here. We are happy to have this kind of facility in Nigeria,” Dangote said.

Airport in Ogun? Abeg not now, let Dapo completes all the abandoned projects by Amosun first.

Upon all the IGR generated , nothing to show for it

Amosun rushed to build airport in Wasimi after Dapo Abiodun emerged as APC candidate because he knew the planned Cargo airport in Iperu will be built under Dapo Abiodun.

Ogun state needs airport.

ChristianNorth:
I am not ready for stupid insults. Lagos, Abuja and PH are all international airports. Imo airport is just a domestic airport and it is the busiest in the country.

Lagos runs domestic flights but it not a domestic airport. Many people on international flight will still hop into a domestic flight to their final destination.

You are too dull. The chart below clearly differentiated between the international airport and Domestic airport for Lagos, P/H and Abuja.

As long as the Domestic airports are patronised, they are the busiest in the country. Stop polluting this space with half baked junkies.

Imo airport is not the busiest in the country. Educate yourself.

ChristianNorth:
It is the middle class that drives air traffic. Ogun doesn't have one.

Have you wondered why even Delta airport has traffic than Ibadan and Akure combined? Because it serves Onitsha.

Owerri airport serves Aba and also Onitsha. It is the middle class that is driving the traffic not few rich people.

First of all, Ibadan has more middle class than Aba, Owerri, Onitsha and Asaba but Owerri and Asaba have more air traffic than Ibadan (you can see the chart below). Please, tell me another joke.

If Asaba and Owerri airport are serving Anambra state, is it not convenient to say Lagos state is also serving Ogun state? Bhuhahahaha!

Now, let me give you the reason Asaba airport has more air traffic than Ibadan despite Ibadan having more middle class than all those places. It's simply because Ibadan airport is currently not functioning due to the fact that Stella Odua abandoned it and left it to rot. It was just recently the airport is going through renovation hence it is normal for Asaba to have more air traffic than Ibadan.. How can what is not functioning work? Think

Wait for Ibadan airport to function fully this year first before you begin to compare.

The same goes to Akure airport but it has started functioning after Akeredolu renovated it. It's currently carrying 54,000 passengers per year. This is for an airport that started functioning recently.

If Akure is able to get 54,000 passengers, who are you to say there is no middle class in Ogun state? Clown.

You can read this.






Akure airport records steady passenger growth

Published

October 24, 2018
Maureen Ihua-Maduenyi

The Akure Airport Manager, Mrs Cecilia Oguama, says passengers’ traffic at the airport has been growing steadily in the past one year.

She stated that before now, the airport recorded low traffic of about 20 passengers monthly, adding that passenger traffic had grown to thousands.

“Passenger traffic has increased tremendously. There was a time we had 10 people, 20 people; but right now, we have passengers in thousands, and 4,500 people per month,” she said.


The manager attributed the growth to the commencement of flights by Air Peace following a partnership arrangement between the airline and the Ondo State Government.

She added that the new terminal building with a sitting capacity of 100, which was put into use about two months ago, also contributed to passenger growth as airports users found the terminal more comfortable.


She said interest in the transportation of perishable goods through the airport had also increased and expressed the hope that the abandoned cargo airport would be included in the 2019 budget to get the contractors back to site.

“We have suppliers coming to make enquiries about the cargo airport; this state is known for agriculture and most of their produce is taken by road. So they come to the airport for enquiries on the transportation of their goods,” Oguama said.


While commending the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria for the quick response to issues at the airport, she said grass cutting had remained the greatest challenge at the airport with a need for urgent response

ChristianNorth:
Air traffic is an indicator of socio-economic activities in a place and also standard of living (disposal income).

It is not a surprise that SW didn't make the top 10 chart because outside Lagos, it will be rare to find a sophisticated level of economic activity going on there.

When you remove the top 4 international airports (Lagos, Abuja, PH, Kano) Imo Airport, a domestic airport sees the highest traffic, maybe because of its vantage position between two commercial heavyweights (Onitsha and Aba).

From the chart below, it is safe to conclude that SE/SS drive air traffic in Nigeria. Of course, we know foreigners and non-indigenes contribute more to the Lagos and Abuja airports traffic.

I am sure a lot of people will be surprised to see Edo on the chart. They are silent achievers.

You are just an illiterate who can't read simple chart.

How can Imo airport with around 260,000 passengers see more traffic than Lagos and Abuja with over 3 million passengers, and P/H with over 1 million passengers when you remove the international passengers? Bhuhahahaha!

Anambralstson:
Are you still wondering why Tinubu's First nation airline collapsed while Air Peace that started few years ago now boast of 67 aircraft once their new order arrive

What date is that? 2012?

ChristianNorth:
Ogun needs an airport because of traffic along that road. Who will even use the airport? That is the question.

Yes, Ogun state people are the poorest in Nigeria and that is why the likes of Mike Adenuga - Globacom, Subomi Balogun - FCMB, Oba Otudeko - Honeywell, Segun Agbaje - GTB, Adebola Adegunwa - Rite foods, Chief Adebutu - Premier Loto alias Baba Ijebu, Segun Adebutu - Petrolex oil and gas, Hassan Oye Odukale - Leadway assurance, Dapo Abiodun - Hayden, Funke Osibodu - Vigeo holding limited, Oba Tejuosho, Dr. Bolu Akin-Olugbade, WizKid, Olamide, Obasanjo, Gbanga Daniel, Osibanjo, Amosun, all the general overseas of churches in Ogun state, students in private universities, etcetera are too poor to use the airport.

That's a good one.

Eze didn't pass through our ranks so that's a disadvantage

Given the fact that he's foreign born doesn't help his case

Is that the criterion for playing for the national team?

But you know our coach na

He is getting annoying. How can he be talking about Nwakali and Azubuike when there is Eze?

Eberechi Eze should be given a chance to prove himself. He doesn't need any paper work to play for Nigeria.

More than 50 per cent of Nigeria’s oil and gas blocks remain untapped even as crude oil production continues to hover around two million barrels per day while gas shortages persist in the country over the years, ’FEMI ASU reports

Out of 390 oil blocks in the country, 211 are yet to be allocated by the Federal Government, latest data obtained from the Department of Petroleum Resources have shown.

With many other countries extending efforts to ramp up their oil and gas production and reserves, industry experts have voiced concerns about the lack of oil licensing rounds in Nigerian since 2008.


According to the DPR, 179 blocks have been allocated as of December 2017, comprising 111 Oil Mining Leases and 68 Oil Prospecting Licences.

The country has seven basins, namely Anambra, Benin, Benue, Bida, Chad, Niger Delta and Sokoto.

In Anambra, 12 out of 19 blocks have not been allocated; in Benin, 39 out of 50 are open; in Benue, 41 out of 43 are still idle, while none of the 17 blocks in Bida has been allocated.

In Chad basin, 40 out of 46 blocks are open; in the oil-rich Niger Delta, 34 out of 187 blocks are still idle, while Sokoto’s 28 blocks remain unallocated.

A former President of the International Association for Energy Economics, Prof Wumi Iledare, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, noted that exploration was critical in order to increase the nation’s oil and gas reserves.

“You cannot explore if the right to prospect is not granted, and you cannot grant unless there is a bidding process. And you cannot bid if the environment is not conducive,” he said.


He added that more blocks were being awarded in other countries “even though we are more endowed than those places.”



Iledare, who is the director of Emerald Energy Institute, University of Port Harcourt, said, “In the Gulf of Mexico in the United States, they do bidding round twice a year. But the last time we did any licensing round in Nigeria was 2007.”

According to him, many of the oil blocks currently producing in Nigeria are those awarded in 1993.

“The days of discretionary awards should be over because discretionary award is a process of converting common wealth to personal wealth, and the society really doesn’t benefit from this,” he added.

A petroleum expert, Mr Bala Zakka, told our correspondent that those unallocated blocks should be awarded to serious-minded investors, “instead of allocating blocks to individuals who eventually will not have the financial muscle.”

He said, “At the end, they (the individuals) farm it out or try to look for partners, which they cannot get. For individuals to be given blocks, they must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they have technical and financial competence.

“When you have a consortium of some financial institutions, technocrats and businessmen coming together and bidding for a block, they are likely going to sustain that block and do everything to keep it moving.”

Zakka added, “I would rather support us giving few blocks to investors who have the financial, professional and technical capabilities than giving so many blocks to people who will just keep them lying fallow.”

He said many OPLs had not been able to get to the point of being converted to OMLs because of the high level of capital required.

An OPL gives its holder the exclusive right to explore for and develop oil and gas within a defined area while an OML gives its holder the exclusive right to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas within a defined area.

To apply for an OML, an OPL licence holder will have found oil in commercial quantities and satisfied all the conditions attached to the OPL.

He said, “If you end up not finding oil in commercial quantities after prospecting, all the losses will be incurred by you. That is why we keep advising that people should not just go into the oil and gas business without having some simple education.

“By the time they now understand what it takes, they are stuck in the middle of the road; they can’t return the blocks to the government to collect their money back and they did not find people to partner with, and so they will leave the blocks fallow. That is exactly what is happening.”

An energy analyst and Partner at Bloomfield Law Practice, Mr Ayodele Oni, also lamented that the country had not done a bid round in over 10 years, saying, “I think it is important even if it is to generate more revenue for the government.”

In January this year, the Chief Executive Officer of Total, Mr Patrick Pouyanne, called on Nigeria to issue new exploration licences, saying the country’s oil and gas sector has been dormant in recent years in terms of exploration and new projects due to uncertainties and the ongoing discussions over oil industry regulation.

“I hope the new government that will come after the elections will launch new tenders for awarding new exploration licences,” Pouyanne was quoted by Reuters as saying on the sidelines of a meeting of Nigerian and French businesses in Paris.

Last week, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, decried the state of the nation’s oil industry, which he described as under-developed.

Kachikwu lamented that crude oil production in the country had been hovering around 1.9 million barrels per day and two million bpd over the past few years.

He spoke at the Nigeria Oil and Gas Opportunity Fair in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State where stakeholders examined how to maximise investments in the oil and gas industry for the benefit of the Nigerian people.

“Why is it that we continue to be under-developed in the oil and gas sector? Our production continues to hover around 1.9 million bpd and two million bpd. Why have we not been able to lead investors and producer that are operating across Africa? Why are we not taking over from the multinationals, which have been here for over 50 years?” the minister asked.

Kachikwu noted that the country had not made the most of its oil and gas resources over the years.


He said, “We should be producing over four million bpd of crude oil. We should be producing enough gas for power generation. We should have rapidly developing infrastructure. Something is fundamentally wrong in what we are doing. There is a need for us to move. Oil is going to become a fast-degenerating asset. The shale phenomenon and alternative energy are taking over the world.”

So oil dey all the six geopolitical zones.

Is it not better we have six or more regions controling their own natural resources?

There should be room for any group to belong to any particular region of their choice.
