football age=real age-15

kenya airline the biggest in Africa has also had a plane crash. so does it mean that they should close down

this scheme if well harnessed and managed will sure generate billions for the state

The fact that imo and owerri in particular is a tourist/relaxation hub make this investment more than relevant. Rochas indeed has vision

@Freeglobe, just checked ur pro & i found out that its waste of mb to argue with u

FreeGlobe:

operated by Dana air, has dana air and imo logo.. Rochas is just a fraudster.. wtf

I know you dont know how aviation business works so I will just leave you in your folly

FreeGlobe:
Rochas should tell us for instance, how much he bought the plane and the agreement with Dana Air. The issue of clearing salaries is a story for another day

don't be such a sadist not to see anything good the governor does. must he tell you how much he bought the flights before you believe him
he said he had clear up workers and pensioners salaries and areas yet you do not believe him. Rich states like Rivers is owing over six months salaries yet no fuss. you guys are just pathetic.

FreeGlobe:
SCAM!!!! When will this man stop?

how is it scam

betterABIAstate:
Irrespective of the bad leadership of Rocha's, I still stand that owerri remains the most modernized city in southeast, followed closely by Enugu.

you said okorocha is misgoverning but half of the infrastructure you posted is his handiwork

IMO – AIR, INAUGURATED, WITH MAIDEN FLIGHT LANDING AT SAM MBAKWE CARGO AIR-PORT; TOTAL OF FIVE FLIGHTS SET TO KICK START THE AIRLINE
- AS GOVERNOR OKOROCHA SAYS IMO NOT AFFECTED BY RECESSION AND HE IS UP TO DATE IN SALARIES AND PENSIONS

A maiden flight of Imo Air owned by the Imo State Government, Tuesday, January 24, 2017 landed at the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport Owerri with the first set of passengers, and with the State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, members of the State Executive Council and thousands of Imo people at the airport to celebrate the feat.

The 140-Seater plane with Imo Air written boldly on the body landed at the Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport FROM LAGOS at exactly 11.42 pm, and is being operated for the State by DANA Airline because according to the governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha the State has not got the license to operate full – blown airline.

In his speech at the Airport to herald the arrival of the Maiden Imo Air, Governor Rochas Okorocha said it has been his dream and sincere desire to position Imo State on the fast lane of development, prosperity and growth, adding that he won’t rest on his oars until that dream is realized.

Governor Okorocha also said that Imo is not affected by the much-talked about recession in the Country because some people might wonder why the State should dabble into Airline business in time of recession explaining that the State has cleared arrears of Pension and has paid Salaries upto December 2016, and is about to commence the payment of January Salary.

His words, “this is a happy moment in the State. The aim of going into the Air business is because I want to drive traffic to Imo State as Imo is genuinely becoming the fastest developing City outside Abuja and Lagos. For this, there is need for more airlines to cushion the effects of high traffic coming to the State”.

The governor continued “Imo government does not have an operating air license. So we needed to partner with a good and qualified airline operator. Hence, the choice of DANA Air because of its proven track record and sincerity of purpose. The Imo Air will be operated by DANA and we have a contract of ten years with them. We have five of this aircraft and the first one has just landed and four other ones will start operation in few weeks time”.

The governor explained, “The International Cargo Airport will soon kick-start to supplement the efforts of Imo Air. In our pursuit of making Imo better, Imo International Cargo Airport will soon commence operations. Work is going on smoothly and by April God’s willing the fastest International Cargo Plane will arrive Imo State. This, we believe will help drive up commercial activities in the State. Imo is a hub for business and there is no better place to invest now in Nigeria than Imo State as inspite of the recession the State is still flourishing and progressing because of its visionary leadership”.

He informed that Imo Air will have 10% discount to all Imo indigenes flying the Plane and the operation will equally employ over 30% of Imo sons and daughters to help in the management of the Imo Air”.

The DANA AIR Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Mbanuzuo Obi said, “The partnership between DANA and the good people of Imo State will create employment and better working relationship for the State. Imo AIR is in safe hands and the choice of DANA AIR for the partnership is an excellent choice as DANA AIR is registered with INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION operations and security treasuring”.

He added that DANA AIR has the best Customer Service Awards for 3 years running and has also been known to operate one of the top most operational brands in Nigeria. He commended Okorocha for his vision and passion for excellence.

This is a very good and strategic move by the state government as Owerri airport is one of the busiest after lagos, Abuja and PH. its indeed a well informed investment by the state government

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/okorocha-inaugurates-imo-air-says-imo-not-affected-by-recession/

this is a huge mischief from the op. there is no state in Nigeria that don't have a gheto so singling Imo state because of that bad spot is really an unfair thing to do. I still believe that Imo and Owerri in particular still remain one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria and city with one of the least ghettos in the county

nice

he've got one of the juiciest portfolio. considering Aviation, Roads, inland marine, etc under transportation

nice post

naija politrics

I think Amaechi deserves it

nice one. it can only get better

the first three pics below are some of Amaechi's Hospitals and the last one is one of the over a hundred free primary health centers. the guy is simply the best in health care delivery

lets wait and hear from Doyin or Abati. the verbal fight continues

as a neutral I would say he intend to fight it punch for punch, blow for blow

uyo roads the uncommon transformation

Imo primary schools

Education: I give it to Rochas the Imo state governor for his free education from primary to tertiary and it is being implemented. He also built over hundred primary schools scattered all over the state.

In infrastructure I give it to akpabio of Akwaibom State that guy is phenomenon. He almost turned uyo to dubai within just seven years

In Agriculture i will give it to Kwara state governor for his agricultural revolution

in Health i will give it to Amaechi of rivers he built over hundred free health centers after training over four hundred doctors to man the centers.he also built some quality hospitals.

in job creation i will also give it to Amaechi the rivers state governor for employing over thirteen thousand unemployed graduate as teachers. his RSSDA program is also outstanding

I think this judgement is in the right direction the NASS cannot summon our fourth presido. for what

classic jester

lol Mbu ko Ibu ni

According to Okorocha, Imo State Governor:

“Jonathan is not from the South-East, the Vice President is not from here, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and the security chiefs, none of them is from the South-East. Igbo people have no place in Nigeria. How can we say that PDP belongs to Ndigbo?

“Niger Bridge is 419, Enugu/Onitsha and Port-Hacourt Express way are all evidences of their hatred for Ndigbo; they don’t remember the poor, all our leaders in PDP are only interested in their pockets, they don’t care about our children’s education".

sad but true

.

whaoh i noticed the stainless street ligthts. beautiful and serene environment. the governor have sure got taste.

Rivers government has created more job more than any dispensation both direct and indirect. this includes recruitment of more than 13,000 teachers, employment of hundreds of doctors which he trained abroad to man the modern hospitals he built, thousands through RSSDA which to me is the biggest and the most well thought out human capital development scheme in the country because it encompasses ambitious agricultural schemes such as the songhai farm, agro allied industry among others, skills acquisition and subsequent empowerment, oversea scholarship for undergraduate and post graduates etc
