Question 1 - With 5 airports in 200km radius who will use umueri other than Anambrarians?

mktinsight:
Nothing to see. Same size as Chicason recycling warehouse and INNOSON Plastic factory. Only impressive to those who make big deal out of name "airport"Again, I ask all the hypesters simple questions. Question 1 - With 5 airports in 200km radius who will use umueri other than Anambrarians? Also Asaba is closer to both Onitsha and Nnewi:Onitsha - Asaba is 16km
Onitsha - Umueri is 25kmNnewi to Asaba is 41km
Nnewi to Umueri is 51kmQuestion 2 - Which international airline will fly there after Enugu opens its massive and well constructed international terminal? Note that an airline will go to where there is CAPACITY. Uyo, Calabar call themselves international but airlines fly international routes from Port Harcourt. Kaduna calls itself international but flights choose Abuja. Question 3 - Owerri airport despite its high traffic loses over 2 billion a year and has not brought development to Owerri so why should umueri?nambra should work hard to grow GDP by making its cities livable and not concentrations of touts, barrow hawkers and 10x10 shops. All the big companies use Enugu as regional office. Why? Good wide roads and serene environment. Not Eke Awka and Ochanja chaos. Obiano should have channeled the 30 billion plus to build wide avenues and lots of streets in Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi. His ICC and mini stadium are sound. Airport is a waste of money.

Anambra should work hard to grow GDP by making its cities livable and not concentrations of touts, barrow hawkers and 10x10 shops. All the big companies use Enugu as regional office. Why?

If you had come out clean from the star to say I'm from Enugu and i'm against an airport in Anambra because i think Anambra airport will adversely affect my state's airport. It would have been understandable to many. But because you decided to throw silly and unfounded arguments thinking you were being smart by half, everyone in this forum truly think you are a mad person.

Now let me remind you that when Owerri airport was being built in the 1990s, the same fears you have now about it killing Enugu airport was expressed. Year later, we now know that fear was unfounded. Likewise when Asaba airport was being built, the same fears that it would kill Owerri airport was peddled. Well, again after these years, we now know that fear was also baseless. Some people like you even said if Anambra and Ebonyi states were created, Enugu would stop developing and become a village. Again such silly mindset were found to be baseless. Owerri and Enugu airports have continued to increase in passenger volume since Asaba became operational, just as Enugu has continued to develop even with the presence of Awka and Abakaliki as state capitals.

What people like you always fail to consider is that the economy and population ALWAYS GROWS and its not stagnant. What that means is that if Owerri airport had not been built, 90% of the people taking flights from Owerri to Abuja or Lagos would rather take a bus instead of the grueling 3 - 4 hours road trip to Enugu or Port Harcourt and then wait another 2 hours at the airport for the flight. They will be lucky if its not delayed or canceled. In effect, an airport being in Enugu with very terrible roads between Owerri and Enugu will not make them decide to fly. Human beings are rational animals, that is why your assessment is poor because you think people will do the same thing no matter the condition. Take a survey of people using Owerri airport today and ask them if they had used Enugu airport in the past when there was no airport in Owerri. An overwhelming majority will tell you they go via bus from Lagos to Owerri eachtime. They only fly now because there is an airport in Owerri. Meaning, Enugu will always have most of its passengers and the new area will build new clientele of people that will now decide it makes sense to fly and take a taxi home. Than travel another 4 hours after a flight.

The reason Nigeria has never worked and will never work is precisely your mindset. That a whole country should have only one sea port, only one or two international airport, only one central police force, only one central government can build railways, electricity plants or even universities as they did until 1980! Imagine if you would have water in your house now if they passed their water resources bill to put the right to even drill borehole or get water at all into your home in the hands of the federal government!

Back to the point, population determines how many airport should be adequate for an area. In fact many CITIES in the world with a population of up to 5 or 10 million have upwards of 3 - 5 airports! Do the research and find out. Now, the southeast region of Nigeria is about 29,000 sqKM with at least greater 35 million people living in it. If it were a country, it would be more populated than a country like Peru. Yet, for a population of 31 million people, Peru had 5 international airports and 60 domestic airports functioning at full capacity. Peru is not a rich country. Most people in southeast Nigeria have a higher standard of living than Peruvians.

Your fears that Anambra airport will cause a slow down of Enugu is totally unfounded. Especially if they ply different destinations internationally. Creating competition is how serious countries develop. Nigeria loves inefficiency from creating monopolies precisely out of tribalism and primordial considerations. That is why Nigerians who leave the shores of Nigeria excel because at home the government ensures that nothing is allowed to function the way it should. Nigeria is the type of country where they have 50 students in a classroom, but instead of making sure the classroom has 50 seats, they will deliberately allow only 10 seats in the classroom. So that all sorts of corruption and vice will thrive among the students scheming how to capture a seat than how to learn. I truly don't think you are Igbo because an average Igboman is not afraid of competition. But if you are indeed from Enugu state, then you are a disgrace to the great people of Enugu state.

[b]Its a 3000 sqm building. Internally, whether there are 2 or 3 levels [\b] its still a small terminal and the ground floor must contain check in counters and a baggage carousel. Like the government said its built to handle 400 passengers at a time which says it all.

The Enugu international terminal is far bigger and it shows and ultimately planes will choose to fly international flights there and not umueri.

Ultimately, umueri airport will live and die on local traffic and will be a money pit for ANSG to maintain.

Chicason Recycling Company, Nnewi has started buying wastes from people even as they are still fixing the machine and are still doing some finishing works in the recycling factory section

https://twitter.com/NnewiCity/status/1372590237461975049?s=19[/quote]I DONT THINK, IT IS FAIR FOR HIM TO BUY WASTE.


I THINK, ANAMBRA GOVERNMENT, SHOULD AWARD HIM CONTRACT TO MANAGE ANAMBRA WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SECTOR.


THAT WAY, HE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE PROFIT FROM HIS LABOUR AND HELP TO KEEP ANAMBRA CLEAN.


IF WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT IS WILLING TO DO THE JOB THAT OTHERS ARE TOO LAZY TO DO, WE MUST SUPPORT THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR LABOUR IS FRUITFUL.



SO MANY IN ANAMBRA WILL GET EMPLOYMENT DOING THIS.



THE ONLY THING GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DO IS REGULATE AND MAKE SURE HIS INDUSTRY IS MEETING WORLD CLASS STANDARD.




IF IT IS NOT, GIVE RECOMMENDATION ON WHERE NEEDS IMPROVEMENT AND THE TIME FRAME SUITABLE TO ATTAIN THE IMPROVEMENT TO AVOID GOVERNMENT SANCTION.



A NEW STYLE OF GOVERANCE.

Faithful007:
You can't be an engineer and talk like this. building sizes are calculated from floor spaces and not just from building dimensions. Someone like you can call 50 by 50 highrise a 2500sqm building. and by the way, the ground floor is still definitely larger than 3000sqm. Why? because the official length of the ramp was reported to be 560m and I guessed 500m initially. estimating from the image of the terminal WRT the ramp. you'll definitely arrive at something close to my previous figure. Stop trying to convince yourself to believe a lie.

U ARE WRONG.


U ARE SO WRONG THAT I MAKE BOLD TO YOU THAT ANAMBRA ALONE WILL HAVE TWO AIRPORTS.



ONE IN THE NORTH AT UMUERI AND ANOTHER ONE IN THE SOUTH AT ONITSHA.



THIS IS JUST TO TELL U THAT THE AIRPORT AT UMUERI IS VERY VIABLE AND WILL DO VERY WELL.

hammerDK:
I NEED TO KNOW WHETHER THE UMUERI AIRPORT IS CARGO MAINLY OR PASSANGER AIRPORT.

WAT ARE THEY PLANING TO DO THERE?

ANAMBRA IS ON THE MOVE AND WE NEED TO KEEP UP THE MOMENTUM.

Faithful007:
I had lived in anambra. Only the markets of onitsha are closer to Asaba, or even equal from the map. the residential areas of onitsha, especially areas where people are more likely to use the airports, such as GRA, Housing estates and so on are closer to the new airport.

Also onitsha does not only sit by the niger. it expands deep with satellite cities such as ogidi into anambra. I know that many people who work at onitsha live in the inner towns. Only the markets are closer to Asaba. In fact, I was told that the government has relocated many markets deeper into Anambra to decongest the main market.

So you get the point. Nobody travels from the markets. but from their homes. Also you forgot Awka, a large town as well. Anambra is growing into one single megacity so they need an airport centrally located and not at the boundaries of another city. I must say the airport is well located to be close enough to about 80% of residental areas in anambra.

hammerDK:
IF THE RICH MEN IN ANAMBRA SLEEP ON THIS ONE, I WANT TO COME AND SET UP AN AVIATION FUELING STATION IN UMUERI AIRPORT.

I HAVE THE CONNECTION BUT WILL REQUIRE LICENCE FROM ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNMENT TO ESTABLISH THIS BUSINESS IN ANAMBRA.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVAL AS WELL.

I AM TIRED OF POINTING OUT THINGS TO PEOPLE THAT NEVER WANT TO DO WELL.


VERY SLUGGISH AND SLOW ABOUT EVERYTHING, WEN SOMEBODY ELSE DOES IT, JEALOUSY GO ENTER.




I AM NOT JOKING HERE.


I' M CONNNECTED TO AN OIL AND GAS COMPANY ABROAD, THAT ARE WILLING TO BE MY PARTNERS IN THIS INVESTMENT, BUT OFCOURSE, IN NIGERIA IT IS ALL MINE.

hammerDK:
ANAMBRA GOVERNMENT SHOULD ACTIVELY CREATE A PLATFORM FOR JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN INDIGENOUS COMPANIES.


I.E. INNOSON WASTE COLLECTION AND CHICASON, WASTE PROCESSING.


WENEVER WE GET A JOINT VENTURE, A NEW COMPANY NAME IS GIVEN, BECOS A NEW COMPANY EMERGE.



IF THE WASTE IS BUSINESS, THEN THE PRIVATE SECTOR SHOULD MANAGE IT AND GOVERNMENT REGULATE IT.

AmericanQuarter:
Fixing of glass has begun at Anambra international airport terminal building. This is gonna be a very beautiful terminal building

AsomughaChuks05:
