No one needs your validation you demonic night owl. Anambra international airport is worldclass, I know you are very close to taking sniper, that would be good for you, because we don't care.

Demonic night owl (mktinsight) hear it once again, Anambra international airport is a world class facility and the best airport in Nigeria aside Abuja and Lagos

While the mega airport project is ongoing, our roads in our cities of Awka, Onitsha and most parts of Anambra are being maintained. We don't need your demonic validation to know that Anambra international airport is worldclass. Take back your useless sadistic input.

What is truly amazing is that Obiano insists on the best quality international airport to bequeath his state!

No shortcuts or shoddy jobs are acceptable!

Truly, this airport should be named Chief Willie Obiano International Passenger/Cargo Airport to thank this great son of Igboland!

God bless Gov. Willie Obiano!

God bless Prof. Charles SOLUDO!

God bless Anambra State!

God bless Nigeria and give her a fair governance structure to save her from her problems!

The Umueri airport is very basic and is not world class as some would like to say. If you want to see world class look at the terminal 3 in the small island of Zanzibar, Tanzania:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uLBNjGivpM

The Umueri airport can handle one flight at a time and reminds me of a small airport I have used in the South West United States. Usually the two boarding gates alternate. One is used for arriving passengers the other for departing and they alternate this way.

Since it takes roughly 2 hours minimum for passengers to board a departing plane it means that within the Nigerian context the terminal can handle 8 flights maximum per day. With the average 737 or a220 carrying less than 180 passengers thats less than 1,500 passengers per day and the terminal is basically no different than Asaba or Enugu domestic with a xapacity of less than 500,000 passengers per year.

It remains to be seen how an airport with 500,000 passengers paying less than 5,000 each in airport revenue can sustain its operations. 2.5 billion in revenue is just not enough for an airport for operations and maintenance no matter how small. Once the euphoria dies down, the state government will be on the hook for over 1 billion in subsidy per year plus the cost of maintaining the access roads and tarmac every 15 years plus assets like fire trucks, generators, air traffic control, etc.

Considering that they are failing to maintain the few tarred roads in Awka and Onitsha they better plan to concession it out or give it to the FGN to run.

Truly, the airport deserves to be named after him to thank him for the fantastic job that he did! Like the Imo airport, Akwa Ibom airport etc.

I'm still shocked at how quickly he built this facility and without cutting corners! My state with a budget that is almost 4 times of Anambra's budget took almost 10 years to build one in Asaba. Not to mention that we didn't build a dual-carriage access way, water systems, dedicated power lines, toll gate etc! I still wonder what Uduaghan was doing constructing Asaba airport for the whole 8 years he was in power! Though i still thank him for building it at all. But now that i know it could be done quicker, i have been wondering why it took us 10 years to achieve.

Airport should be named after the town that had to give up such a large amount of town or named after Peter Obi for his sacrifice to Anambra. Why would you build a public project and named it after yourself.

gordonbarrett:
Even if na half flight the airport d handle, no wahala. Leave am like that. Only a fool will be projecting revenue based only on passenger traffic, in a cargo airport and in a state that boasts of numerous international markets, and deal for an MRO already signed.

So for your mumu mind, it's only through the four bridges that passengers can embark or otherwise. Shows you no the near airport.

Meanwhile, if this can exist in London, who are we?

mktinsight:

wonder who is the mumu. You with the usual Nigerian empty bravado full of ignorance or me with facts?YI the whole concept over Cargo airport is a rubbish excuse to dump money in umueri. NLagos doesn't register much air cargo so who is anambra? Secondly, passenger traffic is only profitable for airports with international traffic not Nigerias poor domestic airport revenue. Only two airports are profitable in Nigeria Lagos MMIA and Abuja airport. The rest are all money losers living on government largesseAnambra does not need an airport and when the hype dies down the cardinal truth of this will be revealed. Lagos, Ogun with population of almost 30m people do just fine with the Lagos airport but in the same land area with 1/4 of the economy there are four small airports in Owerri Enugu, Asaba and now Umueri.

It's probably time for you to throw in the towel.

Why not ? He was the man who transformed Anambra from squalor to a top flying state and made Obiano governor ? Who is Obiano without Obi....without Obi you wouldn't have known Obiano.

IDENNAA:


I hate that Ezendigbo nonsense with passion! He looks like a clown. And nobody crowned him. It's utterly embarrassing. Time will come when if you didn't go through the nze na ozo rituals process and you wear a red cap you will be openly disgraced. I am speaking for Ndi Anambra specifically.

Oga you be compound mumu. Which facts are you talking about. Just like you were boasting that the airport will be completed latest 2023 abi 2024, based on your facts. Now you are talking about revenue. Oga first apologize to folks you insulted when you were insisting that it would become an abandoned project.

Like I said you don't know jack. And I bet you have never even used your state airport. Meanwhile, you want to portray yourself as an airport enthusiast, yet you have not heard that Ogun is at the final stages of their cargo/passenger airport approval. Mumu Lagos is also planning lekki airport. The land has already been mapped out. Edo is talking about a second airport. Na Anambra no need airport. Ode!

You have become a nuisance here.

mktinsight:

ou continue to showcase more of your ignorance and empty boastful nature which is why rather than address the issues raised you point to other stupid Nigerians of which there are many. I said and I will repeat that no normal airport is built and put into operation in less than 2 years and this airport will not be ready before 2022 at the earliest.Obiano of course is the master of cutting corners and I await all the problems that will arise from fast tracking a project which he is desperate to showcase as his achievement after 8 years of waste and failure. The irony is that he wants to complete an airport in less time than much simpler projects like the township stadium and conference center which as of almost ending July remain far from complete.

Furious1:
Waste of resources is where there's no return on investment or in this case where there's no economic impact. An example would be Abuja kaduna railway.
