Umahi really failed Ebonyi people with his narrow minded leadership. Ebonyi is too poor to have a viable airport. Even private radio stations are non existent in the state due to acute poverty, but their dick measuring governor rushed to build airport because Willie Obiano built one in Anambra. Even after naming the airport after a prominent Anambra man, thinking it will attract Anambra billionaires to use the airport which is very far from Anambra state, it is still abandoned. Hopefully the present governor of Ebonyi will look more into human capital development of Ebonyi people and how to repatriate the millions of Abakaliki people doing menial jobs like house helps and hired farm workers all over the nooks and crany of Anambra state.

IkeOnyia:
He is still better than Nnamdi Kanu that is locked up in a dingy cell and will spend the next eight years with Tinubu in Abj.

IkeOnyia:
That's a give away price. They better sell them to Siemens or any good German operator or they will be run down. See how Barth Nnaji is still struggling with Geometric in Aba. Common to operate a power plant is hard for him while Aba and environ languish in extended periods of blackouts.

IkeOnyia:
You can't force a private business to establish its headquarters in a given place. They do so if such environment is conducive for them. The Niger Delta is a region where extortion of businesses is a community way of life. Those few ones operating there can attest to it. The multinational oil companies are more comfortable in Lagos. Even after Akwa Ibom state government built a free office in Uyo for Exxon Mobil, they still refused to relocate there. The wahala of the youths in the region is too much.

If well maintained, who knows, 5-10 years hence they'll appreciate it was built so "cheap" and the benefits are now numerous!

Do you know the massive cost of maintaining an airport to standard esp when its not generating revenue?

Who would travel there in 5yrs time?

There is no bad idea or establishment. They can start an aviation school there.
Hire people like me that can present a blueprint to turn that to a great flight School among other learning

Umahi never said why he choosed an airport as a major project for a state like Ebonyi. Apart from the fact that Enugu international airport is too close. There is no business in Ebonyi that will drive the traffic to that place. I said it here when he started that white elephant project

The reason why Nigerian politicians build some infrastructures is not really because they want to meet a need, but because some these white elephant projects are a good opportunity and conduit for stealing public funds. Umahi and his goons have already cash out from this project and so don't give a damn what happens to it afterwards.

This was obviously a white Elephant project
The funds used for this project could have been channeled other profitable ventures.

Human capital development above everything.
It comes first.

But trust apc supporters. Nothing Dem Sabi.

Na how many flyovers and rubbish airports you can build is their benchmark for performance.

Tax payer money, ofcourse.

Peter obi would have used that money as SME loans , and as grants to existing schools.

It would have been a better use of money.

But apc supporters would say he didn't do anything because he did not use it to build flyover.

Better than the one Rauf was trying to build in Osun State.
Major difference is that Umahi actually completed and commission the airport .

I’ve been to Osun and there’s absolutely nothing there . The state capital Osogbo looks like Epe .

The money should have be used for a team or monorail to improve on the transportation sector in the state or they could have settled for a small airstrip.

Ebonyi that I noticed are nice and very respectful Igbos.

I noticed the generational poverty in them which affects their mindset and behavior unknown to them.

Was once in their group( forgotten how I got in there...lol) and all they mention are nonsense eg why women should wash ( not with machine) their husbands clothes etc.... If my Delta people's forums are like this, I would have left since.

They seem not to be doing something right like the other Easterners.

One of the safest states in the East and house rent is CHEAP. Has lots of food crops that Cameroonians have eg Rice, Cabbage etc

This money could've been used to build the best hospital in ebonyi state. Hire competent doctors, stock the hospital with the best medicines, machines, beds, and everything that makes a world class hospital. Why are nigerians wicked?
