Ebonyi state just commissioned their new airport runway after wasting billions of naira to do a makeover from concrete to asphalt. The event sparked celebrations in abakaleke and environs as it heralded their liberation from the bondage of traveling the long distance to Enugu state to connect flights. The ebonyi airport may have signalled the final death knell on the moribund Enugu international airport in Emene as it has seen a drastic reduction in patronage due to the Anambra airport Umueri that has made Anambra residents to stop driving the long distance to Enugu. Unlike what that abakaleke miscreant Ebubu is suggesting here, it is actually Enugu indigenes who are lamenting the most about that Ebonyi airport as it will drastically affect the Enugu airport. Anambra doesn't share any boundary with Ebonyi, so why will Anambra people be bothered with Ebonyi airport? Anambra state government led by Soludo has just awarded contract for installation of night landing equipment at the Anambra airport in Umueri which will solidify the position of the airport as the busiest in the south east at the moment. |

It is good to have choices of destination when traveling to ala Igbo, I am hopeful Alex Otti will give us a befitting air port in Abia state before the end of his tenure. |

Ebonyi is yet to have airport, what ebonyi has is an amusement park. |

Ebubu:Ositaufere there’s no Nigerian airline in ebonyi amusement park airport. This was a private chartered flight that your ugly governor uses to while millions of ebonyi people are hawking gala all over Nigeria. |

The Ebonyi Airport serves as a prime example of a white elephant project, characterized by high maintenance costs and low economic returns. Its lack of viability is exacerbated by the fact that 90% of Ebonyi residents cannot afford air travel. Instead of prioritizing such costly endeavours, investments in human development and essential infrastructure would propel Ebonyi to become Nigeria's richest state. Key areas for investment include: 1. Free education (primary to university) 2. Free healthcare in state-run hospitals 3. Vocational training for youths 4. Empowering farmers through sustainable agricultural research and development 5. Agricultural livestock (cattle, goats, pigs, poultry) 6. Crop farming (rice, cassava, palm oil, plantain, banana, mango, oranges, maize, sorghum, cowpea, groundnut oil, cashew, rubber, soybeans, coconut) 7. Essential infrastructure (borehole water in all villages) Inspiration can be drawn from the Governor of Niger State's initiatives, investing in massive Rice farming. Currently, Ebonyi indigenes struggle to make ends meet, resorting to street hawking nationwide. The prioritization of grand projects over people-centred initiatives facilitates the embezzlement of public funds. Leaders must adopt sustainable, people-focused approaches, avoiding white elephant projects resulting from: 1. Poor planning 2. Inadequate demand assessment 3. Misallocated resources. It's time for leaders to prioritize the well-being and prosperity of their people. |

Gjrich:Same way u guys condemned Akwa ibom airport, but today it became the most viable state owned airport in Nigeria with it's demostic airline IBOM AIR as the most viable state owned air Fleet in Nigeria.... What we you people shouting then... Calabar people house boy/ house girl... You guys should continue people are already leaving you behind in behest of things.... My advice to Anambrians is to look in to How to end insecurities in your state, soon even the airport in your place will collapse, if care is not taken. |
