Lagos to have two airports

Idiots from potopoto republic don't want Ebonyi to have one

It's not having an airport or even the number of airports, it's the viability. Ebonyi airport was built without basic criteria including viability, policy analysis andfeasibility study. That's why it's not working. You can't say the same with the Lekki airport.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally

Guy must you quite me if you know you are too dull to comprehend what I siad?

I want you to accept this fact that Lagos was developed 100% with Nigerian resources and as such belongs to all Nigerians equally

Lagos was already developed to a large extent before the country Nigeria was formed in 1914.

But for now that we are still in one Nigeria, Lagos belongs to all Nigerians and the pride of all Nigerian you fool.....

Everything in Lagos was built by the colonials then Nigerians 100%. Have a nice day

Lagos lead others follow.

seunowa:
See another werey... Wetin do Delta, River, ondo, Ogun and Bayelsa with all the money going into each state monthly..
Kaduna, kano and borno look better than Delta, bayelsa and Ogun state.

The amount spent on any FCT far surpasses the amount given to those places.

Excellent development from LASG

Kewekubosineh:
Oh Yes! You can't compare Sanwo Olu to Alex Otti. Otti is far ahead in terms of strategy and developmental stride.😆

Yeah, development strides like building bus stop and bringing Julius Berger to Abia is far better than building railways, seaports and airports.

franchasofficia:
Sanwo-Olu please also sign MoU with another company to help fix all the dilapidated roads connecting Lagos intracity areas.



From Festac to Mushin to Ikeja GRA to Ikotun to Ejigbo to Oshodi to Mafoluku to Isolo to Surulere to Satellite town to Egbeda to Ogba to just name it.


You cannot be focusing on white elephant projects that will help you loot billions while neglecting the critical road projects that will make life meaningful for Lagos residents

I am very sure you are not from Lagos or any SW states. Hold you state government accountable too

ValarDoharis:
Are the ports in a sorry state? Is 3rd mainland bridge in a sorry state? What about the international airport? What about allowing all the headquarters of companies reside in Lagos?

Above all, what about the monthly allocation to Lagos by the fg from Niger Delta oil money?

Lagos was built and still being built by fg using Nigerian resources and as such belongs to all Nigerians equally

😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na only Lagos dey get monthly allocation from the FG? What are the South South states doing with their locations and 13% derivation.?

Lagos is the economy capital of Nigeria. Where do want the headquarter of companies to be in your militant infested state or region ?

Why did Dangote chose to build his refinery in Lagos?

Na your oyel money Lagos is using to develop infrastructures currently abi?

Badgers14:
Why , why, why??

I know many people would look at this from a revenue standpoint.

But , they don't think about the stress on the infrastructure.. Lagos should he decongested..

I don't know why they don't liase with Ogun state to build something like this..

So it would reduce the traffic in lagos and somewhat balance the cost of living for the residents of both states.

Reduce the stress in the infrastructures in Lagos state and create more employment for both Lagos and Ogun residents..

As a native of Epe I don't agree with your submission. Thanks
Last time I checked Ogun State also has a governor

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally

We signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the internationally acclaimed construction company, Summa Group, to develop and construct the much awaited Lekki-Epe International Airport.

This groundbreaking initiative is an essential part of our vision to improve connectivity in Lagos, stimulate economic growth, and draw in global investments.

The Lekki-Epe International Airport will facilitate travel and create new opportunities for businesses and residents throughout the state.

Lagos leads, always.

Get this iconic international airport construction started (alongside the 4th Mainland Bridge linking Ikorodu directly with the Lekki Peninsula). There's not much time left to waste for medium to long-term planning along that axis.

Kudos to Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu (who's a top investment banker) and his team for getting things up to this stage though.

yoruboid:
The best and most beautiful airport in subsaharan Africa

In no time it will be the busiest in Africa

God bless Yorubaland

@Yoruboid,

Is that the official FINAL design of the Lekki-Epe airport? If it is, then that's gonna be a brilliant, streamlined work of architecture. I've seen different model designs of the proposed Lekki-Epe International Airport of recent online, so, I hope the model design you attached to your post is the one to be used OR even better for the sake of "functionality" and more. The images of the Airport in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State is by far the most beautiful from Nigeria as of now.

The Lekki-Epe International Airport can latter be renamed after folks such as the iconic nationalist, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, or the former Governor of Lagos State, Sir Michael Otedola who is originally an indigene of Epe. Both men are of course of Ijebu descent.

"Obafemi Awolowo International Airport, Lekki-Epe, Lagos State."

OR

"Michael Otedola International Airport, Lekki-Epe, Lagos State."

Badgers14:

That is an easy question to answer, because Ogun state has had useless governors that cannot take advantage of their close proximity to the state to make themselves useful.

Men might but God will not forgive them.

alanto:
I don't understand. Your states are below value chain.
Any order you chose to arrange it. Be it IGR or GDP. There'll still be 3 SE states below the least SW state so what's your argument?
Ogun State is the most industrialized state in Nigeria and Oyo tower 5 SE states combined. Yet we strive for these states to be more.

We don't stop around here, we don't look back and that's why you won't catchup.

.owerri and Enugu airports individually are more visible, viable, profitable than all the south west airports in illorin , akure, ibadan put together

ElSudani:
Drawing?

I'm just seeing this model design of the Lekki-Epe International International Airport you attached to your post. It's aethetically well designed, but it further affirms what I posted on this thread a few minutes ago about seeing in recent times many different model designs of the Lekki-Epe International Airport online and in videos. The whole thing is just befuddling or messes with the mind.

Can these folks just stick to one VERY functional, aethetically futuristic design and get the job done in record time? There's absolutely NO time to waste in the grand scheme of things. I appreciate the Lagos State Governor and his team though for getting to sign the MoU as of now, so that we can start flying into the airport (and out) in record time.

You live a state you hate this bad?
Why not relocate to your Abia where the Gov is erecting 10skyscrappers everyday


You've never had a single comment to give on a state you live and prosper....it must be terrible to be you

Any Nigerian can live and work anywhere in the country........that's what is embedded in the constitution.
.But are things I can easily get in Lagos , as an indigene. That non indigene won't .......

Smartcitizen:
Hmmmm!

This Lagos governor just dey make mouth as if he can do everything.

The loans this guy don collect go reach America and back and nothing to show for it.

You never finish rail line, you start Sea port...

You never finish sea port and na another air port you want to start?

If Lagos people allow APC again, I will know say na MUMU full for that Lagos.

Nawaoo!


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A second airport makes perfect sense to support the Island economy and the free trade zone, Lekki Port, Eko Atlantic and Dangote Refinery. That is already a $100 billion economy. The Ikeja airport will support the mainland. The new port is a PPP project, and the Lagos state government is providing land and political support.

I wish the Cross River State government continued Donald Duke's good work with Tinapa and transformed the state into a technology and tourist hub.

No important thing you can get that non indigenes cannot get

I respect your opinion..

But my position is for states to collaborate to make things easier for their residents..

For me, lagos is just too congested and the pressure this new projects put on their existing infrastructure is enormous.. and our society lacks maintenance culture..

But if the neighboring states liase in some project like this. Everyone will put "body" which will inturn benefit both states..

Succinctly stated.

You indeed have a full grasp of what's going on in the Lagos State mega infrastructural ecosystem (unlike that person you quoted who simply has a pedestrian knowledge of events NOT realizing there's a PPP arrangement in place for these projects) of which Lagos State is capable of repaying whatever loans it gets based off of medium to long-term cash flows, and most of all, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu worked with a top investment bank where he rose to the senior position of a Treasurer before joining the political space as a technocrat.

The Tinapa Resort project didn't pan out right because the former Governors after Donald didn't follow through and Cross Rivers also lost its status back in the 2000s as a major oil and gas producer with the loss of Bakassi Peninsula and the Supreme Court ordered major oil wells to be transferred to Akwa Ibom State (which also benefitted from oil wells transfered from Rivers State as well due to boundary adjustments at the same time). Cross Rivers never fully recovered from those major crude oil well loses to Akwa Ibom since then. I remember that the British-born, Mo Abudu (Modupe Abudu) moved her media production outfit to the Tinapa Resort in Calabar but as of today, she's fully back in Lagos with her multimillion USD entertainment empire. There's NO doubt, international tourism and internal tourism, including a strong focus on different aspects of agribusiness (since Cross River State has the second largest land mass in the South of Nigeria after Oyo State), newer rural and urban road infrastructure, and value addition of commodies for the local markets and export would trigger the economic prowess of Cross Rivers State in the absence of crude oil and gas deposits.
