MMIA is important. Lagos-Sokoto road is misplaced priority

2 billion dollars for kano-maradi is big misplaced priority

wetin dem dey do for maradi ?

Which one is better.....Nigeria's busiest Airport rebuild at $400 million and railway from Kano to Niger Republic at $2 billion?

Olori bu ni awon people yi.

Is this not better than stealing the money and taking it to Dubai.

Na Sango go strike una patapata

na life imprisonment be dat. deceiving the country

This Bolaji Abdulahi is an ignorant. Hadi Sirika, the past minister of aviation is one of ADC member, why can he ask him how much he spent in repeating the airport that has turned to eyesore today. The same man that repainted airplane and from Ethiopia and named it Nigeria Air. I wonder which Nigeria they want to rescue.

What you have here is a conjecture. The two CAN be done together is different from the two ARE being tackled together
All over the world, human emergencies especially involving children usually take the top of the pyramid except of course in black hearts of black Africans who think looking good to visitors has same importance as saving dying kidds. Like I said, same hypocrites are on the internet day and night wailing about Gaza.

The right time to do anything is when it ought to be done.
You mean generating revenue is more important than saving the lives of 400k kids? This is alarming
I am a thinking rational, human who realises that human life is sacred, more sacred than buildings and ports. Are you?

Lolz, you disingenously removed the part of my post that shows that the two ARE being done/tackled together. Infrastruture 'ministry' is not the one to tackle hunger and hospitals, it is the work of humanitarian agencies and health departments. Here it is again though you know already that they exist.

The Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund is for INFRASTRUCTURE. There are ministries and bodies for catering for poor people, malnutrition and building hospitals.Ministry for humanitarian affairs budgeted ₦130 billion as a general intervention fund across poverty and humanitarian programs, for just this year alone. The Ministry of Health’s 2024 approved capital budget was ₦233.66 billion, but only ₦26.55 billion (15%) was ever released, due to cash flow constraints and policy procedures.
The RHIDF aims to avoid such logjam that has bedevilled the country for DECADES. MMIA was built in 1979, it wasn't built to accomodate what it takes today. Planned for about 200,000 annual passengers, today it handles millions, far beyond original design and severely outdated if you've been there before. In this current plan, there will be a Complete structural overhaul of Terminal 1, expansion of Terminal 2, including a new apron, aircraft parking, access bridges and new ring roads, including enhanced security infrastructure. You have a fundamental right not to use it when it is completed.

According to data, total revenue generation for 2024:
Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos)
→ Generated ₦256.067 billion (67% of total)

Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja)
→ Generated ₦81.220 billion (21.3%)

Mallam Aminu Kano Int’l Airport (Kano)
→ Generated ₦20.241 billion (5.3%)

Port Harcourt International Airport
→ Generated ₦10.764 billion (2.8%)

Kindly show the part in your post that says the two ARE being done together. Is the rain falling heavily so as to dampen your senses over there?

- Ministry for humanitarian affairs budgeted ₦130 billion as a general intervention fund across poverty and humanitarian programs, for just this year alone.
-The Ministry of Health’s 2024 approved capital budget was ₦233.66 billion, but only ₦26.55 billion (15%) was ever released, due to cash flow constraints and policy procedures.

You don't believe these 2 but you readily believe over 700billion not yet disbursed. On what logic?
