FG And Enugu State Target Direct China-Enugu Cargo Flights By December - Keyamo by Tabithatim(op): 5:15am On Jun 20

NEW: Federal gov't and Enugu gov't target direct China-Enugu cargo flights by December - Aviation Minister Keyamo

The Federal Government and Enugu State Government are in talks to ensure the commencement of direct cargo flight operations between Enugu and Guangzhou, China, before the end of the year.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barr Festus Keyamo, disclosed this in Lagos during the launch of the United Air’s newly acquired airplanes on Thursday.

The Minister added said the FG had affected a structural management overhaul at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, also bringing the airport under a privately run operational framework.

"One of our prides in the South is the Enugu International Airport. The Enugu governor approached Mr. President, noting that the airport was not maximising its economic potential under standard bureaucratic structures, and requested to bring in private investors to run it. Mr. President gave the green light.

"As I speak with you, Enugu is now fully privately owned and fully supported by state government, with the clear objective of also turning it into a dedicated cargo hub for the entire Southeast."

To this effect, therefore, Keyamo said that a high-level bilateral trade negotiations were ongoing with a view to securing direct logistics flights between China and the Southeast by the end of 2026.

"Just two days ago, the Enugu governor and I were actively negotiating the first direct cargo flight from Guangzhou, China, straight into Enugu.

“We are targeting December for the maiden flight. This will allow our Southeast merchants and traders in China to consolidate their goods into unified cargo accounts twice a week, flying straight into Enugu for seamless delivery to hubs like Onitsha and Aba," he concluded.

It is recalled that Governor Mbah had in July 2025 launched Enugu Air, a state-owned airline, as part of the administration’s integrated blueprint for a modern, multimodal transport ecosystem and the vision to make Enugu a major aviation and logistics hub.

Since then, Enugu Air has grown its fleet from three at inception to six planes with plans to further increase it as it prepares to commence operations to regional destinations like Accra, Libreville, Abidjan in next few months and long haul flight operations to various destinations around the world by the end of the year.

Igbos are trying, no direct cargo to South East, to travel abroad from South East is hell, they made it difficult to the extent that you have to travel Lagos or Abuja before you can travel abroad.
no sea cargo,
Igbos are the highest importer and also the highest travelers.

HOLD YOUR GOVERNORS, you no hear. Imagine if someone had done this 10 or 20 or 30 years ago instead of playing the ostrich victim. Imagine if Stella Oduah had organized this as minister of aviation. Imagine if all the past South East governors were proactive especially when they were not in opposition during the PDP years.
In this same country, few decades ago, Akwa Ibom was more known for househelp all over the country, until then governor Akpabio said NO.

Was this airport revived by Jonathan in his five year tenure that continued PDP

- prosperity,
- peace and
- stability legacy with
- cheap petrol,
- cheap dollars,
- low debt burden
- low unemployment

Why did Tinubu end all these better things in 2015 by making Jonathan a one term president huh

Why?

Why did Tinubu beg Buhari out of retirement to make him president in 2015, just four years after calling him expired? Was it just selfishness and greed that made the master strategist do something devious like that, just to get his own turn at the treasury in 2023? What else could have been Jagaban of Borgu’s motivation to fraudulently package his 2011 expired fellow Fulani as APC change messiah?

The worst type of such politicians are in All Promises Cancelled, APC.

Have you ever bought petrol for N70 or less since we allowed APC to take over and deliver their promised change?

Can you estimate how much you have spent on FORCED subsidy in the last 11 years because of APC’s massive corruption in the oil sector?

How do we get ourselves out of this messy quagmire huh

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

Importing substandard Chinese products cannot make a country to be great.

Industrialisation is the solution, not bringing in cheap substandard Chinese products

Enugu is already like Lagos and other Nigerian cities and towns in the absence of pipe borne water.

What is more basic than water supply in government services and utilities? What is it huh

The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.

InvertedHammer:

It is by far better than Enugu.

500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.

But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

So what did STELLA ODUAH did to that?
She was the Minister of Aviation under GEJ.

OKONJO IWEALA was the Minister of Finance,powerful enough in government to give the Financial backing.

ANYIM PIUS ANYIM was the Secererary to the government of the federation ,powerful enough to untie any administrative or political bottleneck

IKE EKWEREMADU and EMEKA IHEDIOHA were both chairman of constitutional reforms being deputy SP and Speaker.IKE EWEREMADU was even the Speaker of ECOWAS Parliament for good 12yrs.They were powerful enough to give the whole process the necessary legislative backing?

WHAT DID THEY DO?

We are asking this because we know some people Victim mentality default will shift the blame to Tinubu,Buhari,Hausa Fulani,Yorubas and Lago

Tinubu has, by this decision, removed Aviation from the Exclusive List which is good for our development.

Our Govs should also dive into the area of Power. They should invest in Power Generation and Distribution to improve on the economic development of their residents.

Good one for Gov Mba.
