A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, stop being sarcastic, it dosent change the fact that the Airport is important to kebbi economy. Anyone from Abuja,lagos can easily fly in to kebbi for business and out within hours, as opposed to long drives on bad roads to get there! You may not see it because you are myopic in your view but its the truth,
I lived through this in Akwa Ibom, Everyone said Airport was not important to the state because there was Calabar airport, and portharcout airports close by, but today we know the truth That airport has the 4th highest passenger traffic in the country Arik, Aero, Dana And discovery air are running daily flights from that airport today,
BA, Virgin, Etc may not land there today, but who knows tomorrow.
It will be well with kebbi airport.

No problem. So if you were challenged to utilise the funds spent on this airport in a more effective manner for the masses of kebbi state you will be unable to come up with over 100 different ideas?

If you are unable to put the funds to better use then you have a role in leading Nigeria waiting for you so don't worry.

If some one asked you where these photograhs were taken you would probably never guess that its from Nigeria, All the images besides the 1 one were all taken from brini Kebbi - bunza road Wurogauri Nigeria where lots of pakistani and other foreigners are busy making money mining for solid minerals and rare earth metals, And yet here we are bad mouthing one of our states that many who are commenting here have never been to.

The First image was taken in kebbi by a spanish professional photographer camisetaspersonalizadas - Caño Cristales - Los Ochos
Does that seem like a place someone might want to visit? I would pay to go see that, If our boko haram brothers were not blowing things up.
We Nigerians lack Knowlege of our territories, we base everything on preconceived stereotypes and not facts. little wonder the chadians and Nigeriens are trying to confiscate our territories because we have these riches and dont know what to do with it.

Dangote to Build U.S.$9 Billion Sugar Factory in Kebbi

President of the Dangote Group of Companies Alhaji Aliko Dangote said his company will establish a $9 billion sugar factory in Kebbi State.

He announced this yesterday while on a courtesy visit to Governor Saidu Usman Dakigari in Birnin Kebbi. The factory is expected to create about 75, 000 jobs upon completion.

Dangote also assured of steady electricity supply with the planned construction of over 150 megawatt power plant in the state.

He said: “For establishing companies or industries, there should be steady power supply in order to make the company efficient and effective in the state and the country at large.”

He said without electricity in the area, no company would survive emphasizing that “the issue of electricity in Nigeria is getting out of hand.”

Dangote also said the planned sugar factory will help the state to reduce unemployment level.

He said: “I believe that this will create about 75, 000 job opportunity in the state and also will cost over $9billion.”

Governor Dakingari who thanked Dangote for investing in the state assured of necessary supports from the state government and people.

The governor said over 80, 000 hectares of land have been earmarked for the project. He said cultivation of sugar cane would be done on the land which cut across four local government areas including Bagudo, Suru, Koko Besse and Shanga.

He said that the establishment of the plantations and factory will provide market for sugarcane farmers and boost the economic fortunes of the state.

Kebbi, Air Peace sign agreement on new airport

“We have scored history as the first airline within one month of its existence to sign agreement with a state government in the northern part of the country.

“The agreement is in the form of a contract to provide aircraft and develop the new airport,” he said.

We have also scored another first as the newest airline to sign an agreement with the Kebbi State Government to develop the new airport just completed in Birnin Kebbi.

This agreement would entail our developing the route and attracting traffic to the new airport from Abuja and a return flight to Kebbi.

The agreement has been signed and sealed on Monday in Kebbi .

“Part of the terms of the agreement would involve development of that route. We intend to extend the flights from Abuja to Kebbi to include Kebbi to Kano and a return flight from Kano to Kebbi .

“The agreement with the Kebbi State Government is part of efforts by the governor to open the state to all parts of the world through air link, which he has started with the construction and completion of the airport. The airport would accelerate the socio economic development of the state .

The airport is expected to generate jobs for people of the state . It would attract investment in many sectors of the economy”.

With the airport, Kebbi State has joined others using aviation as a catalyst to facilitate trade and business . The place is very safe. We are very excited over the partnership with Kebbi State, and Air Peace would play its role accordingly”, Inuema added.

On the airline’s expansion plans,Onyema declared : “From December 1, 2014 , we are expanding our operations with flights from Lagos into Asaba International Airport.This is not just plan for December, but we have had it in the pipeline . We consider Asaba Airport an important route .As more of our aircraft arrive , we would go beyond Asaba Airport and extend flights between Lagos and Warri . We will also extend flights between Warri and Port Harcourt and a return flight from Port Harcourt to Warri.”

Has any of the critics ever heard of famous Argungu Fishing Festival? guess where that festival holds? Kebbi State, Does it attract a lot of tourist and visitors?
One would think that The most famous fishing festival in Nigeria would be in the coastal areas, If you thought so you are wrong its in the North western state of kebbi, And some uninformed person will open their mouth to say kebbi has no tourist potential nor need an airport.

There are lots of tourism potentials in Kebbi and sokoto areas, If the spate of violence ends in the north, The North could be a tourist heaven In Nigeria, they have the nicest topography in the country.
