₦airaland Forum

Some stakeholders in South East have raised alarm over an alleged plot by some people in Nigeria, especially the Federal Ministry of aviation staff, to sabotage flight activities at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, to give the impression that it was not suitable to render international services.

South East stakeholders at the airport have consequently appealed to South East Governors Forum to equip the airport with vehicles that will convey passenger from the landing ground to the arrival hall, as well as other facilities, as the present condition of the airport was an embarrassment to the entire South East and Nigeria at large.

Spokesman of the stakeholders and Chairman of Osakwe Industrial Cluster, Onitsha, Mr. Johnson Okolo, who recently came back from a trip overseas and landed at the airport with other passengers from within and outside the country, including the wife of late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and former Ambassador of Nigeria to Spain, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, made the call while addressing newsmen in Onitsha.

He said “Akanu Ibam International Airport is the only Federal Government establishment in the South East that is functioning, and should not be allowed to be grounded, especially when some people are not happy that South East has an International Airport.
“Some people working in the airport are sabotaging its activities. There is a grand plan by some people to sabotage operations at the airport and we are warning that enough is enough of this sabotage. We are also calling on the Federal Government to expedite action on the work at the airport and also investigate the activities of all the aviation workers and other officials in the airport to know why some anomalies are going on in the airport.”

He said that he, Mrs. Ojukwu and other countries nationals who used the airport were stranded for 1.30 minutes waiting for the only bus that is used in conveying the passengers from the landing ground to the arrival hall, until a private vehicle was brought by somebody to drop them at the arrival hall.

“Keeping the late Ikemba’s wife and former Ambassador of Nigeria to Spain hours was an insult to Igbo people and Nigeria in general, keeping foreign nationals for so long in the airport because only one bus is being used for that shuttle service was an embarrassment for Nigeria as a country.

“Even when the lone bus used for that shuttle service from the landing ground to the arrival hall finally arrived, it had faulty air conditioner and the doors of the bus had to be opened for air to come in for the passengers, just as dust also came in for the passengers to inhale, that was another embarrassment to the country.”

Are there no Federal Universities in SE?

Are there no Federal Prisons in SE?

Are there no field office of various Federal MDAs there, a obtainable in other regions?

What do they plant in SE that will make Fed Min of Agric to have a presence there?

Which sea is in SE that will make NPA to site a port there?

When their "stealing daughter" built the "Akamu intergalactic waterlogged airport" for them, we told them she ripped them off. Th amount spent is not commensurate with with value gotten for the airport. Th report justifies our position.

Let "the leave our daughter alone" ethnic bigots keep trekking from the aircraft to the airport lounge.

Does it mean Stella Oduah didn't buy shutter buses for the Airport?

You see one thing i hate about those hyping Oduah? They made us feel she did a lot for the Airport when she actually didn't do much.

Too bad!

what on earth stops the east from taking over this Airport and turning it into an Aviation Hub a Boing 747 can be leased from a leasing company or out rightly bought for between $24 M to $400 M and weekly trips to London, Dubai , China, South Africa can be done , while Local Trips to other airports in Nigeria will also be done.

Most igbos all over the world will prefer flying the eastern airline than any other airline, The igbos built imo airport single handedly and shoudl take it back from the Federal Government which they handed over the Airport in the 80s during the military rule.

Igbo Nation with more than 45 million wel travelled population can run a very good airline and use Enugu and Owerri as ist hub just like emirates has Dubai airport as its hub and Etihad has Doha Airports as its hub

FolarinLondon:
Igbos are freaking pathetic and annoying......

Marginalisation and sabotage have always been their manipulating rhetoric but thank God we Nigerians know better now.

I have raised similar alarm before but some ethnic skunks roared and thundered in their trademark diatribe.
