We r talking of airport u talking of cargo port.....r u normal??

SpaceTour:
Weep all that you want but Anambra International Cargo Airport is already under construction. Anambra International Cargo Airport is being built at Otuocha which is central to the major cities of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi.

Anambra International Cargo Airport will also serve as a hub for ATK in West Africa where planes from all over the continent will land to refill due to nearness to the Orient Petroleum.

Anambra is developing 3 worldclass malls in our major cities while that of Onitsha is due to open to customers next month.

Take your worthless advice elsewhere because it is dead on arrival.

Did Okowa of Delta state tell you that he' building a new airport? Please provide evidence of this. Asaba already has an existing airport.

Anambra and Abia doesnt need any airport at this time.

Enugu Airport is only 30 mins away from heart of an Onitsha .

Asaba airport is 10 mins from Onitsha.
If the proposed airport is built in oba which is at least 45 mins from Onitsha . Most businessmen will still prefer ASABA airport with is literally across the pond.


Same for ABA. There are two airports within 30mins of ABA - Imo airport and portharcourt airport.
If the proposed airport is built in umuahia, owerri airport will still be closer to ABA business men and will continue to be preferred due to proximity.

I rather they plunge that money into other state infrastructure.

They can built world class hospital for a start.

Or a dubai class shopping mall and move their current dirty markets into malls.
Enugu is 1hr 45 mins from Onitsha, that was when Enugu Onitsha express way was good. Now it's 3hrs...
Re: 8 Governors Who Have No Business Building Airports by ifevictor:
Most commentators on nairaland have refused to avail themselves of adequate information about issue before commenting. Nigeria considering it's present economic state has no need for new airports anywhere in the country. of all the existing airports, statistics have shown that only 3 are economically viable and sustainable. so why should they continue wasting taxpayers money on projects that aren't sustainable. Instead of those states forming regional collaboration to open their states by building high speed rail across their state that will be affordable and sustainable at the long run. Airports in ibadan, Akure, Benin, ilorin have not shown any sign of economic viability. Furthermore, considering the present purchasing power of a typical Nigerian, how many people have enough purchasing power to fly instead of boarding bus... Proper planning and critical analysis ought to have carried out before constructing huge projects and not just scoring political points at the detriment of more important areas of national life.

I will always say something. The major problem of a typical anambra person is inferiority complex and insecurity. They must always argue aggressively over nonsense. I believe that some mods on this nairaland are on the payroll of the anambra state government. To be sincere...what exactly do u need an airport for? There are three airports surrounding there, no matter which side y are going to in anambra. Asaba, enugu and owerri. Aba market is even the main production market in the southeast and that area might even be in more need for an airport than anambra, but typical abia ppl dont make noise and they are quite reasonable ppl.inferiority complex shows on al of u everytime u open ur mouth in public. You all just want an airport simply because u want to brag u have an airport and NOTHING ELSE!!!see them bragging as usual, when it is known that more than half of the traders on onitsha are not even from anambra. They will claim that they built lagos, then will also claim that they built anambra. It is natural for onitsha to have such economic values, becos it is close to the sea/port. Its just like lagos indigenes bragging that they built lagos, simply because of the geographical advantage of lagos over other sw states. I have noticed that whenever a post is made about another southeast governor/state, anambra ppl will hijack the tread nd insult that state/governor. Unfortunately, the indigenes of that state will never defend their state (well it could be because they are not jobless or insecure). Believe me, with these anambra ppl, biafra is just a waste of time. Because, they are a bunch of uncivilized, noise making braggarts, and whn/if biafra is actualised, they will turn themselves into nuisances. Abiriba ppl in abia state ARE the richest set of Igbos (quote me anywhere), but u dont hear noise from them. Even Delta and Imo ppl have lots of billionaires, but they do not make noise because there are many civilized and secure ppl from there. They do not feel the need to brag anyhow to show their wealth. I am thru with my epistle, dont bother menstruating under my comment.i wont reply u...no time at all..

I think the post is not necessarily about governors who want to build airports.

It's about governors who shouldn't build airports, on the premise that they have 1 or 2 cities close enough that they could use the airports in those cities.

An example is anambra.... asaba airport is about 30 to 45 mins from onitsha (without traffic). Enugu is roughly 1hr to 1hr 20mins.

Abia (aba and umuahia) are both less than 1 hour from the airport in owerri.

Ebonyi people already use the Enugu airport which is about 1hr from abakiliki.

I stay in the SS/SE that's why I used these places as examples.

I hope you get the idea why this post has the above caption.
I agree wit u, but asaba airport was already there, okowa didn't built it, so the op didn't had to mention his name, that guy doesn't has any intension of building an airport.

There was a sampled opinion done on Rockcity F.M Abeokuta about dis topic and like 80% of the callers/contributors said OGUNSTATE dont need any airport for now,Amosun should do the rural roads,he cant finish the airport in 3.8yrs(so it doesnt end up like daniel's olokola project),the most he could do is construct an airfield at the current ewekoro site and when the wherewithal come the coming administratn could facelift it into an airport.i only wonder wat happened to the tran-southwestern railline proposed last 2yrs ago?
Cargo na same with airport? The truth is, the proposed Cargo airport to be sited at Iperu-ilisan is not just a cargo airport. It comes with a lot of facilities and benefits to the host towns and Ogun state. E.g

Facilities:

· Airstrip for light to medium cargo and commercial air traffic

· Helicopter shuttle/taxi services

· Aircraft maintenance Hanger

· Pilot training school

· Airline services training school Flying club

· Theme park

· Housing estate

· Travelers' inn/bus terminus

· Parcel and light mail delivery services and cargo depot

· Warehousing services/Cold storage services

· Petroleum Products depot/fuel farm

· NNPC mega petrol station

· Agricultural cargo depot

· supportive cottage industries

· A terminal for the Lagos, Ogun and Oyo Light Rail Project Hospitality and resort

complex with training facilities

· Banking and Financial services

Cargo Airport Project Opportunities:

• Airport Development Company

• Airline Services Company

• Airline Training School

• Airline maintenance facilities

• Cold warehouse Storage facilities

• Agricultural Processing

• Bonded Storage

• Real Estate Development

• Tourism/ Hospitality

• Fuel Tank Farms development

• Haulage/Logistics

• Infrastructural development

• Horticulture Farming

• New Towns development

• International Conference facilities

• Industrial Parks

As you can see, Ogun state needs that airport more than any state. If the Governor refuses to build that airport, let APC forget about winning the next election.

Re: 8 Governors Who Have No Business Building Airports by Presidiotbuhari: 12:07am On Mar 23, 2016
Anybody who is not happy with the proposed anambra cargo airport should jump into lagoon for all we anambrerians care for.

If the 3 states bordering anambra state built their airports with the hope that anambra people, been the most travelling group will perpetually patronize them and never have they own airport, then they are about to be disappointed. Monkey no go the work and babboon go the chop. It is time to put ur money where ur mouth is. The taxes and revenue generated from these airports is it been shared with anambra state, no, so why then should anambra been more viable jettison theirs because a near by state has an airport?.

We don't care about your useless and worthless and pointless display of anger and frustration over our advancement and resolve to own our own aviation facilities. LOL! The point is that the airport is already ongoing in Anambra whether for bragging right or for economic right it is none of your hopeless business. cheesy

We are the best in all the positive fields. Look for the lagoon to do the needful if it pained you so much.

Re: 8 Governors Who Have No Business Building Airports by October1960: 2:18am On Mar 23, 2016
Nigeria is cursed with slowpoke thieving leaders at every level.

Instead of focusing on good roads and electricity to bring Nigeria into modern times they focus on a project that will benefit a few thieves with private jets

There is no commercially viable traffic to most airports mentioned in this writeup.

Apart from Abuja, Lagos and maybe PH most of the nation will be better served with trains and good roads.

So because enugu has an airport, Anambra should not build theirs? What a warped logic
Re: 8 Governors Who Have No Business Building Airports by SpaceTour:
I think the reverse is the case. Do you know that even ordinary Asaba airport has more traffic than Enugu airport? This is because most air travelers from Anambra switched. But above all Anambra airport may likely "sink" the 2 airports because the one in Anambra will have commercial sale of ATK and also cargo facilities coupled with the huge air travellers in the state.

Don't mind most of the comments you read though it is very provocative. They appear as if they love you with their advises but they are actually intimidated and doing it to discourage such noble idea that will see Anambra dominate the aviation sector like they dominated every other sectors in Nigeria. They all know the airport will be among the most viable in Nigeria hence their attack but the good news is that the said project has taken off, the next thing you will see is flights landing and taking off.
