The only functional airport in the south-south you just mentioned are;
Port Harcourt
Benin
Calabar

Every other airport in the zone is helipad and emergency landing field. Is it Delta airport, that cannot contain a drone

Akwa ibom airport is quite functional and is one of the few airports in the country that has a dual run way

Pls, does anybody have information about the level of construction at the ANAMBRA CARGO AIRPORT.

Story for another day but subjectively,i dont think a cargo airport is an immediate priority for the oil rich state.its not by force to have an airport.what is the volume of trading or prpduction of goods in that state that warrants a cargo airport? I think the immediate priorities are portable water,good roads,functional healthcare system,provision of employment opportunities,attraction of investors,building of more schools and uplifting the existing ones,tackling the problems of the state owned ndu,engaging the youths in skill acquisition and other part time schemes with the purpose of absorbing them into the civil service or giving them grants to start up something since theres a lot of youth restiveness in bayelsa.
Cargo airport is elitist and not masses oriented.how many poor men use the airport.bayelsa is full of waterways.the governor can develop a good water transport system like lagos and develop the road network system,this cargo airport can come in future.the sokoto governor seems to be referring to seriake when he said flyovers are not what his people need but masses oriented projects.if dickson dont know how to effectively utilize the huge allocation he gets,let him consult tambuwal or ambode.up buhari

.

Uyo Airport with a 2nd Runway &one of the longest runway is an helipad?

A daily to&fro flight from Lagos and Abuja operated by Arik, Air Peace &Dana Airlines that can land Boeing737 Aircraft you called an Helipad?
An Airport that handled InT'L flight during the pilgrim to Israel &airlifted Super Eagles to Cameroon to honour their WC Qualifying match is an Helipad?
Guy u need to think well.
Let me just assume you're very ignorant about the Airport.

AutoReportNG:
As Bayelsa state is preparing for the commissioning of its Bayelsa Cargo Airport, we felt it worthwhile to show our readers the level of work and how far the state government has fared in this project. According to reports, the construction started in 2014 under the GEJ administration, even though the state government tries to meet up and to fast-track its running, construction but it seems situations in the country made it drag for so long.

We are able to get some pictures from the ground-breaking, the construction and up to the last phase. We will all recall that the state government promised that the cargo airport will be ready by August 2018. According to the Bayelsa's ministry of communication, the project was funded by the state government 100%.

AutoReportNG was able to get some sights and sounds from the cargo airport.

Once this Airport Project is Completed &commissioned, it therefore means all the States in the South-South Region has an Airport.

Namely:

Margaret Ekpo Int'L Airport, Calabar, Cross River State.

Ibom Int'L Airport, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

Port HarcourT Int'L Airport, Port Harcourt
Rivers State.

Bayelsa Cargo Airport, Bayelsa State.

Asaba Int'L Airport, Delta State.

Benin City Airport, Edo State.

If only 90% of them all could be converted to sea ports ..

How I wish the runway was a rail line and the terminal the hub of an industrial park. The governments we have are just not thinking properly. When they sit in council of state meetings what the father of them all, the federal government should be doing is urging and planning for the states to spend more on rail infrastructure rather than roads. The feds will guarantee loans and the states will build interconnecting rail networks from their prime zones of production be it farm centres, processing plants, mining sites according to set developmental objectives so that a rice farmer in Sokoto can get his rice to a mill in Abakaliki and off to the ports in Lagos for export at very low costs. It will open up Nigeria to all spheres of productivity, make our goods competitive, preserve our road network and create millions of new jobs.

With this sort of plan states will be falling over themselves to connect to the network and the rollout will be quicker. As I was telling someone this week, there is no country I know with a desire to have an industrial backbone or have developed that does not have at its core, a functional cargo rail system. The most advanced country on earth, the United States depends heavily on rail for its industrial production and exports so what is a Bayelsa state in a third world country doing with an airport.

In world trade what is the volume and value of airfreight compared to land and sea freight both nationally and internationally, very small and who can afford airfreight by the way.
