Our leaders sef. Enugu airport is than 1 hour to Abakiliki. Even travelling from Nyanya to abuja city takes about 1 hr 30 mins peak hour. And going from lagos to ajah takes 4 hours peak period. So lagos should construct 3 or 4 more airports or what?

YorubaAssasin:
This is the real definition of "Misplaced Priorities".

Here-portu.. abi? When the people need basic infrastructures like stable power, constant water supply, good roads, quality schools et al..

Good job indeed... Keep it up!

people never chop belleful the gov is talking of airport when enugu airport is a stone throw away

Damidave1124:
Every state capital is supposed to have an airport... Dont really know why some states are backward

u lie. Enugu airport is 1 hour away from abakiliki. So what does ebonyi need airport for?
Owerri airport is about 45 mins to umuahia. So what does abia need airport for? If the roads are good, awka is less than 1 hour to enugu and less than an hour to asaba airport, so what does anambra need airport for?

How many investors have visited Delta, Cross River, Kaduna, Oyo, Ondo with the airports in those states?

This is a waste of money. I am trying to understand Nigerian governors and their fascination with building airports.

of course the airport in those states is part of the reason those states are more open than states without airport

dokyOloye:
That is a misplaced priority Oga.
Enugu airport is 45mins or less away (you could even do it 30 mins if d road is free).

you're right about the timing as the airport is closer to Abakaliki than Nsukka which is in Enugu state...but don't you think it will create more jobs for the people

It won't be bad if Enugu people also use Ebonyi Airport.

nice input there

Obierika:
Ebonyi state cannot boast of a single world class manufacturing plant...

What do they need an airport for?

Nkalagu cement plant in Ebonyi is the largest in west Africa...other minerals are mined there too

bravehost4u:

Oga i too sabi, from your statement quoted above, That means a country like Nigeria does not deserve any airport because we have high deficiency in these basic infrastructures

In Business, there's what called "Prioritization" based on the most pressing needs to the least ones.

it will be used by does pple lookin for jobs and always sit opposite abakaliki staduim, or by those ur s.a , p.a or sp dat dnt hav offices u see dem in abakaliki staduim smokin weed and constituting nuisance, everywer, or better still the so called association of cultists called neighborhood watch, u only embark on huge projects to Symphony money not caring about its importance to citizens,

There are other less cost intensive ways of generating employment than an airport,especially for a small state like Ebonyi which has one of d smallest allocation and IGR.
How many ppl de enter plane from Ebonyi sef?

Pavore9:
With Enugu airport nearby, should an airport be a priority now?

I swear very misplaced priority. We have a good road leading to enugu. Not as if Ebonyi is one commercial hub like that. Mtchewwwwwww

So the only thing u know about ebonyians for is,hankerchief selling and barrow pushing.u are a slowpoke.

cosmatika:
Nigerian politicians and misplaced priorities. Wat does Ebonyi need airport for? Na these dere handkerchief sellers in Lag abi barrow pushers in Onitsha go dey enter d plane? Build industries and employ ur teeming youths

Extreme poverty is killing the vast majority of Ebonyi people and the idiot wants to build airport! What will gala hawkers and wheel barrow pushers use airport for?

This is a welcome development. We need more of this in Ebonyi to attract investors and to boost the states economy. Umahism the talk and do Governor.

eaglefrank:
One of the tinx I don't really understand is why sum ppl choose never accept that Governors' like Umahi has tried his best in giving the young state (Ebonyi) one of the best infrastructures. Ride on my infrastructure governor.

I can see lack of exposure here

The problem with many of you is that you talk a lot, like staying behind your keyboards to type rubbish, you all are just bitter wailers. If I may ask did any ebonyi person complain to you about the project, you all re busy shouting poverty and hunger in ebonyi like you have ever fed any ebonyi person in your entire life. Is your own state free of hunger?
Umahi embarked on flyover projects many of you came here and started shouting misplaced priority without considering the terrible accident that used to happen in those junctions , he started ring road project many of still complained, he embarked on empowering the youths n widows with 250000 and many of you shouted waste of money. Before this administration abakaliki was nothing to write home about which many of you always use to insult ebonyians but visit abakaliki now and see improvement. Nigercem cement will soon commence operation courtesy of the governor yet some of you are still pained.

I think it's justifiable to tell you all to shut up and mind the business in your various states. Ebonyians are not complaining

How many ppl de enter plane from Ebonyi sef?

is not about how many people de enter plane for Ebonyi after all not only Enugu indigenes use Akanu ibiam Airport...Enugu people can also use it.. Abia state can as well use it...many parts of Cross River like Ogoja and co are closer to Ebonyi than calabar and can use it..so the least is endless...Is not about Ebonyi alone

Obinna Odogwu, Abakaliki
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, on Wednesday, announced that the state government would start an airport project in the state early next year. He said that arrangement has been set in motion towards the actualisation of that project.
Governor Umahi disclosed this while hosting some officials of the Ethiopian Airline led by its Traffic and Sales Manager (Enugu), Mr. Solomon Mengistu, who paid him a courtesy call in Government House, Abakaliki, the state capital.
“We will start an airport project in Ebonyi early next year. The airport we will build may not be the biggest airport in the country but it will be the most beautiful. And there is nothing we say in this government that we cannot do”, he announced.
Meanwhile, the governor complained bitterly about the “substandard” aircrafts some international airlines send to Nigeria whereas they fly the best in their home countries and other western countries.
“I once complained to (name withheld) airline. I asked them why is it that they send substandard plane to Nigeria and when you get to Dubai, you now fly beautiful aircrafts even the one that you can take your bath inside if you’re in first class.
“If I were the President of this country, I will not allow it. We need to be treated like other countries”, he said.

Meanwhile, the governor had earlier commissioned 39 tricycle ambulances procured by the state government for onward distribution to some primary health centres across the 13 Local Government Areas of the state.
Umahi said that the gesture was part of the government’s numerous arrangements to revamp the health sector in the state in the best interest of his countrymen. He said that his administration would not leave any stone unturned until he repositions the health sector in the state.

God bless you sir for this subjective criticism of this proposed project. You did it without throwing insults or criticizing the people. We need more people like you. Am guessing your an economist.
