JUST IN!!! “Ebonyi International Airport To Be Completed In Eighteen Months” – Gov. Umahi Assures(Photos)

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, yesterday, while receiving the people of Ezza Nation who came on Christmas Homage to him assured Ebonyians that the construction of the recently approved International Airport by the Federal Government in Ezza North, Ebonyi state will be completed in eighteen months.

Igbere TV reports that Umahi noted that the standard of the International Airport that is being built in Ebonyi takes between Six and 10 years to be completed but it will only take Eighteen Months for the Ebonyi State Airport to be completed.

“Building an international Airport is not an easy one. To build Airport project like the one we are building in Ebonyi State takes six to eight years or even ten years but Ebonyi International Airport will be completed in Eighteen Months,” Gov. Umahi said.

He continued, “the tarmac of the Ebonyi International Airport will be on One Foot Concrete Pavement which is the highest ever in the World.”

“The highest I have known of is eight inches concrete base but this one will be a one foot concrete pavement which has been guaranteed to last for more than 50 years.”

He further innaugurated a committee that will ensure the smooth payment of compensation of crops and economic trees to owners in the affected communities.

Earlier, the Leader of the Group who doubles as the Secretary to Ebonyi State Government and Coordinating Commissioner, Kenneth Ugbala, PhD commended the Governor for inclusiveness of the people from Ezza Nation into key positions of his cabinet, his massive infrastructural development in Ezza Land and his choice of locating the Mega project of International Airport in Ezza Nation.

Its a welcome development





Some people from Ibadan will not like this

Umahi is trying

Frivolous project. What is the benefit of the airport to the common man on the street

Well, that's a good development... Gradually, we are getting there...

It will create job opportunities for the good people of Ebonyi State

This is a waste of meagre state resources or means to siphon state funds.Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu is just about an hour drive from Abakaliki yet it's not that economically viable as only Arik, Air-Peace & Ethiopia Airlines shuttle to the city.

Same way former Gov.Aregbesola started the failed MKO Abiola International Airport that have long became a shadow of itself after the corruption surrounding this white elephant project.Meanwhile the Akure Airport is just about an hour drive to the state just as in the Ai case.
Stop senseless waste of state resources.

Who will use the airport? Ebonyi people are largely street hawkers.

Tell them oooo the money would have been useful in building world class rice mill and rice market with lite Agro air field

Enemies of the east will say its a waste of money same enemies will criticise akanu ibaim airport because they hate any good project coming from SE.

The three rice mills built in the three senatorial zones, are what? Your village class own eh?

Still dunno why you lots, think the only thing Ebonyi should venture in her existence is only agriculture. Criticize constructively chap.

Looooooool

Imagine Ebonyi that has over 80% poverty rate, which means Ebonyi has the poorest citizens in the southern Nigeria.

Most Ebonyi indigenes could barely afford transport fare from Onitsha to Abakaleke. So who is gonna use this same airport if ever completed?

Total waste of resources that could have empowered millions of Ebonyi people to quit hawking of gala on the major cities of Lagos, Abuja, PH, Onitsha, etc

Shut up, that Aguleri cone man hasn't even cleared the grass meant for Anambra airport...

Why many governors building airports while their people are dying of poverty.
Ebonyi state is the last state that need airport now.

The poverty in that state is first class poverty.
