Akwa ibom making enormous and tremendous progress�

Yes ooo

tammie24:
Other state governors especially Northern part of Nigeria will see this then go and build 10,000 mosques and say they have done something for their people

Akwa Ibom is what Delta and Bayelsa could have been with common sense leadership.

Not saying the leaders there is not corrupt, but they have a plan and despite the change in leadership they have by and large stuck to it.

I hope it leads to larger things so the people of that state can benefit.

Ibom Air (QI, Uyo) is planning to offer direct flights from Nigeria to Cameroon in the near future according to a report carried by the Vanguard Nigeria daily newspaper.

Talking to the media recently, Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Emmanuel Ekuwem said: “There’s a demand from our neighbouring country, Cameroon, for Cameroonians to be connected directly to Lagos or Abuja instead of flying to Lomé [Togo] before connecting a flight to Abuja or Lagos.”

During his briefing, he revealed that Ibom Air has traffic rights to fly to Cameroon from Uyo, Abuja or Lagos and that the airline was planning to launch flights to Douala initially. According to the ch-aviation schedules module, ASKY Airlines (KP, Lomé) is currently the only carrier operating between Cameroon and Nigeria offering three weekly flights from Lagos to Douala and from Abuja to Yaoundé Nsimalen.

There are currently no details on the new Douala route specifics like the planned start date or weekly frequency, although Ekuwem confirmed that Uyo's international terminal building will be ready to handle flights before the end of 2020.

Ibom Air, which commenced scheduled operations in June last year, presently operates a 17x weekly service from Uyo to Abuja and a similar weekly frequency to Lagos with its fleet of three CRJ900s.

God bless u for always putting my dear state in good light. You are doing well.

otokx:
They should do Uyo - Calabar - Cameroon and consider Equitorial Guinea.

That's their plans... Uyo will be like an hanger or hub for their reconnecting flights.. Or simply a transit point like Addis Ababa.. Ethiopia

Babe, you dey vex ooh. It's quite sad but dat is d truth.

Queenlovely:
I will complain,

leave me to complain

no African country has been able to do the impossible. raise millions of people out of poverty, we are not progressing at all. why?

from the past you can predict the future, no government airline has ever thrived in Nigeria, hope and optimism abound at first until progress halt and decay take over

SmartPolician:


Stop taking this GDP figures seriously until Buhari grows some balls to conduct an unbiased census

The last census was in 2006. Up till now, we keep assuming that our population is 200 million

So what are you saying n essence ??

cicero:
Here we go. Why go international before solidifying your local business structure to be sustainable?

Please we are not understanding ooo

Ilaumoh:

e go pain you forever

You won't see northern states on top on lists like this.

Mo3891:


Poverty rate in Lagos is lowest in Nigeria, even Okada riders in Lagos are rich men in ebonyi and Sokoto

EVILFOREST:

I thought MOST NAIRALANDERS insulted the GOVERNOR when he embarked on this, calling it an error in the creation of wealth....?
The TRUTH is that, when you interact with most average Nigerian Youths, you will weep at the level most Intelligent Quotients are operating....
You would discover that many can't sustain discussions with intelligent minds.

Many are just entirely wallowed in SEXUAL expeditions and Fantasies, nothing more.

Nice submission bro

Primebuilders:


But air pix is making it. Most people that goes into business do not have the tech. Knowhow. They thought money is everything I

Nice

Please what is Abia State doing

I dont understand those humans running that state since 1999... ... Na Wa oooo.

EVILFOREST:

They may secure such if they sustain the momentum and secure all certificates...

Yes, that's the target

EdiskyHarry:

My brother let's talk true and leave sentiments una Akwa Ibom Governors love your people yes they are not perfect but Atleast in all honesty you guys grew rapidly

Ilaumoh:

So what are you saying n essence ??

As far as Nigeria is concerned, you should use other indices to measure growth but not figures.

Meanwhile, Nigeria is not a serious country. Every serious country have a national database to know and track the actual population of the country.

Not only that,approve re painting of cemetery��
