more of the beautiful airport. these airport will open Yankari games reserve to the world. cant wait to go back and enjoy the wiki warm springs.

Not a fantastic looking airport !
Anyway it just a local airport and will just serve the state!
Good development anyway!........ like i always said all states should have a functioning airport,nigeria economy is large enough to busy all the aiport, some state can even have two like lagos is doing

What percentage of the population of Nigeria can afford to travel by air? I believe the Northern Governors should build cargo Airports instead to aid the transportation of goods and cash crops to and fro effectively.

Nice one.but the airport doesn't really enticed me,it looks out of fashion.

Pls, what's the name of this desert? Na wa o! So this climate change of a thing is serious.

It looks dated and small! Anyone know the budgeted cost?

This airport looks really dry.
it's a state govt project sha.
Thumbs up anyway.

THRASH!!! This pile of cement n steel dosent look anything close to a standard airport. Stupid Governor should focus more on educating his constituency rather than building an airport. But, they will never do that. I wonder if it is the almajiris or the nomads that will use it.

Is that an airport? Pls @op delete those pics don't ridicule him and Nigeria.

local made airport

LOL, thats not really an airport. That could pass for a village Aerodrome.

Looks more like a prison.

I'm sorry but this looks amateurish to me, I wouldn't want my private jet landing there.

Pls, what site(s) can one apply for jobs dere?

this is prison ohh

Everything is called international Airport in Nigeria these days,it's really sad that the Airfield up there is International Airport. How many people in Bauchi State can even afford to pay for an airplane ticket. What they need in Bauchi State is a Cargo Hanger so cargo planes and use it to transport cows "beef" to the east.

Looks like deserted post war era air strip.
The control tower looks like a that of a prison.

why are you all badmouthing the airport? it will serve the need of the state as they will have a place to hub in and hub out as long as there is patronage.
Its the operational capacity that really count not the aesthetics. am sure the people of bauchi are happy with the development.
they were similar criticism for the uyo and asaba airport when they were being built. but today the people of those states are enjoying their airports.

These is a state project it should be applauded. because thats the duty of state govt to provide infrastructures. most of the big airport you see today did not start out big, they get expanded/upgraded as the need arises.This one might be upgraded in due course if there is need.

otokx: Looks more like a prison.

Gbam

An airport almost ready for operation?
Op you need to be sued for misusing the word 'beautiful'!

oya sue me lol
beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i see tourism potential in bauchi cos ive been there and i know whats on ground there at yankari. once boko haram calms down these airport might give verve to that region.
You dont have to agree with me but i believe these strongly and i know the governor does too.

Kinda agree with you but the airport is far from beautiful! It should be transformed to Yankari Games Reserve; looks more suitable for it!

Its quite commendable going by the the amount available for the Governor to work with.

He built that whole terminal for N8billion naira this governor is a magician and should be applauded go and ask Akpabio and udaughan how much their terminal cost and you would be amazed at how prudent this guy is?

Besides even if you don't appreciate his prudence or vision, remember governors across the country are stealing/looting the this kind of project money. if it come to the choice between stealing/ looting the money and building and infrastructure no matter how ill advised i will choose the latter always.
