Nigerian Buys Gatwick Airport by aloyemeka2: 2:02am On Feb 13, 2010 |
Gatwick Buyer Promises 'First Class' Service 11:53am UK, Thursday October 29, 2009 The man set to become the new owner of Gatwick Airport, tells Sky News how he is going to shake-up Britain's airport business. In an exclusive interview with Jeff Randall, Adebayo Ogunlesi, chairman of Global Infrastructure Partners, said he is going "to make Gatwick a truly first class experience". However he cautioned it would take "somewhere between 12 and 18 months" before passengers started noticing a difference at the airport. GIP agreed a £1.51bn deal with Gatwick's current operator BAA last week, which represented a "good price", Mr Ogunlesi said. ![]() Adebayo Ogunlesi The fund, which invests in the energy, transport and waste sectors, has already spent over £1bn so far this year, encouraged by falling asset prices. Mr Ogunlesi said the UK's strong regulatory framework and attractive assets made "Britain a wonderful place to invest". "We love Britain," Mr Ogunlesi added. The sale of Gatwick to GIP, which is subject to approval by the European Union, is due to be completed by the end of the year. The airport is currently run by BAA, which posted a pre-tax loss of over £780m in the first nine months of the year. The airport operator said it lost £225m on Gatwick after being forced to sell the airport by the Competition Commission. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Business/Gatwick-Airport-Adebayo-Ogunlesi-Tells-Jeff-Randall-He-Will-Shake-Up-Britains-Airport-Business/Article/200910415421255?f=rss |

SEFAGO: His achievement is not stale unless you have achieved something closer to that. If he didn't buy it nko as long as his name dey for the deal?. Nigerians have a way of rubbishing another's achievement because of bad belle.

Beaf: I know you are kidding but don't sell this idea to Nigerians We are not talking about governement business but private enterprises, no nigerian 'family travel please', that is how Nigerian Airways went under. SEFAGO: You remarks is negative and you should always appreciate whatever your country person can do that will lift the name and image of our dear country which will ultimately flow to everybody as Muttalab actions has flown to everyone in a negative way We thank God that we can have good news involving Nigerians. Now, let the Rebranding start. |

For me, it's not whether the news is stale or recent, it's that I couldn't understand why this is not in the World press media? I searched through BBC, CNN, ABC, FOX etc, I'm perplexed that this story is not there as 10% much as Muttalab made the World Headlines |
