In a working country a good rail transport system would have done it.

what has buhari got to do with this

Welcome to Nigeria

Nigeria will always be Nigeria

There is issue on that route regarding aircraft availability I believe. During NYSC, not once when I flew from Lagos to Asaba was there not a delay. It's not a very popular route, a good proportion of users are either foreigners, muscians (Dammy Krane & Wande Coal were on one of my flights). These type of journeys are once every 1 or 2 months there it's not as prioritized as other routes I think.

Shocking that they hadn't sorted this issue out months ago. They could have at least had a contingency plan where flights to Benin where considered with coaches completing the last miles of the journey from Benin to Asaba.

Seriously this country is messed up!!!
Kai! Giant of afrika indeed!

Anyway they should enter bus to asaba.

Report has it that the contingent from various African countries billed for the African Senior Athletics Championships are stranded in Lagos due to flight to Asaba, venue of the competition being unavailable. 

It was revealed that the athletes who managed to reach Asaba had spent at least a night in Lagos and many without their luggage. 

An International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) observer for the event beginning on Wednesday, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) anonymously that he arrived in Lagos on Sunday but could not get a flight to Asaba. 

“A lot of us had to pass the night in Lagos and at about 4 p.m. the following day, we boarded a local flight to Asaba,’’ he told NAN on Tuesday in Asaba. “By this time, the African contingent have increased in number and only limited spaces in the flight, so, a few had to stay back in Lagos.

“As I speak to you, my luggage hasn’t arrived in Asaba. We were told to go to the Asaba International Airport later in the day to see if they have brought them. “I am still on the same clothes since yesterday. It is just a terrible situation,’’ he said.

Abdoulaye Thiam, a Senegalese journalist, currently stranded in Lagos, told NAN via a social media platform that he had arrived on Monday but remained in Lagos due to same issue. 

The event is scheduled for Aug 1 to Aug. 5, at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.
