Update on construction works for the new Ebonyi airport.

Really impressed with the level and standard of works completed so far. One of the officials interviewed mentioned they hope the first plane would land at the airport by october this year. Really don't know where Governor Umahi is finding the money to do all these mega projects in the state. The man would go down in history as the architect and father of modern Ebonyi.

At this point, i've given up begging for the colour riot used on all these public buildings and flyovers to toned down a bit! Seems Umahi isn't listening so what's the point!?

This airport would serve the state as a socio-economic catalyst......its benefits and effect on the states economy would start to be felt in the next three to four years. I hope they engage experienced international consultants with a good track record in airport construction so the highest safety/operational/technical standards are met for the airports smooth takeoff in october. Also, priority should be given to properly landscaping the airports surroundings and approach road.

Latest updates on construction works at Ebonyi int'l airport. They seem to be moving at breakneck speed and i'm still left wondering where Umahi is getting the funds for all these impressive projects he's delivering!

I like how they use local contractors for these mega projects. However in doing this, health and safety shouldn't be compromised. I noticed the workers aren't properly kitted out in the approriate PPE. Even saw one with barefeet....this is unacceptable! I want to see the project realised, but not at the expense of any of those workers health.

The massive gate section of the terminal that will have the avio-bridges for embarking/disembarking from planes will be separated so local and international passengers don't mix. I reckon when the new Anambra airport wants to commence int'l flight operations, they may have to build a new terminal for this as the present one isn't configured or big enough to handle both local and int'l flights.

The control tower structure looks a bit different from the norm doesn't it?. But then it's Umahi we're talking about here, so we should expect to see that his unique touch show up at some point!

This airport will help catalyse the Ebonyi economy by ten-fold at least. This is why all these roads and flyovers he's building now are a good idea as he's repositioning the state for the expected economic boost it will witness in the coming years.

Nawa oo. This airport was just started last year or two ago and I read when they started work on it here on nairaland and it's almost complete.

I wonder why Aregbesola didn't work hard to deliver osun airport atleast by now it would have been put to good use and many investors looking for air connection can confidently invest.

Ebonyi people, una no go value Wetin una get until this man is out of office, I even learnt he doesn't owe pension and salary

christejames:
Thanks for the updates...


Pictures will also go a long way in conveying the message because it's not everyone that have the time and data to stream videos.

I am from Anambra State but would like to fly into Nigeria through this Ebonyi Airport !!! I am really proud of it. I wish the airport a huge success and pray that federal politics will not scuttle the success of the airport. Another factor that will enhance the airport is RAIL LINK connecting all SOUTH EASTERN STATES so that we can travel with ease to our various states when we land at Abakaliki. South East governors may not have to wait for the federal government but go ahead with the joint South East rail project and get reimbursement in future if it will happen.
Regarding the signature multicolours Umahi projects, it is part of a statement. In some tourist destinations, all houses are painted white. If the multicolours go out of fashion, they are easy to change by only replacing those colourful coverings with any desired colour. It is just a weeks job.
Meanwhile kudos to Ebonyi state

I am from enugu state but u will like to fly into enugu state through ebonyi airport. This is because enugu airport is useless, worthless and unsafe. For international travels I would want to fly into Nigeria through Anambra international airport which is the best and busiest airport in igboland.

All the SE governors should contribute funds and build speed rail lines linking all the SE states to the Anambra International airport so that all the SE states will have easy access to international travels through the airport.

Anambra international airport has given SE region the access to the world because it has the longest runway in Nigeria aside MMIA. Flights can land via ends of the runway and it has Internet landing systems.

Congratulations to Anambra for giving igboland this wonderful infrastructure

Dude, don’t bring your insecurity and quarrelsome nature to this thread!

What is wrong in anyone of Igbo heritage wanting to fly into Nigeria through the new Ebonyi airport or any other international airport in his region….even if it’s just to check things out and patronise the new airport in its first few months of operation?

PROUDIGBO:


I believe ALL Nigerian governors need to have a sit down with Umahi to see how they can benefit from his knowledge and maximise use of their own resources. Even those who feel they're comparatively well-off could still benefit and, through implementing cost-saving measures, have even more funds at their disposal for delivering the vision they have for their states.
