Jubilation As First Commercial Flight Lands At Bayelsa Airport by Kingosytex(m): 12:39am On Aug 12, 2021 |
There was wild jubilation in Bayelsa State, on Wednesday as United Nigeria Airline (UNA) aircraft dropped the first commercial flight to commence operations at the Bayelsa State International Airport. DAILY POST gathered that the aircraft took off from the Murtala Mohammed Airport 2 (MMA2) in Lagos at exactly 3pm. The plane had on board the state governor, Senator Douye Diri, the airline’s chairman, Chief Obiora Okonkwo, Tokyo Olympics 2021 Silver medallist in wrestling, Bayelsa-born Blessing Oborududu. Others were King Alfred Diete-Spiff, Ambassador Boladei Igali, members of the Bayelsa National Assembly caucus as well as the state House of Assembly members and commissioners among other dignitaries. A mammoth crowd of jubilant Bayelsans had thronged the airport from early in the morning in order to witness the historic event. Addressing the crowd on arrival, Governor Diri said full commercial flights would commence in two weeks based on bookings made. The governor also noted that commencement of commercial flight signalled economic development of the state by bringing Bayelsa to the world and the world to Bayelsa. His words: “This significant event is the culmination of the aspirations that was birthed by late Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, former governor of the state, which was eventually built by Senator Seriake Dickson, my predecessor. And it is under my administration that this project was crystallised. This is a demonstration that team work truly works. “I am happy to report to you that the pilot of the United Nigeria Airline said our runway is one of the best in Nigeria. It is our determination to make Bayelsa truly the Glory of All Lands and we are making Bayelsa a construction site”. Senator Diri also expressed gratitude to his deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, and his team whom he said worked tirelessly to bring the project to fruition. Speaking on behalf of the state’s National Assembly caucus, Senator Moses Cleopas, representing Central Senatorial District, congratulated Governor Diri and Bayelsans for achieving the feat and lauded him for his visionary leadership. https://dailypost.ng/2021/08/11/jubilation-as-first-commercial-flight-lands-at-bayelsa-airport/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44

Building an airport is good but the main question is can it pay for itself. How do you drive traffic to the airport, what stands it out from other airports built and being built across the country. When an investment depends on the government alone to function that project is doomed for failure in this country. Kudos to the governor and good people of the state but this is the first phase of the party (Notice and Invitations), Now to convince them to come not just for the first time but keep coming to your party. |

All these self aggrandizing governors with building sun standard airport Judy for their own use.. so no state governor can even built something of world class.. Shame on our archaic architects |

Bayelsa election was one of worst where the will of the people ended up being completely thwarted. But I am happy the govt is now doing well. Hope this continues. |
