It is becoming glaringly clear that Umahi borrowed and wasted billions of naira on an airport that all analysts proved wasn’t going to be viable. Today it is now clear to everyone that umahi wasted borrowed billions on ego trip project when most ebonyi people are poor, uneducated and hawking almost everywhere in Nigeria.

Poverty rate in ebonyi is over 80%. when the idea of the airport was first muted, some analysts advised that umahi should use the said funds for the project and invest heavily in human resource development and education, but he shoved it aside, today no Nigerian airline want to fly to ebonyi simply because it is a very unviable route for airlines.

What do you suggest for the present administration in ebonyi state as regards to the abandoned airport?

Do they have snow in Ebonyi? The image appears to have snow on ground

The Said Airport, Is Yet To Be Completed. Physical Structures are done and dusted but other Installations, e.g, Main Installations on the Tower, Run Ways etc, are yet to be Installed, because the New Administration, have Refused to Pay Contractors that completed their Jobs, and those that have completed to the Contracts AGREED TERMS or Reached a Milestone to receive FUNDS.

Saying that No Airlines, want to fly that Route is an Error.

Dave Umahi, remains the best thing to have happened to the people of Ebonyi State and the People of South East, to have Opened up Ebonyi State to Each LGA

Does it mean that Ebonyi people are too poor to afford flight tickets to their state?

Every Igbo man should be hailing Ebonyi Airport , the terminal building of Muhammadu Buhari Airport Ebonyi State, is at least 3 times the size of Enugu and Anambra airport terminal buildings combined.
It is an international airport of world-class standards with the capacity to handle the largest aircrafts in the world.

When full funtional it would be the first genuine fully functioning international airport in the SE and SS. It has the potential to boost ecnomy of the entire region.

Ebonyi state has overtaken all othe SE states for infrastructure , insulting Umahi won't change that.Just be happy for Ebonyi people, because their success is alaigbo success and Nigeria's success.

you wont blame him
these are things APC members celebrates

Peter obi invested heavily in education, health, security and human capital development. that is why anambra is best in all these areas until the issue of IPOB started.
but APC members are looking for bridges he built and IGR he generated when it was very clear that the problem of anambra wasnt traffic at that time but education, helath and security and that were the areas he concentrated.

Ganduje have built bridges in kano that is totally useless with borrowed billions of naira when the education sector in the state is in a serious comatoes. El rufai did same in kaduna, when insecurity is their main problems.

God need to deliver Nigerians from this evil apc and its supporters

Let them convert it to a shopping Mall, instead.

of what use is now the airpoirt?

three months after, not even a single flight have landed there.

infrastruture without use is just an elephat project
with time, it will start decaying.

he should invested heavily in education and human capital development

una sha nor get sense for APC, i am not surprised.

u see what borno state gov is doing, that is what true governace is not building rubbish just to show off

Empty Cargo

Akwamkpuruamu:

Nothing less or more.

Racoon:
Dave Umahi is an untiring workaholics but this airport thing is a big dent to him.

It isn't just the airport. Some unnecessary flyovers that he built are wasted resources

AFTER ALL THE TEARS, EBONYI AIRPORT IS CURRENTLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AIRPORT IN NIGERIA.




WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS, AND WATCH THE CROWD.





NO LONGER WILL THEY CLOSE AIRPORT IN SE AND DIRECT IGBO TO LAGOS OR PORT HARCOURT.




WE HAVE TOO MANY AIRPORT NOW IN SE ZONE AND MORE STILL COMING.




WE KEEP WINNING, LET THE HATERS HATE

Tareq1105:


So, no Ebonyi state indigene has private jet? Abi Ebonyi state indigene no dey travel home by Air?

Ebonyi has no bubbling commercial activity as to sustain that white elephant airport project. Distance between Enugu to Abakaliki is not more than 45mins drive. Which airline wan operate from abakaliki? Umahi no get business sense

Comments made few months ago, people were yapping someone. Imagine blowing such money and the place ends up deserted.
Obviously, lizards and other wild animals will take over the place after vandals hold sway.
Was a feasibility study not done?

Lol. You dare not advise them o. They might allocate you a village in Osun and Oyo at the same time.

The money for this waste will be relayed one way or another now so next time they should learn to reason things out.

THERE IS STILL WORK GOING ON THERE.


THE AIRPORT WAS NOT COMPLETED YET.


THE REAL OPENING WILL BE THIS DECEMBER, WITH INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.



IGBO ARE NOT GOING TO LAGOS OR PORT HARCOURT.




IF ENUGU IS NOT READY, WE USE EBONYI AND ANAMBRA.



BOTH ANAMBRA AND EBONYI WILL BE VERY BUSY

My friend I am more Igbo than you,awum(abum) nwafor imo state...I know what I'm saying

I think he is RIGHT.🤔🙂

Anambra needs an Airport.

The State is Quite big,.

Not like Ebonyi which is small like Bayelsa state.😕

Giftexx:


How will potential investors visit ebonyi if it doesn't have an airport...
To me, It's a good a great step in the right direction

So those investors can't land in Enugu and drive one hr to Abakaliki

Exclusive101:
Hate filled foolish ipob everywhere.
As the airport been commissioned ?!

Bro, it's common knowledge, ebonyi and Enugu is 30minutes apart, Enugu is adjudged as international airport, based on the closeness, there shouldn't be an airport, there's no major trade area in ebonyi etc. That billions should have gone into other things...

When HE Peter Obi invested heavily on EDUCATION,☺️😎

Some APC dingBATS laugh at him, that why didn't he turn Anambra to Dubai. 😕

scholes23:
Not surprised. You don't expect an aircraft to land in a glorified motor park

brutal!

This airport is collossal arguable the biggest airport in the country. it's potential to boost the economy of zebonyi and the region should not be underestimated .

It is on par with Lagos and Abuja airports and it is just a matter of time before it becomes the airport of choice for the entire South of Nigeria.

E go turn to private airstrip for govt officials that don't want to land in enugu

how is building an airport a dent? You people dey ment

Umahi is a good gov he did many projects despite ebonyi is a poor state

Let them convert it to aeromechanical place for plane repairs and parking

IT’s will generate 20b yearly

ednut1:
Same thing I said on another thread. Some people abused me. Airports being built by these governors are just to embezzle money from the construction contracts. Enugu airport is just 1 hour 30 mins away without traffic

we don’t want to use enugu airport is it by force?

What a complete white elephant

When they are telling these crooks to stop building airports, they won't hear.

That money should have gone into credit facilities and grants for the many poor people there.

Minsk24:

This is the major reason why SE governors have to work together for regional planning, why waste billions on airport when enugu airport is very close, kpatakpata u for use a fraction of that money build more roads to link enugu to ebonyi...

with the zeal of Igbo's for industry and tech I was expecting a power plant and an industrial estate that will be secure from tout extorting distributors of finished goods. Just generate and transmit 5km at most into the industries. Instead they all doing stupid looting competition and so prefer short or medium term projects that can give huge looting margin.
Africa is seriously cursed with a leadership plaque.

Yes Anambra needs an airport,

But 4 out of 5 south east states have an airport let's add ASABA airport that is 5, bro airport no be motor business o

QGist:
This Ebonyi Airport looks like a place for some kind of Gay Party, if your key fall there and you Bend to pick it SORRY....

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Guy na !!!!

Wetin be this ??
