Huh? We are talking here of an airport that is over 40 years in Ibadan and has in all of that time not shown any great prospect ooo! Why in the world would you choose to sink more seriously limited funds into it if it has yet to prove viable in over 4 decades when there are numerous other areas of development needed in the same state that have yet to be addressed? The area of water reclamation and treatment for example. The passenger rail system is another.

Though, you seem to want the best for the state but your priorities and that of those in government are different. Let them do what they feel is important and probably when your occupy same office (you will get there) you can fix the areas highlighted. Let the airport be upgraded, it's an embarrassment to the state

Chill failure to attract passengers is not because of Ibadan but the safety of the passing passengers

Kobojunkie:
1. That airport is over 40 years old and has been living on life support for the entirety of that time; it has never proven itself a viable airport for the state to have. Why should the state sink billions of limited naira into it just so you and a handful of other fliers can fly conveniently at a loss to the taxpayer?

2. Thinking ahead when the state has yet to think seriously about even a Water reclamation and treatment plant to ensure clean water is provided to every citizen all across the state and curb the issue of flooding and erosion? Thinking ahead when Oyo state does not even have a basic passenger rail system to help ease serious transportation problems in the state? Thinking ahead all in order that a handful of Oyo indigenes can claim they too have an airport? Come on!

There's no way that Airport can be viable in its current shape, there's therefore no questioning that the Airport needs urgent upgrade. It can only be self sustaining if the facilities eg the runway can safely support air operations. Currently Airpeace, Overland and Green Nigeria airlines flts into Ibadan mainly from Abuja. 80% of SW travels via Ibadan to board international flights in Lagos.
Talking about the need for water, roads and other infrastructures, I absolutely agree there need, but so is the need for an upgrade of that airport. It's runway is horribly short. It's a disaster in waiting

Pouring money into a venture which has yet to prove itself viable is NOT the only way to deal with safety issues. Pretending it is means you refuse to see the problem for what it truly is.

You are not very smart.

A pdp governor applied to upgrade his state airport. The upgrade will be financed by his state budget.

If pbat had rejected this you would be here shouting oppression and intimidation.

The federal govt cannot advise state governments on how they plan to waste their money.

This is Seyi makinde, who should know better, but obviously plans on cashing out.

Try to connect your brain to your fingers before you cast blame.

How? How can this airport with [b]the many bad roads in the area, [/b]serve as an alternative to Muritala Muhammed Airport for Pete's sake? Any more the state gets would be best spent on building a high-speed passenger rail system to transport people from the Lagos airport to Ibadan, from the local airport, and back. No need to waste money that Oyo currently does not have to spend on this, for lack of a better word at this point, white elephant that has yet to prove its worth.

lol.
I put it to you , where is the bad road around Ibadan airport?
lol maybe you’re talking about years ago o..
Most major roads in Ibadan now have been worked on by this current administration, infact you only get to see bad road in the hinterlands …

Seyi makinde has managed to convince me that government can be corrupt and good at the same time..

For that ‘road’ thing , bro you goofed

Imagine building another airport that will be less than 150 km from Lagos airport that is even under utilised.
Would a fast train from the airport linking the rail line along the Oshodi axis straight to Ibadan not be a more sensible option?

Maybe we should be building an international airport every 150km.

Do you know how many people who come from Kwara , Ekiti, Ondo Osun, Oyo to Lagos before travelling abroad....this will be a succour to them ....it might not be applicable to you but why cant you allow people who suffer this long distance to Lagos before travelling abroad enjoys this benefits....
We have port Harcourt airport, Sam Mbawe, Biam Akanu, Margret Ekpo and many more in the east and south south , and aside Ahmadu Bello , Nnmadi Azikwe , Kaduna international airport and many more in the north
Aside murittala iMuhammed International airport in the west ....mention one international airport you know in Yoruba land ...yet we are educated , industrious and well travelled ....
This is a well thought off project that will put smile to the faces of most travellers in the region and Ibandan is always the middles and meeting point for all Yoruba race ....since the ancient days ....

I'm sure this is reason some of these our poto poto brother wants Tinubu out of the office so that the development can continue in their region while other regions will be left in struggle....
I will advice the Tinubu government to do the work with speed ....

One love, President Tinubu.

You fail to address Mrvitalis concerns of the number of passengers that is expected to us the proposed international airport.
How many passengers use even the lagos international airport yearly? How many Nigerians travel out and how many Nigerians come into Nigerians through the airports? Airports should not be a pride contest but a commercial venture. Airports are very expensive to build (particularly in this part of the world) and maintain. All our airports presently are poorly maintained, with no power, poor baggage handling, bad runways and faulty and archaic air traffic equipment, and you want to add more.
Are any of our airports operating at a profit, aside the Lagos Local airport? How do you intend to repay the loan that will be uses to build the airport?

International airport. Ibadan to London.

I'm just too sure lots of people from the south west would like to connect a flight from Ibadan rather than face the congestion of Lagos. What that means is improved economy in that region.
There are many possibilities for that airport without affecting Ikeja and the one being developed at the Lekki and Ajah (trade zone) axis.
All efforts should be made to ensure that standards are not compromised.

This is indeed good good news.

Name one good APC has done since they took over power

How would u feel If u knew from June last year that naira was going to 1500 ?

Tell how u would feel if u knew that the subsidy removal was a scam ans we would end up paying higher for fuel while paying more subsidies than we have ever paid in our history

Tell me how u feel when u know millions of Jobs would be lost

And when you talk idiots claim you only see negative

You are blind brother.

U have eyes but cant see.

In terms of Infrastructure, APC is far better to PDP.

Start from state level

Compare past and present PDP and APC governors in each state.

U will just open mouth like 504.

Ibadan has no need for an airport. With close proximity to Lagos and functional railways, there is absolutely no need.

U use money u don't have to build infrastructure that can't pay for itself that's stupidity

Anyone building infrastructure in Nigeria now knows nothing about economics

Ibadan airport is at least 42 years old. How many people from Lagos and the rest of the south west have connected flights from Ibadan rather than Lagos in all of those 4 decades?!

The Airport will serve as alternative to the ever congested Muritala Muhammad Airport. All I can say for now.

if it is a viable alternative, why are people not using it as they are supposed to? Its a white elephant project in my opinion. The funds should rather be spent on high speed rail from Ibadan to Lagos.
