mrvitalis: It will relieve the pressure on Lagos Airport. Ibadan has a modern rail and road network connecting Ibadan to Lagos. Makinde should now replicate the Lagos Red line in Ibadan. 1 Like |

sulaak:U mean Lagos red line that is operating at a massive loss? Abuja hasn't reduced pressure on Lagos, port Harcourt hasn't, Enugu hasn't but Ibadan would? Can Oyo afford this upgrade or would they borrow money ? |

sulaak: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?! 2. Modern rail network? |

Dem no get running water, electricity or even good school system but dem must get airport by fire or by force! This particular airport is 42 years old at least and has in all that time remained on life-support. Now we have yet another governor claiming if you add more money to the thing, e go magically germinate million millions. And see as people dey eat up the nonsense story already.

Re: Tinubu Has Approved Upgrade Of Ibadan Airport To International Status – Makinde by sulaak(m): 8:07am On Jun 27 |
mrvitalis: The question is not whether Oyo State can afford the upgrade but whether it will benefit from it. The majority of railways around the world operate at a loss and are subsidised by the government for the services they support. A state like Oyo can benefit from Lagos's congestion and overpopulation if it invests more in logistics, electricity, transportation, security, and hospitality. The Lagos Redline has not been completed. Redline will only be viable if it connects the Agege/ Ikeja axis to Lagos Island. Nobody will pay for a railway that ends in Oyingbo, and the Redline has to be subsidised to relieve congestion on Lagos roads and improve economic activities and employment. Don't read the nonsense from the IMF/World Bank playbook; subsidies are necessary to support economic development. 2 Likes |

happney65:The last major diversion of planes from Lagos to Ghana happened in 2020, and it was not due to runways being full as you claim but due to bad weather. Ibadan is barely 80 miles from Ibadan meaning weather issues are bound to be similar across both airports. Additionally, MMIA recently embarked on its expansion projects, so exactly how much traffic does the governor expect would come on average from MMIA to boost the viability of Ibadan Airport which has, for approximately 42 years, existed on life-support? https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/14/africa/lagos-flight-diverted-to-ghana/index.html |

This is a welcome development. Great move and long overdue. Kudos to Seyi Makinde. You deserve to be a senate president directly after your tenor for this. Osun governor should have made this move. The international passenger traffic in Lagos shows thousands of people travel from Ile fe, Ilesa, Ekiti, Ede, Oshogbo, Akure, Ibadan, Ogbomoso to Lagos to connect flights abroad Clearly it’s a viable airport that will reduce congestion in Lagos especially on the LOS-LHR and about to be introduced LOS-JFK route. It will end up being the third busiest airport for international passengers within a year 2 Likes 1 Share |

MrEverest: English is your problem, I understand and I won't take it on you. As an alternative means those living in Ibadan, Ondo, Akure and Ogun State do not need to travel down to Lagos to board an international flight ... Don't bother to quote me dude, I know you are bittered. I don't preach hatred, I preach love 3 Likes |

seunayantokun:So, for 42 years after the downgrade, the airport could not at least prove there was meaning to its existence? And now, the current governor wants to, using mago-mago, make you all believe this comatose airport will magically become better than the other 20-something other elephant airport projects of its kind that litter Nigeria today? 😐😐😐😐😐 |

Re: Tinubu Has Approved Upgrade Of Ibadan Airport To International Status – Makinde by sulaak(m): 8:20am On Jun 27 |
Kobojunkie: The recently completed Lagos to Ibadan railway is a modern SGR that will be extended to Kano. If Ibadan has an international Airport, it will serve as a conduit in the wilder SW for international travel, considering that the state now has better transport links. Why would you want to fly from a domestic airport to Ibadan domestic airport to connect to Lagos? It makes more sense to fly internationally from London to Ibdan and then take a train to Lagos. I grew up in Lagos but studied in UI; it took me less than 2 hours to get to Ibadan, and the majority of the time was wasted getting a bus from Suru-Lere to Oshodi (this wast the 1980s) Nigeria's problem is a lack of imagination; Nigeria is very poor today because the leaders and people are structured to survive and exploit their environment. However, if the country were developing, modern facilities would be required. t 1 Like |

mrvitalis: Why does Ibadan, a city of 4 million, have an airport traffic of less than 100000 per annum? Ibadan now has a modern expressway and SGR railway that connect the town to Lagos state and a modern SGR railway under construction that will connect Ibadan to Illorin, Abuja and Kano. The upgrade is to the Airport and will be the responsibility of Oyo state. I understand your concerns about the wastefulness of APC, spending billions on the Lagos-Calabar coastal road when the Markudi, Mambilla and Dasin Hausa Dam are a priority project for irrigation, electricity, and to prevent floods in the case of the Adamawa Dasin Hausa Dam 3,649,000 |
