Ebonyi Govt To Establish Airport, Distributes 39 Keke Ambulances by murphyibiam15(m): 4:47pm On Aug 15, 2018 |
Obinna Odogwu, Abakaliki Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, on Wednesday, announced that the state government would start an airport project in the state early next year. He said that arrangement has been set in motion towards the actualisation of that project. Governor Umahi disclosed this while hosting some officials of the Ethiopian Airline led by its Traffic and Sales Manager (Enugu), Mr. Solomon Mengistu, who paid him a courtesy call in Government House, Abakaliki, the state capital. “We will start an airport project in Ebonyi early next year. The airport we will build may not be the biggest airport in the country but it will be the most beautiful. And there is nothing we say in this government that we cannot do”, he announced. Meanwhile, the governor complained bitterly about the “substandard” aircrafts some international airlines send to Nigeria whereas they fly the best in their home countries and other western countries. “I once complained to (name withheld) airline. I asked them why is it that they send substandard plane to Nigeria and when you get to Dubai, you now fly beautiful aircrafts even the one that you can take your bath inside if you’re in first class. “If I were the President of this country, I will not allow it. We need to be treated like other countries”, he said.

Umahi said that the gesture was part of the government’s numerous arrangements to revamp the health sector in the state in the best interest of his countrymen. He said that his administration would not leave any stone unturned until he repositions the health sector in the state. http://sunnewsonline.com/ebonyi-govt-to-establish-airport-distributes-39-keke-ambulances/amp/ 2 Likes |

This is a misplaced priority. Ebonyi State needs human capital development more than the infrastructural development the Governor is aggressively pursuing. There is high level poverty and hunger in Ebonyi State. Civil Servants in Ebonyi State are earning peanuts. Since the inception of Umahi's administration, no formal recruitment exercise has been conducted in the State, yet graduates of Ebonyi State origin are turning out every year from higher institutions of learning. Let industries be set up in the real sector of the economy to create jobs and increase per capita income. In this, the vicious circle of poverty, which is prevalent in the state will be severed. Politics is the only viable business in Ebonyi State, hence, it is deadly as that is the only means of survival. Human Capital Development is key to socio-economic development of a young State like Ebonyi. Let the standard of living of Ebonyians be improved instead of building elephant projects that have no direct impact on the common man in the state. Tell me how a hungry man will think of going to an airport for a flight when he/she cannot afford t-fair for a public bus. Umahi should look inwards and pursue economic policies that can trickle down to ordinary man in the street. 27 Likes |
