Why didn't he just answer how these unethical, uncivilized, absurd and disgraceful happenings come to be a thing in an international airport in the first place. With all these things he noted, the FG need to even do more than downgrading.

What is the state government doing about the people that create and sell in an abattoir close to an International airport, at the end of the runway for that matter. Instead of discussing and finding way to bring solutions to the problem he result to blame and jibes.

Tell me is this how they want to make Nigeria a better place?

The state government came in late after several years of the ministry trying to do something about it. But you know politics . Imagine a governor collapsing q market few months before election

So true. The airport even lacks water. The toilets always stink as water has to be transported all the way from Anambra state via tankers. Wawa people are too backward to have an airport. Enugu airport should be downgraded as the new Anambra international airport will take off soon and water won't be an issue.

Upgrade Calabar and Port Harcourt ports and see if any goods for South East from Asia will ever touch Lagos ports. These systematic injustice against the South East should stop and the South Easterner governors,national assembly members and stakeholders should speak with one voice.

A CHIEFTAIN of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Chief Chinedu Eya has warned that the planned downgrading of Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu state will lead to National crisis.

“Aside overcrowding of the remaining international gateways in the country, increased security concerns and loss of income to the Nigerian Airport Authorities if the downgrading succeeds, no country anywhere in the world will choose closure or downgrading of its already existing international gateway to rehabilitation, upgrading or reconstruction. It doesn’t make economic sense to me;” Gwiyi Solomon, Chief Eya’s Media Adviser quoted him as saying.

Would he had downgraded the airport if it's in the North

You see this is one of the reasons the South Easterners will continue to hate Buhari even in his grave!!!

Someone from south east would still defend this
You can't blame southeast leaders. This problem is strictly enugu problem. Wawa people of enugu are too backward to even have an airport in the first place. The NCAA had been advising enugu state government for many years to pipe raw water from nearby ekulu river to the airport so that water can be available to flush toilets at the airport but wawa people being naturally slow and backward people, didn't even consider it. They prefer the very expensive trucking of water all the way from Anambra state which add up to the cost of running the airport which has remained unprofitable since it was established.

lol I'm not surprised it's my father you are attacking instead of stating your points.

the three ports in the southeast are functional. the only challenges are
- security/piracy by ND millitants which the FG is tackling by launching 2 warships and several gunboats and helicopters to safeguard the water ways this June

- traffic... the FG can't force ships to go to the ports. the ships decide where they go to so if your people keep making their shipments to the ports in the south south then traffic will increase gradually and ships will follow the traffic and start using the ports more

I stayed in calabar for over a year and I used to drive to MDS logistics around the port. there is traffic in that port. infact trailers and tankers obstruct traffic along the port and the port has been witnessing increased traffic gradually over the years.

I've not been to onne port but it's the best port in the country now in terms of management. it's the best run port in Nigeria!!! from reports on the NPA website onne port has more traffic than calabar port.

encourage your brothers to start using the port. it will be less convenient initially because traffic demand to the port is not as high as tin can and apapa but without the traffic being diverted to that side ships won't go there. your people are the key to making those ports work.


I'm patiently waiting for you to point out the lies in my post cheesy let's have an intelligent argument. leave my old man out of it

This is unfair nau. I know for a fact that Enugu doesn't have water, save in some areas. Most water supplied to various parts of the state are from Oji River/Ninth Mile. Water tankers supply hotels just as they supply homes and anyone in need of water. Saying water is transported all the way from Anambra when Oji River and Ninth Mile has water in abundance seems untrue.

Who are you blaming? When FG upgraded it to an international airport, it became FG’s responsibility to fix it. Airports don’t fix themselves anywhere in the world. People do.

Maintenance culture goes a long way. I'd like to believe certain things were put in place to better manage the airport. I can't remember the last time something was said about MMIA. So bad was the Akanu Ibiam runway that one prays just to get in the air.

Personally, I am of the opinion that it is not worthy of the international status. The airport gets busy on some days but scanty and almost empty on most part.

You are missing the point here, bro. FG plans to spend over 10 billion Naira in upgrades in a wing of MMA, but doesn’t see the need do anything else but downgrade the only “International Airport “ in SE region. Why can’t FG spend 20 billion on the Enugu Airport?

Let FG fix whatever issues the Airport has. That’s the right approach. When SE complains of marginalization, we all laugh and blame them. Things like these show the inequity in our country.

Spend how much again?? This shouldn't be about pleasing a people just because they are complaining of being marginalized. No one would dive neck deep in an unprofitable venture. Why the airport generator is switched off in the first place is because the place is always scanty, save on some days. It doesn't make sense spending 20 billion Naira on the airport when it doesn't generate much compare to MMIA.

I have flown on two different occasions to Lagos from Enugu and the passengers on board weren't up to 10 in the entire plane. I even mentioned it on the forum one time. You really need to see the airport and how well people use it to be able to decide whether or not such should be spent on it.

It isn't like we have monies to throw around as a country that would warrant spending such sum on an airport where something barely happens. No one would invest such money just because they want to appease a divide.

Plus, we didn't hear this noise when Stella Oduah diverted the fund meant for the upgrade of the airport. She is a heroine today, according to her and can't be touched because her own would say their daughter is being punished. Putting Akanu Ibiam airport beside MMIA is a laughable comparison.

the gulf of guinea is VERY dangerous

I don't think there will be a drastic drop in the cargo coming to Lagos even if two ports in that gulf are functional

What we can do tho is to have a HUGE cargo airport

that is more like it...
