Sirika: Enugu Airport is dangerous, unfit for usage - ex-Aviation Minister by References: 8:22pm On Jul 26, 2019 |
Immediate-past Minister of State, for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has warned against the continuous usage of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, over the deplorable state of the runway. Sirika served between November 2016 and May 2019 as Minister in charge of Aviation. He was re-nominated on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari. He was screened today by the Senate. Minority Leader of the Senate, Enyinnaya Abaribe, had while speaking on the floor of the Senate, urged Sirika to fix Akanu Ibiam Airport if he’s reassigned to the Aviation sector. Addressing Senate correspondents after his screening, he said the runaway needed immediate attention and should be closed down without delay. He said in his personal capacity, he would advise that the airport should be shutdown without delay. Like other geopolitical zones, he said the South East deserves something better. He said: “If you ask me I will close the Enugu airport today because the runway needs to be fixed. That’s my personal opinion. I am very jealous of that city and the airport.” Speaking on a possible national carrier, Sirika told newsmen that it would be good for the country. He said considering the population of Nigeria, having a national carrier would yield more profits for the country. He said: “I believe having a very vibrant private sector-led national carrier is good for the economy of Nigeria. It is good for the population of Nigeria. It’s good for the centrality of Nigeria. It is good for the wealth and fortune of Nigeria. “One aeroplane in Nigeria is equal to 300 direct jobs to start with. The relationship between GDP and air transportation is direct and we have the biggest GDP in Africa. “By United States estimation, we are a trillion dollar GDP. By official figures of the NBS, we are half a trillion dollar GDP. We might be hitting more than $1.5 trillion GDP. We are 200 million people that will grow to more than 400 million people in 2030.” https://www.sunnewsonline.com/shocker-enugu-airport-dangerous-unfit-for-usage-sirika-ex-aviation-minister-again-declares/

Rapuru14: bigcasava1:Sirika closed down Abuja Airport for 6 wks due to the bad runway.... People only complained about the inconveniences it caused. Same Sirika wants to close down Enugu Airport due to same bad runway. What do we hear instead?... Sirika, Buhari are anti Igbos, give us Biafra, etc. I'm tired of reading your victim mentality comments all over the Internet, especially on YouTube where all you people do is insult Nigeria and give us a negative image. 49 Likes 6 Shares |

We don’t need more 8 airports in Nigeria Here’s my plan; One world standard airport in each geopolitical zone and two back up airports to supplement the activities of the 6. Then, interconnecting trains from airport to various destinations. E.g. Enugu airport could be upgraded to world standard and light rails from Enugu would connect to Anambra, IMO e.tc. That way, more economic activities and more employment and traffic to and fro. Nigeria largely lacks maintenance culture and that could pose a huge challenge and here’s my solution: We subcontract the daily maintenance of the airport to a capable maintenance company. The toilets will be cleaned constantly and will always smell nice, the trains will be cleans every 30 minutes, the airport equipment will be fixed even before they are broken and passengers will feel safe and welcomed. 33 Likes |

What an idiotic statement by a minister whose role is to oversee all the airports in the country. If the damn Federal Government is in control of the airports in the country, has it not occured to this FOOL or did he not realize that it's his rsponsibility as "agent" or "representative" of the Federal Government to make sure that any problem with the airport is fixed? What gawd awful LOOSERS do this gawd-awful nation has in charge? 5 Likes |
