howfa have they gone with the airport?

Anambralstson:
Anambra State government purchase five more waste disposal trucks

IGBOSON1:


At this point, i think we should be informed if they’re still sticking with the initial $2 billion airport as shown in the snazzy 3-D render, or if they’re going to scale things down a bit!

The protesters are naive. This land was even acquired and compensated paid over 10yrs ago by Obi administration. It was at that same period that the airport approval was gotten.

OMANBALA1:


This women whose farms were destroyed must be compensated for the farm and the work they put in....Obiano knows better

UmuEri:
My Friend say what you know and stop talking nonsense.

what our people are protesting is the illegal and forceful take over of our lands by Obiano and his Aguleri brothers.

you just sit in your comfort house and start saying rubbish. for your information, the first land acquired was 729 hecters of land which compensation has been paid for by Obiano and not Peter Obi like you alleged.

after many years, Obiano did not develop the 729 hecters but came back to demand for additional 528 hecters of land which he was also given.

he still did not develop it but came back again towards this end of his regime to start demanding another 600 hecters of land.

what the community is saying is simple, government should leave us with the remaining hecters because that is all we now have. that is where our mother now farm, that is the only land our children have left.

our request is simple, go and develop the over 1300 hecters already acquired and stop trying to sack the whole village in the name of eof building Airport

ChimaAdeoye:


[s]Yes, even when land is acquired, people will often continue farming on it until the project actually starts. Nobody believed this Umueri airport project will ever start or was any serious economic project except as a good way of playing politics. I am still thinking the people that will be using the Umueri airport if the Asaba Intl. becomes concessioned and a fully functional international airport with international airlines going there. Yes, I would want us to have our own international airport, but it appears we had waited too long after the Oba airport debacle and now people have positioned international airports close to Onitsha that it will make it difficult for two major international airports to survive within 15 nautical miles of eachother. Add that to the cluelessness of our people who would still prefer to land in Lagos or Abuja and then take a grueling 10 hour dangerous bus trip to the Southeast just because that's how it was done in the 1980s

Let us carefully articulate the role of Umueri International airport (i.e: Aviation fuel depot, cargo haulage etc) This will help in knowing the mass of land required and the type of infrastructure it must have to even attract international airlines. I say this because effort is being made for international airlines to begin landing in Asaba. For most international airlines from Europe, Asia or Ameriacas, landing in Asaba, Umueri, Enugu,Owerri and even Port Harcourt is the same catchment area of passengers because they are within 300KM of eachother.

In reality, either Asaba international will finally become non-functional or the Umueri airport will simply be a white elephant project. All these would depend if they build it to such world class standard that no international airline would choose to land in Asaba than Umueri because the facilities are top notch international standard. To achieve that level of sophistication, A LOT of money will be required to build the Umueri airport. All is left to be seen. [/s]

globemoney:

If Obiano decides to take the airport to Aguleri people like you will still say he is taking everything to Aguleri. Your community should stop this nonsense and allow the government to work, there is no compensation that will be bigger than the economic activities that will come to your community when the airport starts functioning

the airport is going to be a failed project.The cabals in the government are definitely going to frustrate it to the last. As long as Asaba international airport still exists, the case of anambra will be a mirage
