Ebonyi State governors are more interested in proving a point instead of getting into the real business of governance. I wish them the best!

Ebonyi airport is closer to Obudu Cattle Ranch than Calabar airport.& can be used to convey tourists. If properly harnessed ,it will also serve as a cargo hub to to the Trans-African Highway leading to Cameron ,CAR ,Congo etc

State made the airport ... let the investors form and operate the airline... State should have no part of private business. Taxpayers money need to be used for infrastructure ... build or maintain roads to easy access to the airport ... not pour money into the airline business. He should state how much the State will foot ... how much the investors will put .... how the operational costs will be shared and how the profits will be distributed. That we will have to take tie court to find out. Daylight robbery.

This is simply another ploy to loot and hijack the state Treasury.

Instead of making Education free, investing state resources in farming or even starting a state owned cement factory and free skills acquisitions school for everyone irrespective of age.

In every 10 child beggers in SE, 4 will most likely come from Ebonyi.

He should focus on taking his people off the street, especially children.

May Ala-Igbo succeed.

It's a welcome development if they intend to run the airline as a business just like Ibom air, but they should know that nobody is flying into or out of Ebonyi...
A broke state shouldn't go into a competitive business. There's no money in aviation business.

Agriculture is gold mine. I don't understand why we keep getting leaders whose brains doesn't work.

It seems the leaders have vowed not to do anything that will directly benefit the public?
Why not use the available resources in the state to create industries?
What activities is happening in the state that will make people to travel with air?
I just feel most times, these men get kick backs from these kind of white elephant projects.
Instead of leaders to do project that will equip the youths , they will rather use the money to buy irrelevant things such as SUV for religious leaders and some youths without any single atom of brain with say they are doing well.
Most blacks are just disgracing the human race.
have you been to ebonyi state before? you must not comment if you don't have what to say. see what kidnappers are doing on the road, this is another way to avoid it una de here the talk yayanpu

Please tell me the number of people that can afford air travel?
Leave those politicians alone, they all know what they are doing. Except, you are benefiting from contracts in those white elephant projects,?
Nigeria is so blessed but the politicians won't think rather they are experts in exclusion and tribalism/religion kind of politics and development.
An international conference centre in the state is even more viable than that project.
