Do We Actually Need Another Buhari Airport That Cost Over ₦36 Billion Written by Igbo Focus 29th April 2023 What’s this obsession about governors building airports instead of building roads? All the governors are without hesitation wasting states’ funds on useless things. Haven’t they got a project committee to oversee new projects and the naming of new projects. According to the Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi who made the announcement of completion of construction of Ebonyi state international airport in Onueke, which cost the state over ₦36 billion. The revelation by Governor Umahi that the airport would be launched sometimes in May this year and would be known as President Muhammadu Buhari Airport is not only a bad omen but an insult to the state. In spite of everything, we want to forget about Buhari and his atrocities in Igbo land especially in Ebonyi state. Two- or three-years’ time, imagine remembering Buhari when on a flight to Abuja, Lagos, etc. On the same wavelength, Dave Umahi boasted that the airport will provide employment for about 400 people in the state. The airport might fetch 400 employees, but would it make profit or meet its operating cost to sustain the operational of the airport. This is why a project committee or management is needed. Beforehand, when one starts a business not a petty trading but a proper business, he/she must weigh up the business from service or production point of view, right thorough to financial to marketing. What is more, hear the governor categorically utter his willingness to relinquish the airport meant for the state to the federal government to oversee it. This is after squandering state’s money (₦36 billion) on the airport. It is like building a football stadium within a state whilst asking the federal government to manage the stadium for the state. The problem with these governors would be lack of ideas or they have shifty mind otherwise building roads would be more profitable which would make states the most money than building airports. In London, they have this road called “M25” that stretches round London. M25 has about 10 service stations. Each of the service station has hotels, car parks, stores, eatery, petrol station, etc. Each service has about 1000 workers. Now 1000 workers multiply by 10 which gives 10,000 workers. Now, I am not comparing M25 that is about 70 miles long but if a governor within a state can manage to build 20 miles long road with 2 or 3 lanes and that has 1 or 2 service stations can be more profitable than airport in the state.

While   I   appreciate   every   government   that   is   making   an   effort,   I   believe   we   should   prioritize human development and lifting people out of poverty over building infrastructure. When    basic    needs    like    food,    healthcare,    and    education    are    not    met,    investing    in infrastructures such as airports, and international conference centers seems misplaced. The    citizens    cannot    fully    utilize    them,    and    the    infrastructure    may    not    be    maintained properly. Moreover,   when   the   government   fails   to   create   employment   opportunities   and   provide adequate    support    for    the    youth,    it    leads    to    the    mismanagement    and    theft    of    these infrastructures.   For   instance,   people   may   steal   streetlights,   solar   panels,   transformers,   and other things provided by the government, just to survive. Therefore,   I   strongly   recommend   that   the   government   invest   more   in   human   development, such   as   education,   healthcare,   and   skills   training   programs.   These   investments   can   create jobs, reduce poverty, and build a more productive society. Additionally,   they   will   enable   people   to   make   better   use   of   infrastructures   like   airports   and conference centers. To   illustrate,   I   recall   an   interview   with   Alex   Otti,   where   he   pointed   out   that   providing   an airport   for   the   people   of   Abia   State   was   not   the   priority.   Rather,   there   were   more   pressing issues   to   tackle,   such   as   healthcare,   education   and   empowering   the   youths   of   Abia(Aba). He   suggested   that   the   nearby   Owerri   airport   could   be   used   instead,   which   would   save resources and be more accessible to the people. Human   development   increases   productivity   and   helps   to   reduce   inequality   by   providing opportunities   for   marginalized   communities   to   access   education   and   healthcare.   When people   are   educated   and   healthy,   they   are   more   productive   and   able   to   contribute   more   to society.   Providing   quality   education,   healthcare,   and   skills   training   can   improve   the   quality of    life    for    individuals    and    help    to    create    a    more    productive    workforce    that    can    drive economic growth. Infrastructure   without   human   development   is   unsustainable.   Building   infrastructure   without investing   in   human   development   can   lead   to   inefficiencies   and   waste.   Without   a   skilled   and healthy   workforce,   infrastructure   projects   may   not   be   fully   utilized   or   maintained   properly, leading to a waste of resources. In    conclusion,    while    building    infrastructures    is    vital,    it    is    essential    to    prioritize    human development   to   ensure   that   the   citizens   can   benefit   from   these   investments   and   create   a more sustainable future.
