Delta Govt votes N7.4bn to demolish hills around airport On April 11, 2012 · In News 12:26 am Email2 By Emma Arubi ASABA—AS the Delta State Government prepares to host the next South-south Economic Summit billed for April 26 to 28 in Asaba, the government has approved the contract for the demolition of hills around the Asaba Airport to allow for bigger aircraft to land. The demolition of the hills became necessary so that “special and bigger” aircraft can start landing before the commencement of the South-south Economic Summit. Commissioner for Economic Planning, Mr Kenneth Okpara, who briefed journalists on the outcome of the state Executive Council meeting, said the contract was initially awarded to one firm at N7.4 billion. He explained that though the contract amount was not reviewed, it had been awarded to three different contracting firms including ULO Consultants, Levante Construction Limited and CCC Construction Nigeria Limited. Okpara said: “The President is coming to the summit and we want him to land here in Asaba and not in Benin. We have just ten days to put the airport in proper shape because that is one of the conditions given by Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, for bigger aircraft to land.” He assured that the new arrangement was “a matter of government being proactive to ensure that things move on properly,” noting that the new arrangement on the contract award would not have additional cost implication on the total cost of the airport construction. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/delta-govt-votes-n7-4bn-to-demolish-hills-around-airport/ |

Where is the source of this news? This kind of waste gives ammunition to critics of the current implementation of the allocation formula. I'm sure the governor of this state along with the legislature have never passed any laws which helps to generate even N1 billion of revenues for the state. SMH |

ypzilanti: Hey, Warri is not a hell hole, Warri is an oil city that is better than Abuja in the eyes of Waferians. You are not from Warri that is why you cannot appreciate the city. Please Identify what the governor has not done in warri that should be done. Uduaghan is doing well and Delta State is working, to God be the glory. |

how does blow up and clear hills in 10 days ? |
| Re: Delta Govt Votes ₦7.4bn To Demolish Hills Around Airport In 10 Days by ypzilanti: 12:55pm On Apr 11, 2012 |
UYCO: Warri is a hell hole with rubbish heaps left for weeks on the roadside. Pothole ridden roads...no working traffic lights...maruding armed robbers (every store or supermarket is closed by 6pm). I once saw a car accident in warri...someone drove his car into a pole in the middle of jakpa road...that car was left there for a whole three months. I would travel, come back and the car was still there on road divider. I don see warri finish. The only time the governor fixed some potholes was a week before his daughters wedding, and it was the route from the airport to the wedding venue. |

Also the first madien flight to the asaba airport was a large size arik plane - which i believe is larger than the president's jet. Why they need to suddenly clear hills in 10 days now baffles the hell out of me. Anyway nothing is strange in Nigeria, the people dont care , which gives the government rights to do whatever they like. |

Its attitude like this i see from a lot of indigenes here. Every group of people deserve thier leaders, i guess. |

I wont say the governor is incorrect but form the pictures there are no hills obstructing the approach path for a large aircraft.  Unless there is something the pictures dont show http://www.governoruduaghan.org/legacy_photos.php |

so it has now become a law that billions must be allocated to any contract even when the contract does not worth it. |

@Omen100 Don't allow your tribalistic hatred for an Itsekiri governor blind you from seeing any thing good in Uduaghan. You will be a blind person not to notice the massive projects going on in all parts of delta state.Drive round Asaba and see for yourself. Check out Ode-Itsekiri bridge, check out the Oleri tourist center, check out the delta ict center, check the Ugheli-Asaba road dualization, check out the Warri-Orereokpe-Eku road dualization, check Alegbor street light and drainage project,Sapele stadium,check the IPP, -----to infinity.Warri is a unique place to waferians. Waferians prefer Warri to Abuja, the way muslims prefer Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia to America
