Festus Keyamo has proven that he is a true son of Delta State through Warri Airport – Igosave Blissful Affairs Online
…says the immense roles of the state governor, the Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori (JP) is well appreciated
One of Nigeria’s most prolific and most creative rib crackers, Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke popularly known as Igosave met with the Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Barrister Festus Keyamo to appreciate his great and selfless contributions to Aviation transportation in Delta State After Igosave dragged them to make more flights available for warri and its environs against the single flights they used to have.
In an appreciation message to the Minister, Igosave expressed the feelings of Warri people as regards the airport and how it will go a long way in boosting the economy of Delta State. He also emphasised on the incomparable and unparalleled contributions of His Excellency Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori (JP) .
Igosave was quoted during the meeting to have, on behalf of the entire people of warri and its environs say “a very big thank you to Governor Oborevwori and the Distinguished Honourable Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo for listening to the cries of the good people of Warri. Igosave added that the people need more flights to further booster economic activities in Warri and it’s environs. He urged all the people of Warri to show appreciation to this bold step taken by the Honourable Minister to ensure that a modern-day air traveling facility is provided for the people, for their own convenience and for business activities to grow in Delta State.
Igosave delivered a very thought provoking but explanatory message to the Distinguished Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo, recognising his gallantry input to the Warri nation in particular and Delta State in General.
In his response, Hon. Festus Keyamo appreciated the visit of Igosave and his team and as a bonafide son of Delta state , Keyamo spoke the local dialect, expressing his views on why all hands must be on the desk to develop not only Warri but the entire Niger Delta region.
Hon. Keyamo ascertained that the input of Governor Oborevwori in Delta State. He said, the Governor calls him everyday to ascertain the ministry of Aviation’s input in Delta State and thr modalities to be implemented. Keyamo also expressed that since the 1960s, Warri has not produced any Minister in the aviation sector and this time that God has made it happened, there must be a significant sign of aviation development. The Honourable Minister said this is the first time when a sitting Governor, Minister and senator will combine together foe the development of their state.
Keyamo added that illumination lights will be erected at the airport so that the facility will be lightened brightly all nights because for now, there is no conventional light there and which is very important. “As a matter of fact, we are planning to upgrade the airport to international standard and I want to assure you that it’s in the 2025 budget. Our prayer now is that the Federal Government should honour the budget and make this unforgettable dream a reality. One the budget is 80% or 90% funded, of course, the project will be completed by next year. What I used to tell people is that it is not the Federal Government that owns the airport, it was owned by Shell who sold it to a company called Shoreline. All these things we are doing, we are thinking outside the box just for us to develop our region. Meanwhile those companies cannot run the facilities and that is why we need to take over and make it useful for our people.
So it’s not a Federal Government airport, it’s a private airport so it not FAAN that rubs it and not the government. So,like Asaba, Warri Airport is private and not owned by the Federal Government. Thanks.
