Good day Benuelits, sometimes ago, I wrote about the possibility of having a State owned Airport in Benue State, i was basically trying to educate the government on the economic importance of such magnificent project, I never knew that such thing was already in the minds of many concern citizens of Benue State, today this imagination is becoming a reality with the recent approval of the rehabilitation of the Gboko Cargo Airport in our state, that's a welcome development, Kudos to anyone that spearheaded to make sure that Benue State will soon be added to the list of states that owned Airport in Nigeria, there will be employment, businesses will boom especially in tourism and hospitality, and enough revenue for the government.
That's not withstanding, such a project comes with training and retraining of employees and stakeholders, as such, am suggesting to the government or various well to do individual to look into the possibility of establishing an Aviation Business and Maritime school here in Benue State, this will save time and money from sending people far and wide to go for various and necessary training, therefore, am calling on anyone who see meaning into this to stand-up and do something, to build an aviation business and Maritime school, or if necessary, someone from the state house of assembly should sponsor a bill in respect of this. I don't want to start enumerating the economic importance of such school but those who have been in the aviation sector knows what am talking about.
Please as you read this write-up, share it to other groups till it get to those that are concerned to do something positive.
Please anyone who has Ukan Kurugh contact should send it to him and to house of assembly members.
