Development of Infrastructure to Stimulate the Nigerian Economy and Case for a Nigerian National Programme Management Office (PMO)
PM World Journal Development of Infrastructure to stimulate Nigerian economy Vol. V, Issue IV – April 2016 and case for Nigerian National PMO www.pmworldjournal.net Featured Paper by O. Chima Okereke, PhD Development of Infrastructure to stimulate the Nigerian economy and case for a Nigerian National Programme Management Office (PMO) O. Chima Okereke, PhD With oil prices now stabilised at a low level in the global market, the Nigerian Federal Government plans to stimulate economic activities by investing thirty percent of its 2016 budget, the first budget of the administration, on development of infrastructure. A research on the projects earmarked for funding shows that these are mostly, if not all, from the last administration which have been abandoned because of lack of fund. With the change of government in May 2015, the projects did not receive any more funding until they stopped. This paper discusses the topic in the following headings: 1. The government stimulation plan and projects to be reactivated. 2. Foreign and local investors 3. Probable criteria used to determine the projects and the implication of projects being abandoned 4. Project management practice in governments of some advanced nations and a business justification for a National PMO 5. Concluding remarks 1. The government stimulation plan Greatly diminished energy income has prompted Nigeria to look to private sector and foreign financing to help develop its infrastructure in a bid to stimulate its economy. The Nigerian Federal Government announced plans in November 2015 to set up a $25bn infrastructure fund for long-term projects in the transport and energy sectors. -

International Journal of Advanced Academic Research (Social and Management Sciences) | ISSN: 2488-9849 Vol. 6, Issue 10 (October, 2020) | www.ijaar.org Journal DOI: 10.46654/ij.24889849 Article DOI: 10.46654/ij.24889849.s61015 AIRPORT MARKETING ATTRIBUTES AND PASSENGERS’ WORD OF MOUTH COMMUNICATION Sonari-Otobo, V.F.1 and *Ekeke, J.N.2 1&2Department of Hospitality Management & Tourism, Faculty of Management Sciences, University of Port Harcourt, Choba, Rivers State, Nigeria. [email protected], *Author for correspondence Email: [email protected] Abstract Purpose: The study examined the effect of airport marketing attributes on word of mouth communication at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. Design/Methodology: The descriptive survey research had a dataset of 150 domestic passengers found at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri during the study period in November, 2019. A well structured questionnaire containing 14 items in addition to 4 demographic items was used to elicit data from the respondents. With the help of SPSS, the data gathered was utilised to validate the model developed for the study empirically through statistical tests. Findings: The inferential statistical analysis revealed that airport terminal facilities and airport security and safety had significant effect on passengers’ word of mouth communication. Originality: The recognition of airport terminal facilities and airport security and safety as marketing attributes having effect on passengers’ behavioural intentions constitute a novel contribution -

ACI World Airport Development News: Issue 04 – 2012
Issue 04 – 2012 ACI World AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT NEWS A service provided by ACI World in cooperation with Momberger Airport Information www.mombergerairport.info Editor & Publisher: Martin Lamprecht [email protected] / Founding Editor & Publisher: Manfred Momberger EUROPE Great Britain: London City Airport, opened 25 years ago, plans to upgrade its departure gates, lounges and baggage services. Work will start in early 2013. Declan Collier, the airport’s CEO said: “With the investment we’re announcing today and the further infrastructure work over the next three years, we can reach our permitted capacity, maintain our high standards, and absorb some of the European air traffic from other airports in the Southeast that are beginning to feel the strain.” It is hoped that the number of aircraft movements will grow from 70 000 to 120 000 a year, with passenger numbers swelling from 3.2 million to as many as 10 million. The airport has ten airlines operating flights to some 45 cities and has grown significantly since opening in 1987. London-Heathrow Airport has held a topping-out ceremony for the Terminal 2 satellite pier, T2B, to mark the final stage of Phase 1 of the GBP 2.5 billion project. The event signalled the completion of construction of the 522-m long satellite pier that will have 16 boarding gates and - once finished - will be connected to the main Terminal 2 by a walkway beneath the airfield. Steve Morgan, BAA’s Director of Capital, said: “We have reached a significant point in the construction of the satellite pier of Terminal 2. -
NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN Iii
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN ` Classified as Confidential NATIONAL INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER PLAN iii Foreword I am delighted to present the Revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (2020-2043) produced by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning. The Revised National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) gives update on some of the infrastructure development activities, spending, and progress achieved on the capital projects executed across the seven key infrastructure asset classes namely: Transportation; Energy; Social Infrastructure; Information and Communications Technology; Housing; Agriculture, Water & Mining; Security and Vital Registration. The NIIMP provides the roadmap for building a world-class infrastructure that will guarantee sustainable economic growth and development. It would enable the nation to take advantage of the vast opportunities in the domestic and global economies to enhance the nation’s competitiveness and improve the quality of life of the citizenry. In recent years, the Federal Government adopted different strategies in addressing the huge infrastructure gap in all the sectors of the Nigerian economy. Some of these strategies include the Nigerian Vision 20:2020, the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) and the Economic Recovery & Growth Plan (ERGP) that form the basic government blueprint for building world-class infrastructure required to grow the economy and improve Nigeria’s global competitiveness. The revised NIIMP provides an integrated view of infrastructure development in Nigeria, with clear linkages across key sectors. It identifies and elaborates on enablers for successful implementation in line with the current economic realities. It takes stock of existing infrastructure and identifies the required investments to bring infrastructure to the level desired by Nigerians in line with the country’s growth aspirations. -

Managerial ability in Nigerian airports is an important issue for sus- Stochastic frontier models taining efficiency levels because they are labor intensive rather than capital-intensive facilities. The AAG model Unobserved managerial ability was modified in this research to measure two exogenous contextual variables, namely regulation and hub. Under this modified version of the AAG model, inputs and outputs are disentangled in the frontier estimate while simultaneously allowing these contextual variables to control the impacts of managerial ability on efficiency. Results not only suggest that variations in efficiency scores are more sensitive to labor than to capital costs, but also indicate a negative impact of regulation and hub operations on efficiency levels possibly due to the small operational scale of Nigerian airports. -
Effects of Wind Shear on Flight Operations in Sam
Effects of Wind Shear on Flight Operations in Sam Mbakwe Airport, Imo State, Nigeria EFFECTS OF WIND SHEAR ON FLIGHT OPERATIONS IN SAM MBAKWE AIRPORT, IMO STATE, NIGERIA 1 I.C. Onwuadiochi,2 M.A. Ijioma 3 Emmanuel E. Ezenwaji 4 and M.C. Obikwelu 1,2,3,4 Department of Geography and Meteorology, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract This paper examined wind shear and its relationship with aircraft operations using Sam Mbakwe Airport, Imo State as a case study. Data on wind shear and aircrafts operations were collected from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) and Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) of the airport respectively for the period of one and half years.Correlation and Regression Analyses were carried out for the measured wind shear and flight delays and cancellations. The study revealed that the wind shear measured at 20m above ground level had weak positive relationship with flight delays and cancellations. This implies that as wind shear increases, both flight delays and cancellations also increase. The correlation between wind shear measured at 20m above ground level and flight delays and cancellations were 0.195 and 0.392 respectively, showing that the measured wind shear was responsible for 51.4 percent and 67.1 percent of the flight delays and cancellations respectively. The regression relationship formulated was significant for the entire hypotheses because the P-values of the ANOVA were less than 0.05. Since the relationship was significant, the expressions can be used to predict the extent of flight delays and cancellations if the wind shear is known. -

An Assessment of Productivity and Efficiency in Nigerian Airports Using Data Envelopment Analysis Obioma R. Nwaogbea, Innocent C. Ogwudeb, Victor Omokea Carlos P. Barrosc Department of Transport Management Technology, Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State, Nigeriaa. [email protected], +2348034350201. Department of Transport Management Technology, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. [email protected]. Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão, Technical University of Lisbon; Rua Miguel Lupi, 20, 1249- 078 Lisbon, Portugal. [email protected]. Abstract: This paper analyses the efficiency of the Nigerian airport with a DEA-Data Envelopment analysis model. The aviation industry in Nigeria has been deregulated since mid-1990s following the commercialisation of state owned airports and the licensing of private airlines to participate in the aviation industry. The airports have operated largely in a deregulated environment, although largely state owned with some aspects of their operations concessioned to the private sector. Since 2005 efforts have been made to rebuild the infrastructure base of the airports and to improve airport management following best global practice. It has been the aspiration of Nigeria to develop into a viable market that will become the hub of the aviation industry in Africa. This is possible only to the extent that the airports are able to handle effectively the growing demands of the aviation industry in terms of passenger and cargo traffic. It is therefore timely to begin the study of the productivity and efficiency that have been achieved in the airports so far and to benchmark them against both African and world standards in terms of scale effects, technical efficiency and sources of growth. -
