  • 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.

  • The English Language and Tourism in Nigeria *
    Joumal of the School Of General and BaSic Studies THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND TOURISM IN NIGERIA * Ngozi Anyachonkeya ABSTRACT Thispaper examines the role of English as a dynamic language in tapping and documenting the potentials and bounties of tourism in Nigeria. It argues that the English language is a potent instrument in harnessing tourism bounties of a people especially among the fifty-four member nations of the Commonwealth. In Nigeria the English language remains the most strategic language for the exploitation and marketing of tourism bounties available in the country. This is so because English is Nigeria's official language and language of unity in a multiethnic country like ours. In doing this, the paper makes a disclaimer. It is thefact that the author of thispaper is not an authority on Tourism. The burden of this paper therefore is to lay bare the indispensable role of English - a global dynamic language and language of globalization - in the i •• exploitation of tourism wealth of Nigeria, and in selling these bounties to world civilization for document. In the final analysis the paper makes the following declarations. We could practically do nothing without language. It is rather impossible that we could successfully discuss Tourism as an academic discipline in Nigeria in isolation of language, vis-a-vis, English, the arrowhead and 'DNA' of culture. In the same vein, it is rather a tragic mission to explore the bounties of Tourism in Nigeria and make same available to the global village outside the English language medium, in view of Nigeria's status as among the fifty-four member nations of the Commonwealth.

People, employees and customers, not products and machines, must be the arena of an organisation’s core competence. The success of an airline, like any other business organisation, depends, to a large extent, on managerial decisions affecting the organisation’s structure, strategy, culture and numerous operational activities. The industry is a knowledge-based service market that requires practitioners or managers to acquire a sound knowledge of management theory and practice. There are some managers who are capable of taking right decisions owing to their practical experience on the job. Others are able to do so because of the knowledge they acquired in the school. All in all, academic knowledge is not a waste as it provides reasons for decisions taken.

Owerri, Nigeria. Owerri, Nigeria. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The increase in international and domestic movement of passengers and cargos have made the air transport business more especially airports to be more busy in terms of paseenger and aircraft traffic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the airport efficiency performance in Nigeria using DEA-BCC model approch. Non parametric method of production frontier approach were used to analyse 30 airports panel data of the study period from 2003- 2013 in relation with the airport multiple inputs (terminal capacity, runway dimension, number of employees, total assets and total cost) and outputs (passenger throughputs and aircraft movement). The result shows that there is high significant relationship between some inputs (total assets, runway dimension and employees) and the outputs. The efficiency scores of the various airports are determined from the output-orientation analysis. The result also shows that hub airport, commercial/large city airport and private airport are the ones that are productive and efficient. Finally, policy implication on how the inputs are to be improved to make the airports that are not efficient to be efficient. Keywords airport, efficiency, productivity, DEA productive efficient in Nigeria. The airports are going to be 1. Introduction ranked based on the efficiency scores, recommendations on possible improvements on the operations will be made to Aviation industry is one of the major important sectors in the enhance more productivity and efficiency.

  • Aviation Experts Caution States on Airport Projects
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news AVIATION EXPERTS CAUTION STATES ON AIRPORT PROJECTS News / Airports / Routes Image not found or type unknown NO fewer than four state governments have unveiled plans to build airports in their respective states. The latest with such plan is Ekiti State. Besides Ekiti, Bayelsa, Abia, Osun and Ogun states are at various stages in their plans to build an airport each. © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 By the time the airports are completed, they would have spent close to N150b on the projects that may not be different from the ones in Delta, Akwa Ibom and Imo states, which are presently not viable. The airports in these areas have not significantly improved the economies of the states, because of little traffic. Many of the state owned airports have become liabilities to the aviation agencies, even when they do not have direct impact on the people. There are fears also that the ongoing Bayelsa airport project may go the way of Jigawa airport. The state governor is said to be shopping for N40b loan facilities from commercial banks for the project. Stakeholders also expressed fears over the planned Ekiti airport. They said even Akure airport, that is not too far away has been dormant for many years. They are afraid it might be another waste of public fund to build an airport in that zone. They have therefore called on state governments to carry out project feasibility studies to determine the viability of airports in their states before venturing into such.

    Report No. 49194 Public Disclosure Authorized AFRICA INFRASTRUCTURE COUNTRY DIAGNOSTIC Air Transport Challenges to Growth Public Disclosure Authorized June 2009 Sustainable Development Africa Region Public Disclosure Authorized Document of the World Bank Public Disclosure Authorized Vice President: Obiageli Katryn Ezekwesili Sector Director: Inger Andersen Task Team Leader: Vivien Foster About AICD This study is part of the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD), a project designed to expand the world’s knowledge of physical infrastructure in Africa. AICD will provide a baseline against which future improvements in infrastructure services can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results achieved from donor support. It should also provide a more solid empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and designing policy reforms in the infrastructure sectors in Africa. AICD will produce a series of reports (such as this one) that provide an overview of the status of public expenditure, investment needs, and sector performance in each of the main infrastructure sectors, including energy, information and communication technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and sanitation. The World Bank will publish a summary of AICD’s findings in spring 2008. The underlying data will be made available to the public, through an interactive Web site, allowing users to download customized data reports and perform simple simulation exercises. QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. The first phase of AICD focuses on 24 countries that together account for 85 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), population, and infrastructure aid flows of Sub-Saharan Africa. The countries are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Congo (Democratic Republic of Congo), Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
