Mixed Reactions Trail Buhari’s Plan To Build Helipad in Daura

Mixed reactions trailed the Federal Government’s plan to build a helipad in Daura, Katsina State, to ensure a direct flight for President Muhammadu Buhari whenever he visits his country home.

Insert: A view of what an Helipad looks like
Social media commentators were divided over the necessity of the project and its impact on Nigeria’s economy. While some supported the president, saying the project is inexpensive, others believe it is unnecessary in view of the government’s change mantra, particularly in reducing cost of governance.

Google "helipad" so you don't look foolish. It is not an airport. It is just a landing platform for a helicopter.

For me, it was never about the price. It's the timing and importance. Helipad shouldn't be a priority now

With less than 20bags of cement, you can actually cast the helipad base.
