Spoiler

With no scheduled flights to Asaba Airport, organisers have to charter aircraft to ferry delegations from Lagos.

 

But poor organisation has seen scores of athletes, officials and journalists stranded at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport with transfers to Asaba being handled on a first-come-first-served basis.

 

With the backlog going three days back, the chartered flights have been unable to meet demand with luggage either lost or misplaced in the ensuing melee. 

 

No, this sounds really promising: "Let's organise a major event with many hundreds of athletes! Stadium? Check."

The week before the event: "Oooooooh crap, we forgot there are no scheduled flights to our crappy airport with a runway in drastic need of repair."

 

Luckily when charter aircraft are called up in a hurry and transfers are handled on a 'first-come-first-served' basis, there is absolutely no expectation for fights and stuff getting out of hand badly. Oh wait, that is exactly what everyone would see coming from a thousand miles away.
