This SSS will be a consent reminder to our people of what foreigners can do and fetch with our money. European design, Indian engineering, South African sub contractors, and Sub-Continent assemblers. Unfortunately with such an ambitious project, safety mishaps will occur and I do not look forward to reading about how a young worker committed suicide by jumping from a work station. Where in fact, he was not provided adequate fall protection and simply may have been exhausted and slipped. Though, I would look forward to working in this structure: I enjoy viewing aircraft land and this will prove an excellent vista. Allah knows best- Most humble, HRH Amir Yahya Peace and blessings be upon us all,
