 ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT, FAAN SET UP COMMITTEE ON INFRASTRUCTURAL UPGRADE OF ENUGU AIRPORT

The partnership by the Government of Enugu State and the Federal Government towards the completion and operationalization of the international terminal as well as the construction of a cargo terminal and warehouses at the AKANU IBIAM International Airport, Enugu, has received a major boost.

This follows the constitution of a committee to be chaired by the Commissioner for Transportation in Enugu State OBI OZOR, and co-chaired by the Head of Business Development, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria FAAN HYCIENTH NGWU, to fine-tune the terms of cooperation between the state government and FAAN and work out other modalities towards the infrastructural upgrade.

The Managing Director of FAAN, OLUBUNMI KUKU at a meeting with the State government, lauded what she described as the wisdom of the Enugu State Government to partner with FAAN in providing critical infrastructure that will enhance the ability of the AKANU IBIAM International Airport in providing seamless operations in cargo, domestic, and international passenger facilitation.

The Governor of Enugu State PETER MBAH on his part reiterated his government’s determination to make the state the preferred destination for investment, business, tourism, and living as well as grow the state’s economy from the current 4.4 billion dollars Gross Domestic Product GDP to 30 billion dollars GDP in the next four to eight years.

He, however, said that the government was aware that such exponential growth would not happen without providing the necessary environment, including world-class airport, aviation, and logistics services, that would make the state attractive to private investors.
