The repair of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, runway has been completed, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said in Lagos on Monday.



Mrs Herrienta Yakubu, the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the runway is now open for full operations following its completion.

She said FAAN’s team of engineers led by the Managing Director, Mr Saleh Dunoma, inspected the project and certified it as meeting the required standards.

Yakubu apologised to travellers and other stakeholders for the inconveniences caused by the partial closure of the runway to pave way for its rehabilitation.

NAN reports that the first phase of the repairs was executed from Dec. 14 to Dec. 21, 2017 while the second phase started from Dec. 27, 2017 to Jan. 4.

During the period, the airport was open for operation only between 7.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. to enable the contractor to use the working hours to do the job to ensure a “stable and even surface” of the runway.

The project was, however, delayed for a few days before the runway was finally opened for full flight operations.

Just in time, they started the repairs when they are sure many Igbos are coming back for holidays, they diverted them to land in Lagos as to spend their money in Lagos before going east through the dangerous Lagos highway to the east, then when most of the Igbos are gone back abroad, they claim to open the airport again.

Another airport repairs in Enugu will start on the first week of December 2018, wayo people.

After the holidays

The cows can graze at the airport and use the tarmac as resting ground. Nonsense government

Na wa, o! When the runway was not functional, your people shouted about how govt was marginalising them, by not providing adequate infrastructure in the airports in the SE/SS.

Now that the airport runway's repairs have been completed, instead of heaving a sigh of relief, you are throwing out insults. Chai!
