Very nice! I was afraid that the present administration would halt the project, but it looks like the terminal will be completed on schedule by December.
Hopefully, the interior won't be a disappointment.

Excited the Enugu airport terminal is becoming a reality..

Meanwhile, Enugu centinery city main entrance roads are being worked now

I love the design structure and color of the building...western countries standard. I don't like the typical Nigerian green sign...change that to something bright and contemporary pls.

May God bless Stella Oduah for championing this project. I hope the powers there be will allow this airport to operate to its full potential...I'm tired of flying into Nigeria via Abuja and Lagos. I WANT TO FLY DIRECTLY TO ENUGU...THE DEMAND IS THERE!

At Emene, along Enugu-Abakiliki Road.

No offence bro but it is Abakaliki and not Abakiliki.

This mistake is common but maybe when we start correcting them people can know the correct name.

Hope the car park is upgraded too at the Airport

Just noticed that there was no provision made for jet-bridges
Or maybe they will be installed on the non-glass area of the terminal

Nwanne, the building needs remodeling fast. The next SS/SE government should just close the airport down and remodel it to the original design and possibly expand it from both sides to make it bigger.

That won't happen unless the FG concessions/privatizes the facility to the SE states. I think there is space for a new domestic terminal.
The current domestic terminal could be used for airline offices, Immigration, customs and airport management offices.

Ndiigbo are very patient and intelligent. I love the idea of the current domestic terminal as Airport management offices. It is only a matter of time before Buhari presidency expires. I believe that Federal Government have no business in Airport management. That is the domain of private firms.(accredited firms.) They can carry out inspection to ensure regulation and laws are obeyed.

Sooner or Later the SS/SE will occupy Aso Rock again if the cesspit of a country continue. That building should fulfill purpose and attain its true design. It should be expanded from 28,000sqm to 40,000sqm from both ends during any future remodeling. In the main time, the focus is on getting the route established.

Hopefully, as from the first quarter of next year, the likes of Air Peace, Emirates, Lufthansa and Ethiopian airlines would be using the new facility.
The new terminal would adequately house those airlines because its passenger capacity is 2 million per year. I would support any plan to expand it to 40 or 50,000 sq km, with a new 30,000sq km domestic terminal. Both terminals should be connected via a tunnel/corridor.
With the promise to stop the importation of Aviation fuel within the next 2 years after the PH refinery and Orient refinery come on stream, the intl tickets to and for Enugu wouldn't be costly.

Can't wait to land at the new terminal in December.
Hopefully, more international airlines will start to land at the new terminal before December.

Looking forward to fligh from Doha to Enugu by Qatar airline or Dubai to Enugu by Emirates.

Hopefully, Turkish airline can kick off their Istanbul to Enugu flight as they already has been granted landing rights since January 2015.

Air Peace said in April that they will start their Enugu to China flight in some months time...may be they are waiting for the new terminal to be completed or that they haven't procured the planes for the international flights.

I was born in Enugu state, Nsukka zone, had my primary education in Enugu Ezike and later left for secondary education in my local govt of Nkanu, I was in Ozalla Boys for 6 years. I have lived in Udi zone for the past 20 years, working and doing business everywhere, especially in the capital city of Enugu. So you can see there are very few people that knows Enugu like I know it. The 3 senatorial zones of Enugu will be covered in my analysis of Enugu, maybe this thread will change a few things, and make our government to think (if they still have that ability)

I love 042. Am from Enugu Ezike.. aji to be precise

Why the hate on Buhari when he is the one constructing the Airport? I just don't get the level of madness displayed here as a result of unwarranted bitterness. Even if Buhari gives you everything you will find ways to deny it. Tufiakwa!

Buhari is constructing what airport with what budget? where in Buhari's budget did it captured the Enugu airport. The budget for that airport was budgeted before Buhari was even elected. Even Enugu was not among the airport to be built with the $500,000,000 borrowed from China. They are Abuja, Lagos, Port Hacourt and Kano.

Chinese company offers to rehabilitate Enugu-Onitsha Expressway on concession


The construction company would rehabilitate the road with its sourced fund, while a process of recouping the money invested would be worked out




A Chinese construction company, China CAMC Engineering Limited, has offered to rehabilitate the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway on Built, Operate and Transfer concession.
The company, led by Dr. Chuma Ezedimma of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, made the disclosure on Friday during a courtesy call on Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.
Ezedimma, who is in-charge of the UNIDO Regional Office in Nigeria, said the Chinese company was a public-owned firm in Asia.
He said the construction company would rehabilitate the road with its sourced fund, while a process of recouping the money invested would be worked out.
“The idea is for China CAMC to rehabilitate the road and toll it for a number of years that will be agreed on to recoup its investment before transferring it to government,” Ezedimma said.
He said funds for rehabilitation of the road would not be a problem as the company had already taken advantage of the China-Africa fund in its operations.
According to him, the company is a reliable partner with UNIDO and has a wide range of interest, which includes power, oil and gas, petrochemical among others.
He said: “The mission of China CAMC Engineering Limited in Nigeria is to seek for investment in several areas like agriculture, infrastructure, mining and social investments.
“As a public and centrally owned company, it has access to the China-Africa fund, which is a $60 billion fund, which we want to use to promote technology and investment in Nigeria.”
Ezedimma said they were in the State to solicit positive partnership in the area of infrastructural development.
He urged the government of Anambra and Enugu States to table the proposal for the rehabilitation of the road to the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola.
Responding, Ugwuanyi expressed delight in the interest of the company to invest in the state.
He said the state government had interest in direct foreign investment, which necessitated the first Enugu State Investment Summit held in April.
The governor said his administration would provide the enabling environment for all investors that sought to do business in the state to thrive.
“The interest of China CAMC to invest in our state is much welcome and we shall make them comfortable and their investments safe,” Ugwuanyi said.
