Now, two big transformers-12 megawatts each- are erected outside to guarantee regular electricity supply. Mr Akan Okon said “Our Airport has been run on generator since inception. But I am happy to tell you that this government has successfully completed a power substation to power the Airport. We believe this is going to ensure that the Airport is run efficiently”

Recently, Emmanuel built a Commercial Building at the airport which will also in no doubt serve as a means to generate funds to maintain the airport.
