BREAKING: FG To Shut Down Enugu Airport (see Why) by DeLinguaMan: 9:10pm On May 17, 2019
The Federal Government says it will shut down the Enugu ‘Akanu Ibiam’ International Airport due to deplorable state of its runway.

Igbere TV reports that the Minister of Aviation (State), Hadi Sirika made the disclosure at a stakeholders forum on Friday in Lagos.

He said the airport will be degraded for international operations because the runway length is not ideal for such operations.

According to him, the market, television masts and free trade zone needs to be relocated for the airport to be fit for safe flights.

The minister also said the Lagos International Airport terminal would be partially pulled down by Julius Berger Limited for major facelift that will cost N14 billion.

This, he said, will happen after the inauguration of the new terminal.

nothing is international about the airport, it should be converted to local flight or community flight.
I rest my submission.

The facilities used in Lagos, Abuja and Kano, where did the money come from if not Biafra oil money.

YET THE SAME SS/SE PAYING FOR FACILITIES IN LAGOS, KANO AND ABUJA CANNOT BENEFIT FROM THEIR OIL MONEY?


Which Biafra Oil?
