The special assistant to the Governor of Ebonyi State on Airport Security, Hon Nnanna Nwangele has lauded Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru's efforts towards sustainable commercial flight operations at the Chuba Okadigbo international airport.

Nwangele said this following a disclosure by the state's Commissioner for Aviation, Dr Ngozi Obichukwu who revealed Governor Nwifuru's directives to ensure commercial flight operations commence to boost the state's economy and create more jobs.

While commending her efforts towards ensuring adherence to the governor's directives, he revealed that commercial flights would be scheduled twice a week, en route from Ebonyi State to Abuja and Lagos State precisely on Mondays and Fridays.

In his words; "His Excellency, our dear Governor, R.t Hon Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru-Onwaa has made efforts towards ensuring permanent measures for flight operations in Ebonyi State.

"This measure has paid off as flight operations resume very soon, flights would be scheduled for twice in a week, precisely Mondays and Fridays from Ebonyi to Abuja and Ebonyi to Lagos". Nwangele explained.

He lauded Governor Nwifuru and described him as a silent achiever whose action speaks louder than voice, "Bravo Onwaa, the silent Achiever". He added.

Ebonyi on the rise

Ebonyi wonder amazing state

The governor should do that as a matter of urgency. That massive airport must not be allowed to become white elephant project. Airpeace can be lobbied to operate the route. It would serve Ebonyi, Northern cross river and parts of Benue.

Have flights been going to the Ishieke Airport since commissioning by Dave Umahi before now? Someone did a thread here that the Airport have been redundant since then. Ebonyi people please verify.

this is really a welcome development. Alaigbo must flourish, Ebonyi is working, Abia is working and this gives me joy. Good a thing Enugu has always enjoyed good governance
