In another report, the government of Enugu State and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) have entered into a partnership that will see the completion and operationalization of the international terminal as well as the construction of a cargo terminal and warehouses at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
Consequently, a committee has been constituted to fine-tune the modalities towards the actualization of the long-awaited infrastructural upgrade.
The Managing Director of FAAN, Olubunmi Oluwaseun Kuku, praised what she described as “the wisdom of the Enugu State Government to partner FAAN in providing critical infrastructure that will enhance the ability of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in providing seamless operations in cargo, domestic, and international passenger facilitation.”
Speaking at a meeting between the state government and FAAN at the Government House Enugu, Kuku stressed that the infrastructural upgrade, when completed, would “catalyse the business potential of the South East region, increase wealth creation within the zone, reduce poverty, and enhance the GDP of the states within this geopolitical zone.”
