 Group Condemns Attempt to Demarket Enugu Int’l Airport, Calls for Investigation


The Enugu Good Governance Group has frowned at what it described as a deliberate attempt to demarket the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, saying it was unfounded and an unhealthy rivalry taken too far.


The group, which was reacting to a report, which claimed that the runway of the airport was in disrepair and that the facility may be shut down to avert plane crash, however, commended the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, for the timely rebuttal of the fake report.


The group vented its displeasure via a statement issued by its Director of Communications, Mr. Chuks Onovo, on Wednesday.


The group went further to call on the National Security Adviser, NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to investigate the false claim with a view to bringing the culprits to book.


FAAN had on Tuesday refuted the report, maintaining that there was no plan whatsoever to shut down the airport either before Christmas or in the foreseen future.  


The assurance was given by the Manager of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport and Regional Manager of FAAN for the South East, Mr. Hillary Umunna, who declared that "the airport is in the best shape," noting that regular maintenance work was always done to sustain the standard attained by the runway in August 2020.
