Despite being newly inaugurated, the governor believes that the airport should operate optimally, given the substantial investment made in its construction.
During a media chat held as part of the activities to mark Nigeria’s 63rd Independence celebration and the 27th anniversary of the state’s creation, Governor Nwifuru addressed concerns about the substantial cost of rehabilitating the airport.
He acknowledged that many concerned Ebonyi citizens had raised questions about the expenses involved in the airport’s renovation. The governor shared that even a fellow governor had asked him a similar question, to which he responded that the airport’s initiators had noble intentions. However, the primary issue was that the runway was not conducive for safe aircraft landings.
Governor Nwifuru elaborated on the runway’s problems, explaining that it was not smooth, causing difficulties for several planes and leading to many avoiding landing at the facility. Initially, the government attempted to address the issue by closing the expansion joints on the runway, but the problem persisted.
To find a lasting solution, the governor’s administration reached out to the federal ministry of aviation, which outlined the necessary processes for the airport’s rehabilitation. The governor emphasized that the complexity of the situation ultimately resulted in the significant financial commitment, as the government opted to engage the best contractors to ensure a successful outcome.
In addition to addressing the airport rehabilitation, Governor Nwifuru clarified the government’s stance on the presence of barricades set up by the police and other security agencies around Abakaliki, particularly at night. He emphasized that these barricades were established to protect the lives of citizens and would not be dismantled. The governor’s administration remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of Ebonyi State residents.
