FG, Enugu partner to operationalise cargo, international terminals of Akanu Ibiam airport

The federal government and Enugu state are set to partner to complete and operationalise the international wing of the Akanu Ibiam Airport and its cargo terminal.

“We met with the governor here today with a view to collaborating with FAAN in order to make the international terminal functional,” he said.“This is a time to look at things again and again before you will be able to get the right formula for it, and I believe his excellency has that formula and within the shortest possible time, I can assure you that this terminal will be put to use.

Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu, told journalists that the airport terminals are enablers of investments and will be critical to the state’s drive for a $30 billion economy.“For us, the cargo terminal is critical. You know that we are migrating agriculture to agro-allied industrialisation,” Mbah said.“That means agriculture will not just be for food, it will also be for export.
