FG To Shutdown Enugu Airport Over Deplorable Runway

The Minister of State, Aviation , Hadi Sirika said Enugu Airport will be shutdown over the deplorable condition of the length.

Sirika disclosed this in Lagos at a stakeholders forum, adding that this will happen after the inauguration of the new terminal.

The Minister noted the airport will be degraded for international operations because the runway length is not ideal for such operations.

He said the market, television masts and free trade zone need to be relocated for the airport to be fit for safe flights.

He also said Lagos international airport terminal would be partially pulled down by Julius Berger Limited for major facelift that will cost N14 billion.
