Lawmaker Tasks FG To Reopen Enugu International Airport

Deputy Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Hon. Toby Okechukwu (APC-Enugu), has tasked the Federal Government to immediately reopen the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, for ease of transportation during the forthcoming festive period.

Okechukwu, representing Aninri/Awgu/Oji River Federal Constituency, also called on the government to reactivate the remaining air facilities to allow international flight operations.

He said in a statement in Abuja that multiple stopovers would expose people to more risks than a direct flight to their destinations in a time of pandemic.
