Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Tuesday
protested against the plan by the Federal Government to shut down the Akanu
Ibiam International Airport, Enugu over alleged congestion of shops, describing
it as ill-timed.
The organisation advised the government to “deviate from
such plot, as this will block the economic development in Igboland.”
“The Igbo political office holders both in the National and
State Houses of Assembly, Governors, and Ministers should come together and help
calm down the looming chaos”, Ohanaeze Ndigbo stated.
A statement by Chidozie Orizu, Special Assistant (Media) to
the National Youth Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Arthur Obiora, advised the
government to steer clear of such plans to avoid chaos and crisis.
He said, “The attention of the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo
(Worldwide), has been drawn to the recent publication in the media quoting the
Minister of Aviation on a plan to shut down the Enugu International Airport due
to congestion of shops.
“The government should deviate from such plot, as this will
block the economic development in Igbo land.”
“The Minister should steer clear, otherwise it would cause
chaos because the said airport has been upgraded for use, hence the youths
can’t sit back and watch it happen.”
