The federal government says Akanu Ibiam International
Airport in Enugu state will reopen on Monday, following the completion of
emergency repairs on the runway.
On April 18, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria
(FAAN) announced the temporary closure of the airport after a sudden and major
rupture appeared in the asphalt surface at a critical part of the runway.
Obiageli Orah, FAAN director of public affairs and consumer
protection, said the repairs were initially planned to be completed later, but
the work was swiftly done.
“The work was scheduled to begin on April 22nd and conclude
before reopening on May 6th, 2025,” Orah said.
“However, rehabilitation works on the runway have been
completed, and the runway is cleared for landings and takeoffs by the engineers
working with FAAN.
“FAAN appreciates all airport users and stakeholders for
their understanding and cooperation during this time.”
Orah said the authority apologised for the inconvenience but
assured the public that all actions were taken for safety.
