Tinubu to commission Chuba Okadigbo Airport in Ebonyi Friday
Ebonyi State Government has announced its preparedness to welcome the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to the state on Friday.
DAILY POST gathered that during the visit, the wife of the president, Oluremi, will, upon her arrival, commission the Chuba Okadigbo International Airport runway at Onueke, Ezza South LGA.
Recall that the administration of Governor Francis Nwifuru, on assumption of office one year ago, embarked on the rehabilitation of the Chuba Okadigbo Airport runway to meet international standards.
Investigation revealed that the governor spent over N17.8 billion on the rehabilitation of the longest airport runway in the South-East region.
The Commissioner for Aviation and Transport Technology, Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Obichukwu, in a statement after a courtesy call to DSS and other security operatives on routine surveillance of the airport, said that the state government was fully prepared for the commissioning.
She said that the commissioning of the runway by the wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, would mark the recommencement of full flight operations at the airport.
Obichukwu said that the asphalted airport runway is the longest in the South-East region and, therefore, called on travelers to come to Ebonyi to take their flights, especially during the upcoming Yuletide season.
The commissioner said: “I had an audience with the DSS on routine surveillance of the International Airport, Onueke, in preparation for the commissioning of the asphalted runway by the wife of the president, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
“Chuba Okadigbo Airport has fully recommenced flight operations, and we call on the general public, travelers, to come here and take their flights. This is because we have the best and longest runway in the South-East region,” she stressed.
She further commended the enormous efforts of the state governor, Francis Nwifuru, in ensuring that the runway was completed and met international standards.
