The Chuba Okadigbo Airport runway is now being upgraded to international standards by the Ebonyi State government, under the direction of Governor Francis Nwifuru.
Expatriates have been hired to upgrade the airport runway, according to Mrs. Ngozi Obichukwu, State Commissioner for Aviation and Technology.
According to Obichukwu, upgrading the runway from concrete to standard asphalting will improve the efficiency of international airlines and other flight operations at the airport.
The runway is made of concrete rather than asphalt, assuring foreign airlines and travelers of adequate protection and a safe landing at the airport. Because of this, Governor Francis Nwifuru immediately sent out professionals who are experienced in runway construction to see how the runway may be rebuilt to meet international standards.
“The expatriates are here and as you can see, they are working tirelessly to ensure that the runway meets international standard. The United Nigeria Airways landed here and requested that the concrete be upgraded to standard asphalting.
“Governor Francis Nwifuru has opened discussion with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, CCECC and CDC construction companies to ensure that the runway is constructed to international standard.
She added that: “Chuba Okadigbo Airport is a threat to other airports in the South-East region, and needs to be upgraded.”
