THE repair of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, the runway has been completed, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said in Lagos on Monday. Mrs Herrienta Yakubu, the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, said that the runway is now open for full operations following its completion. Yakubu apologised to travellers and other stakeholders for the inconveniences caused by the partial closure of the runway to pave way for its rehabilitation. NAN reports that the first phase of the repairs was executed from Dec. 14 to Dec. 21, 2017 while the second phase started from Dec. 27, 2017, to Jan. 4. The project was, however, delayed for a few days before the runway was finally opened for full flight operations.
