Governor Udom Emmanuel is changing the outlook and capacity of the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo from a mere aircraft landing bay to world-class that can handle International flights operations, cargo services and repairs/maintenance of all manner of aircraft.

This is in line with Mr Emmanuel’s promise to transform Akwa Ibom into one of the best aviation hubs in Africa.

The nearly completed terminal building is currently undergoing installation of technical and electrical components and looks set to meet the vision of the State Chief Executive. It comes with:

i) A digital self check-in by a robot (pre-planned before Covid-19) and a clinic.

ii) Five bridges, seven elevators, and four escalators which are pressure-sensitive and only move when a passenger is detected.

iii) Special roofing that can last up to 200 years without changing colour.

iv) Very high security architecture with access through fingerprint, digital or card pass.

v) Four methods of fire prevention: fire extinguishers, fire water sprinkler system, fire detectors, FM 200 ie automated fire suppression system.

The terminal, which is designed to accommodate one million passengers per year, occupies a total area of about 30,000 square metres.

Also nearly completed is the first-ever Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul facility of the airport which is estimated to be 91% completed.

The airport also comes with a second runway and new aprons for all aircraft categories.

To handle the impending influx, Mr Udom Emmanuel is expanding the dual carriage Airport Road into an eight-Lane motorway.

With Aviation Development as one of the fundamentals of his Eight Point Agenda, #MrUdomEmmanuel is silently exhibiting character and competence in fulfilling his campaign promises to the state.
