If Okoro is proud of a place like Enugu then he is finished. Enugu is like a village,it looks like Okoro will never see light. No wonder Okoro will always remain our slaves. Slaves for life. |

The runway portion of the Enugu airport rehabilitation will cost N8.5 billion. The remaining N1.5 billion will be used for other works https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenationonlineng.net/n8-5-billion-to-be-spent-on-enugu-airport-reps-told/amp/ |

PDPGuy: Whopping N8.5 billion just to resurface a 3KM runway? Enugu airport runway is the shortest international airport runway in Nigeria, yet it is currently the MOST EXPENSIVE! What they are currently doing is merely resurfacing of the old runway. They scrape off the old tar and lay a new one. They are not re-doing the concrete base of the runway nor completing the abandoned taxiway! Yet, they will steal N8.5 billion for it! How much did the 4 KM Abuja airport runway cost? EFCC will still revisit how N10 billion naira tax-payers money was stolen in the purported Enugu International airport re-branding. 7 Likes

ChimaAdeoye: Hehehehe So for your mind you think say dem go fit spend 10 billion naira for your 'nyamuree' airport abi? When that Igbo delegation went to beg him to please fix AIIA Enugu (he loves it when Igbos beg him for anything) he just plucked that 10 billion naira out of nowhere and declared that's what will be spent on the airport! They now have to find spurious headings under which they will say the entire 10 billion was spent....just to cover Buharis' ass and also make it look like Igbos are getting it good under this admin'! 1 Like |

The only thing that keeps enugu alive is the student/youth population, the state is filled with old civil servants with rickety vehicles. Enugu is usually boring whenever the students are on vacation. Owerri is the place to be men. . . 2 Likes |

Now, FAAN are saying the airport project will be ready in the last week of April, after the minister kept assuring that it would be complete before Easter... Maybe the alleged hostility of some communities where the special construction stones are located is responsible for the delay. |

NAMA installs new CAT 2 ILS/DME at Enugu Airport The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has successfully installed a new CAT 2 Instrument Landing System and Distance Measuring Equipment (ILS/DME) at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu to replace the old system which was installed since 2003. A successful site acceptance test on the equipment has also been conducted by NAMA engineers in Enugu in preparation for its calibration in the coming days. Meanwhile, in a bid to address communication blind spots in the Lagos South-East corridor, the Agency has installed a VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) for satellite communication at the airport. This SATCOM (Satellite Communication) node has further been integrated into the national satellite communication network which is linked to the AFISNET (African Indian Ocean SATCOM Network). Also linked to the VSAT is the newly installed Remote Control Air-Ground (RCAG) Very High Frequency (VHF) radio communication system, ensuring that Enugu now has an extended VHF coverage on 127.3MHz frequency for Lagos South-East sector. Speaking on the gains of this latest installation, Managing Director of NAMA, Captain Fola Akinkuotu, who noted with delight that radio communication along the Lagos South-East sector had improved tremendously, said: “The installation of the VHF radio in Enugu was particularly significant as the city is strategically located to accommodate over six routes, both local and international.” “Enugu, being on a higher latitude, can cover for Manfe entry/exit reporting point in Cameroun for international flights like Ethiopian, Rwanda Airlines, Kenya Airways, South Africa Airways and the like,” Akinkuotu said. The NAMA boss revealed that the new installation had provided an Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network (AFTNlink) which would enhance effective data communication for transmission of flight plans, NOTAMs and Aeronautical Communication messages. According to him, this “would also provide effective coordination between Enugu tower and Lagos Area Control Centre through the ATS/DS (Air Traffic Services/ Direct Speech) for departing and arriving traffic ahead of time.” 3 Likes |

PDPGuy: The Minister and the FAAN boss Capt. Rabiu Yadudu are no longer speaking of the runway elongation from 3KM to 3.5KM to accomodate landing of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet etc, that they gave as reason for inevitable closure for a long period. So let me ask, did they close the airport for almost 6 months now just to resurface the runway and install Instrument Landing System (ILS) & (DME) at Enugu Airport ?---- and this is what a whopping N8.5 Billion naira would be used for? 6 Likes

Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by PDPGuy: 5:46am On Jan 30, 2020 |
ChimaAgbalajob: Well, as of three weeks ago, the consultant to both FAAN and the Transport ministry says the runway will be able to hold a 747-400 plane. So, it's still likely that the runway would be extended to a minimum of 3.4km. However, I don't think the airport should have been closed for 8 months just to resurface/reconstruct the runway, install runway lighting, ILS, and DME. At very least, the project could have taken no more than 2-3 months to complete. But in Nigeria, the government and contractors love working at a leisurely pace which is soo annoying. 1 Like |

ChimaAdeoye: Excessive city expansion is the bane of poor urban planning. Visit most European cities, they are built on 5 levels minimum. The larger the sprawl of a city, the costlier it is to run. The more the infrastructure needed, and utility services are costlier. Recently visited Barcelona, it is not a brand new city, but I could quite see what Onitsha could have been like, if we continued with proper urban planning and an organized housing development. Enugu does not need expansion, what it needs are high rises and organized housing development. Infrastructure for public transport and utilities- water, gas, internet and power. 7 Likes 1 Share |
