“It is going to occur by flying, getting people from all across the different parts of the world to come to Enugu; and that will mean having an international airport, this terminal, in operation. That is why we are looking at how we can work with FAAN to ensure the completion of this wing of the airport and indeed operationalise it.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the challenge of funding, Mbah assured that FAAN and the state government would explore funding models to actualise the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cNow, we believe that projects like these are bankable because they are also revenue-yielding projects. So, there is no reason why we cannot find a financing model that will work for us and ensure that this project is immediately realised. The ultimate thing is to get it operationalised immediately.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAlso, Governor Mbah said the state government and the FAAN team also had fruitful discussions on timeline to ensure the speedy completion of both projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, we are going to be working out a strategic framework of action of where we are going to, in all the functional areas, spell out timelines that we need to complete this project. But this time, it will not just be words; we will go beyond that to putting those words into action,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Enugu State government has revealed plans to partner the Federal Government of Nigeria to build a cargo terminal of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, boost the state\u2019s and nation\u2019s economy and tourism capacity.
