Flight operations at Chuba Okadigbo Airport in Onueke, Ebonyi State, are set to resume in November, according to Mrs. Ngozi Obichukwu
, the State Commissioner for Aviation.
Obichukwu explained that the only delay in resuming flights stemmed from the runway’s condition, which had undergone significant rehabilitation. Previous operations were hampered due to flaws in the runway's construction, which could not support most aircraft. 'We commend Gov. Nwifuru for fulfilling his promise of rehabilitating the runway, which is now one of the best in the country,' she stated, noting sadness over the passing of the lead engineer who oversaw the project.
