…Say FG funding withdrawal will undermine airport standards
By Anayo Okoli
ENUGU — The Igbo Leaders of Thought (ILT), a group of prominent Igbo intellectuals, traditional rulers and stakeholders, has rejected the Federal Government’s concession of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA), Enugu, to a private company.
The group described the decision by the administration of President Bola Tinubu as “another grave act of injustice against Ndigbo” and a further demonstration of the marginalisation of the South-East.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), last Thursday formally handed over the airport to Aero Alliance Limited after the completion of the necessary documentation.
