The Minister for Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has faulted a media report claiming that it has agreed on a concession duration for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA), Enugu.
It will be recalled that Enugu Airport came under media scrutiny barely 48 hours ago after Air Peace airline suspended its flight operations to the airport due to infrastructural defects.
This suspension of flight services prompted the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to immediately shut the airport, stating that it would embark on emergency runway rehabilitation.
In a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister, Tunde Moshood, on Monday, Keyamo described the report as untrue.
Although the minister acknowledged that the government was considering concessions and had received proposals from various interested companies, he stated that no conclusion had been reached.
