The House of Representatives Committee on Aviation has given the Federal Ministry of Aviation three weeks to submit papers concerning the contract for the construction of General Aviation Terminal and Pilot Lounge at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
It was learnt that both buildings, which have been roofed, were marked for demolition by the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria due to what they tagged ‘structural defects.’
But the Chairman House Committee on Aviation, Nnolim Nnaji, gave the directive, when he led members of the committee for an oversight function on the airport, to summon the contractor to explain how much was spent on the project.
The committee also inspected the VOR/DME and Meteorological facilities, ILS installations 26/08, Runway Civil/AFL works and Cargo site.
Nnaji told the contractor handling the rehabilitation of the airport runway shut down on August 24, 2019 to deliver the project before Easter as earlier agreed.
Nnaji who expressed displeasure over the pace of work on the runway, said the National Assembly would not accept any excuse from the contractor for failure.
