Overview
Otti sets 24 months to complete Abia international airport
Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has disclosed that he is targeting 24 months completion of the newly flagged off Abia Airport project in Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Ares of the state, despite a 36-month completion contractual agreement with the contractor.
Otti disclosed this on Sunday, December 22, during a church service at Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Kilometre 3, Opobo Road, Ovom 1, Ogbor Hill, Aba.
He said, “A few days ago, we flagged off the Abia International Airport. We gave the contractor 36 months to complete, it but I have extracted a commitment that in 24 months, the airport will be ready for us to use.”
Recall that on Tuesday, December 17, Otti, alongside Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barr. Festus Keyamo, performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Abia Airport, Nsulu.
The Federal Government had initially proposed and made provision for an airstrip in the 2024 budget but consented to the Abia State government’s request to make it a full-fledged airport. The Airport project is being handled by Craneburg Construction Company.
Otti, who, in his usual way of attending churches unannounced, attended the church service with his amiable wife, Priscilla, who was marking her birthday the same day.
