The Governor of Ebonyi State, Mr. Francis Nwifuru has asked the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for technical support for the certification of the Ebonyi State International Airport.
NCAA said in a statement that the governor made the request when paid a courtesy visit to the acting director general, civil aviation, Capt Chris Najomo in his office in Abuja.
Nwifuru was also reported to have shared the state’s broader transport master plan, including its vision for the airport which would serve Ebonyi, Abia, and Benue state as well as parts of Cross River States.
The statement said Najomo assured Nwifuru of NCAA’s commitment to supporting the project by providing the needed technical support and regulatory oversight in line with the federal government’s ease of doing business policy.
