The founder of Ohaneze Ndigbo in South Africa, Chief Jonas Udeji,
has called on the Buhari-led Federal Government to approve more international
flights for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
Udeji
made the call in a statement after the group’s celebration of the 2016 new yam
festival in Johannesburg, South Africa. He said that the airport needed
more international flights because of the volume of business done in the South
East.
“I appeal to the Federal Government to approve more international flights for the airport, especially from South Africa because of the entrepreneurial skills of the people. “Majority of the people is in business and it will be more convenient to have direct flights to Enugu. It is always a burden to land in Lagos or Abuja before connecting to Enugu.
“Ohaneze Ndigbo in South Africa is happy with the commencement of cargo flight to the airport by Ethiopia Airways and we want more of such flights to the airport,” he said.
