The Ebonyi State House of Assembly has approved the purchase of aircraft for the smooth take-off and services at the Chuba Okadigbo International Airport, Onueke in Ezza South local government area of the state.
Reading the letter of Governor Francis Nwifuru during its plenary, Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Moses Odunwa highlighted the importance of floating a fully state-owned airline in ensuring maximal operations at the airport.
Moving a motion for approval, the leader of the House and member representing Afikpo North West State Constituency, Hon Kingsley Ikoro said with the airport in operation, it will not be proper if the state does not have any aircraft and has to wait to be serviced by aircraft from other parts of the country.
Seconding the motion, the member representing, Izzi East Constituency, Hon Goodluck Mbam described the governor's request as a wise decision that would not only boost the operations of the airport but as well generate more revenue to the state.
