Five years after rehabilitation, Enugu Airport runway fails again
FollowThe Enugu airport runway in Nigeria underwent rehabilitation five years ago but it has already failed again. This has caused disruptions in flight operations and raised concerns about the quality of the rehabilitation work. The runway was closed for three months for repairs but cracks and potholes have reappeared leading to flight cancellations and delays. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured that the runway will be fixed and reopened soon but this recurring issue raises questions about the effectiveness of the rehabilitation work and the maintenance of the airport. It also highlights the need for proper planning and execution of infrastructure projects in the country.
