PHIA’s International Wing To Be Ready, December
The International Wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, which was initially proposed to be completed last July, may now be completed in December this year.
The Regional General Manager (RGM), South-South/South-East and Airport Manager, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Ojo Afolabi, who disclosed this in an interview with aviation correspondents in his office at the Port Harcourt Airport, said information he got from the contractor handling the project, the China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC) explained that the work will be completed in December this year.
According to the RGM, the marching order given to the contractor handling the construction of the domestic arrival terminal building, Inter Ban Construction Limited, by the federal government still stands.
He said that the job at the domestic terminal building is progressing, but not the way they have expected it, adding that the matching order given to the company was to complete the project by last march while the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, gave them up till July this year.
“I do not think they can finish by March, 2019. The matching order still stands. One thing is to give matching order, but another thing is to enforce it. Order without enforcement will be of no essence.
“I think what we need now is to enforce the order. Nobody can fight government and nobody is above government. When government wants something to be done, they know how to enforce it.
“It was not the CCECC that said the international wing will be ready by July, it was the minister that said he expects that the job be completed by July”, Afolabi said.
On the concessioning of the airports, he said; that is being handled by the presidency, but urged private and corporate bodies like Intels and other Multinational Oil Companies, to invest in ultra-modern car parks at the airport, just like what obtains at the Lagos and Abuja airports.
