✈️๐Ÿ’ผ Governor Mbah Unveils 30 Year Public Private Concession For Akanu Ibiam International Airport



ENUGU, Nigeria, June 26, 2026 - The Enugu State Government, in synchronized coordination with the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has executed a monumental economic modernization milestone following the formal operational handover of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport. Presided over by Governor Peter Mbah alongside Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo, the landmark treaty transitions management responsibilities to Aero Alliance Limited under a long-term 30-year Public-Private Partnership concession.

The strategic transaction resolves over two decades of regulatory backlogs under the administration's investment-led expansion agenda, paving the path for the private consortium to finance, rehabilitate, and expand the facility to global logistics benchmarks. Under the legal terms of the framework, Aero Alliance Limited will install advanced technological runways, optimize cargo distribution networks, and significantly enhance passenger processing terminals while fully preserving existing civil service labor security.

Governor Mbah stated that structuring high-fidelity international trade gateways is an absolute prerequisite for positioning the capital territory as a competitive destination for cross-border investments. The administration has synchronized state logistics zoning plans with the new airport management guidelines, establishing Enugu as an unbendable aviation hub designed to eliminate commercial transit bottlenecks across the entire West African sub-region.
