'Ebonyi airport will create jobs, boost state’s economy' - ALGON

The Ebonyi State chapter of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) has stated that the international airport being constructed by the governing body of the state will create more jobs for people in the state.

Chairman of the association in the state, Mrs Nkechinyere Iyioku made the statement when she led her members on an inspection of the project.

Expressing her happiness and optimism at the work done so far, she stated that it will be completed soon.

“The people from this area will benefit very well. It will go a long way to employ the people from this place and those from other parts of the state. We are pleased with what is happening here and we are very happy; the quality of work and how the work is going very fast.

"Last time we came, it was like a desert but now, the work is almost at 70 per cent completion. So, we thank God in three months time when we will be coming for another inspection, it will be at 95 per cent completion if not 100 per cent.  

“So, we want to thank the governor so much for this wonderful project and all the numerous projects he has executed. We are pleased with what he is doing and what we saw at this international airport. By the grace of God, before this time next year, we will be using the airport,” she said.
