“I am pleased to announce that night flight operations have been fully restored at Victor Attah International Airport. Last week, I directed the Ibom Airport Development Company to complete the overhaul of navigational aids and lighting systems by September 30, and I am glad to report that the deadline was met.

“I commend the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), the MD/CEO, and the board of the Airport Company for their dedication. With this milestone, our flagship Ibom Air and other airlines can now operate seamlessly, day and night.

“This is another bold step in making Akwa Ibom the nation’s tourism hub, as we prepare for the commissioning of the ARISE Resorts and other ongoing projects in our aviation and tourism sectors.”
