Nigerian President Buhari commissioned new Airport Terminal

Buhari Commission's PH Airport Terminal President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday commissioned the 600 million dollars new international terminal of the Port Harcourt Airport. The project was funded by the Export-Import Bank of China and the Nigerian Government. The airport has a single terminal with separate facilities for international and domestic flights.  For more than 12 years now the airport had gone through series of repairs forcing NCAA to shut down the airport on August18,2006 to allow for maintenance. Such maintenance had been in planning stages for several months, but an electrical fire on 17 August 2006 made repairs immediately necessary. All domestic flights were diverted to Sam Mbakwe Airport (Owerri), Akanu Ibiam International Airport (Enugu) and Margaret Ekpo International Airport (Calabar), while international flights were diverted to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja) or Murtala Mohammed International Airport (Lagos).
