This was part of the resolutions reached by the lawmakers during plenary on Thursday after Senator Victor Umeh drew the attention of his colleagues to the decision to downgrade the airport.
Rather than going ahead with such a move, the Senate urged the government to rehabilitate the runway of the airport to ensure the safety of passengers and aircraft.
It also advised the government to take steps to complete the new terminal building of the Enugu International Airport and put it to use by local and foreign airlines.
The Senate resolved to urge the Federal Ministry of Aviation and its agencies to develop a water source from the nearby Ekulu River for the use of the airport.
It commended the Enugu State government for swiftly demolishing and ordering the relocation of Orie Emene Market.
The Senate was pleased that the state government speedily shut down the nearby abattoir and ordered the immediate removal of the broadcasting mast and other illegal structures on the approach of the airport.
