Abuja Airport Set To Reopen Tomorrow

In fulfilment of its promise to fix the runway and oth­er facilities at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Air­port within six weeks, the Fed­eral Government will tomor­row reopen the shut airport for normal operations.

The Federal Government had on March 8, 2017, shut the Abuja airport for six weeks to repair its 3.6-kilometre runway.

The decision of the govern­ment to reopen the airport on Wednesday is informed by the approval of the work done on the facility by aviation industry regulators as meeting interna­tional standards.

The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has repeatedly assured Nigeri­ans that the repairs on the air­port would be completed with­in six weeks.

Sirika vowed to resign his appointment if work on the air­port was extended by one day.
