Forget the Emoticon with mouth open in
shock…you have to read to find out whether
the Airport would still be opened on April
19th or not..
The Federal Government has extended the
timeline for repair work on the runway of
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in
Abuja, by another 18 weeks.
According to Daily Trust, a highly-placed
official in the presidency, revealed this in a
statement made available to State House
correspondents on Sunday.
The official, who pleaded anonymity, said
the second phase of the upgrade work would
be done at night, to avoid disruption of flight
schedules.
The Abuja Airport was shut down on March
8, 2017 and is expected to be re-opened on
April 19.
“After the Abuja Airport reopens for
operations on April 19, upgrade works on
the runway will continue for another 18
weeks. This second phase of upgrade works
on the runway will be carried out at night,
with no disruption to flight schedules,” the
official said.
Reports showed that over 43,000 passengers
passed through the Kaduna Airport in its
first 11 days of operation, as alternative to
the Abuja Airport.
The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport
was temporarily closed from midnight on
Tuesday, March 7, 2017, to enable the
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN),
carry out major rehabilitation of the runway
at the airport.
FAAN’s managing director, Saleh Dunoma,
appealed to airline operators, passengers,
airport users and other stakeholders to bear
with the FAAN, saying it would continue to
upgrade facilities at the nation’s airports.
He explained that this was in compliance
with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA) and International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) annexes.
