FG Set to Close Down Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja for Several Weeks

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport airport is set to be closed down for many weeks by the Federal Government as new measures are taken for safety. Mr. Hadi Sirika, the Minister of State for Aviation, on monday said the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) in Abuja would be closed between February and March next year to allow Julius Berger carry out repairs on the damaged runway. Briefing journalists after an on-the-spot assessment of the runway, he said while the runway would still be put to use during the six months of rehabilitation, the airport would however be shut for six weeks between February and March, when the mid section of the runway would be reconstructed.
