Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, says that the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja will be closed for six weeks
between February and March next year. Speaking to newsmen in Abuja
yesterday, Sirika said the closure is to enable a construction company,
Julius Berger Plc, carry out re-construction work on the badly damaged
airport runway.
He explained that during the closure, Kaduna airport
will be used as an alternative for Abuja bound passengers from any part
of the world.
Addressing the issue of Aviation fuel scarcity that has affected most
airlines, Sirika said
“Talk is ongoing with oil marketers, the Ministry of Petroleum and
Central Bank of Nigeria to resolve the crisis. Very soon, the country
will be out of this, as we cannot be relying on Ghana for aviation
fuel.”
