FG postpones Abuja airport closure to March 8
The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, will be closed on March 8 for repairs, the Ministry of Transportation said on Tuesday.
The airport runway is to undergo renovations expected to last six weeks.
The new date, which was previously fixed for February, was announced after a meeting between Minister of State (Aviation), Hadi Sirika, and stakeholders in the sector.
According to the plan, flights to the Abuja Airport would be diverted to the Kaduna Airport, and passengers will travel to Abuja in bus shuttles, guarded by security provided by the government, to the capital.
