The Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has said that he will
resign if the Abuja International Airport is not opened by April 19,
2017.
The minister made this known at a meeting between the
Ministry of Information and an Aviation Industry Pressure Group, round
table in Lagos.
The Minister said the level of work on the Abuja runway in the past three weeks shows that the re-opening will be on schedule.
At
the same meeting, the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, debunked
social media reports saying the runway will be closed for an extended 18
weeks.
The Federal Government had on March 8, 2017 closed the
Abuja International Airport for six weeks, to enable repair works on the
runway which is said to be dysfunctional.
