Abuja airport runway finally completed, under inspection

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja runway is complete and will be reopened on April 19.

The runway, according to the managing director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Engr Saleh Dunoma.

Dunoma said the airport runway is currently being examined by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

Daily Trust quotes him as saying the authority had given the NCAA two days (Sunday and Monday) to inspect it and probably make some observations which would be corrected before the airport reopens on April 19.

Dunoma, who spoke while inspecting the final lap of work, said: “We will be ready by Monday the April 17 but we are leaving the remaining two days for Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), because they have to certify the airport that what we have done is in accordance with their standards.

“If they do that, we will bring in the traffic. But if they do not, we have the opportunity of making corrections with the two days we have saved.”

According to him, the reopening of the airport by April 19 as promised by the federal government is certain.
