RevDesm0ndJuju:you will type one question and contradict yourself again... Your a specialist confusuionist. How will they divert all abuja bound passengers to the train, what then happens to people that already make use of the train service everyday, will you rob peter to pay paul. if the international flights wouldnt land in Abuja, they can as well decide to land in lagos.. Thats their ish not urs, afterall your just commenting on nairaland while others are flying. 2 Likes |

Is that not a Boko route they now want to expose innocent Nigerians to. The same army boko is slaughtering at will they want us to trust to provide security. Well for me I will not agree to ply that route by road. If they cannot provide two runways in Abuja at this level of our history too bad. |

dingbang: They said six weeks, not months. And that road that you say was repaired in Japan had to be closed again because the contractors didn't fix it properly the first time: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/28/asia/japan-sinkhole-fukuoka/index.html 1 Like |

I didn't read the whole report but I don't think this should affect the international wing. But if it does, how will they resolve cases of travellers who had booked about two weeks ahead from other countries? All these unannounced changes that characterise this administration is partly responsible for the soaring dollar/naira relationship. I can't imagine myself giving out #480k in exchange for $1k for God's sake. I don't know if this Travelex (or whatever they call themselves) are still working. |

This is what bad management causes! There's no other place in the world where a major Airport is closed for 6 weeks (one month two weeks)! Nigerian govt. hardly maintains anything. They must have ignored the runway maintenance (and looted maintenance fund) until it became worse! 2 Likes |

This is why major airports should have more than 1 runway. But at least we have an alternative. 1 Like |

Nigerian leaders take short-sighted decisions because they know most of the citizens have short memory How many people can recall that the construction of the 2nd runway for Abuja airport was awarded to Julius Berger in February 2010 but was canceled by the federal government shortly after based on the motion moved in the House of Representatives by the then Hon Dino Melaye (now a senator) alleging that the contract was overpriced at N64b. Nigerians hailed the decision that time. The second runway would have been ready by 2013 if that contract was just reviewed rather than canceled. Between 2010 and now, Abuja airport had been closed on many occasions for short periods for emergency repairs of the only one runway that it has. In 2014, a Saudi cargo airplane crash landed on the runway and the airport was closed for three days 3 Likes |

No well thought out at all, the distance from Kaduna to Abuja alone is killing beside the roads are bad. They should increase the trips made by the Kaduna - Abuja train, the travel time is 2 hours, but getting to the Railway Station is another hell. The station is far from the town. |
