Good one. Despite billions spent by the certified ineffectual buffon goodluck Jonathan to renovate the country's airports, nothing came out of it. He only embezzled the funds as usual.

Yes. Nothing.
The same Ethiopian Airlines having scheduled flights to/from Enugu and Kano airports is nothing to those who have chosen to be deaf and blind to good news around them.
Those with bile and hatred are liable to die young.
Advice from the Federal Ministry of Health.

This is called water salute or water canon. Done for first or last flight of an airline on a runway.

A way of saying congratulations for being the first plane to land on the renovated runway.

If you check YouTube, you will see that the same ritual was performed on Trump's plane at the JFK airport the first time he used the airport as President-elect in November last year.

Has he kept the promise of publicly declaring his assets?
Has he kept the promise of N5,000 stipend?
Has he kept the promise of N40 fuel price with subsidy?
Has he kept the promise of improving the N200 exchange rate he inherited?
Has he kept the promise of school feeding?
The failure has only kept the promise of change- for worse.

That resurrection is another failed promise from Buhari.
We are still waiting for the sale of all the presidential jets to the revived Nigerian Airways so he can fly with it like the Prime Minister of Britain where he runs to for treatment after banning government officials from doing the same.
Such a corrupt hypocrite.

From the lie of saying nothing to you saying the result is Sub standard, you are making progress in your redemption.

Meanwhile have you considered that the $43 million found in Ikoyi is from this arrangement with the aviation minister? Or you are incapable of processing such?

Not possible.
All the paparazzi on maintenance work on the tarmac was to arrange the $43 million discovered by whistle blowers in the Ikoyi apartment of the minister and his girlfriend.
