Following the traffic congestion experienced by passengers at Abuja
airport, the Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka has promised to
deliver the new terminal in the next six months.
Unlike his predecessor, Chidoka said he will focus more on security
and safety of the airports.

Speaking at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport after an
inspection tour on Thursday, the Minister said he will prioritize
projects because of fund constraints.
He also promised to meet with contractors in order to speed up work.
“Within now and four to six months we shall get the new terminal up
and running in the domestic area so that they can walk through and
the sufferings that the passengers are going through will be a thing of
the past.

“Because of the structure of the airport and the ongoing rehabilitation,
there is bound to traffic so we expect that Nigerians should please
appreciate and understand our challenges at this time, but we are
going to open up more communication channels to show people what
is about to happen and by the time the work is completed, Nigerian
passengers will travel in a much more comfortable atmosphere.”
Speaking about his area of interest, he said: “I have also tried to see
that my predecessor had done very well in the terminal buildings. So
all that we need is to focus and complete the work that has already
started, but with that we want to pull our resources away from the
terminal remodelling and focus more on the security and safety of the
airports.

“But beyond the passengers and travel our key focus is safety and
security of the airport. While we want to make the passengers to travel
in a more convenient manner we don’t want to compromise the
security of the airport.”

He said talks are on with airline operators to make sure that they
focus more on the safety of passengers and air space.
Speaking on funding, the minister said: “there are funding constraints
but we are going to manage within the available funding to make sure
that we work on the critical parts and get the critical projects up and
running.”
