this should not be a surprise to people that know their country very well, what this translates to is "more money to their pockets "

The Federal Government will still carry out another round of upgrade works on the runway of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja for 18 weeks after the facility would have been reopened for operations on April 19.

A top Presidency official who spoke on the condition of anonymity disclosed this to journalists in Abuja on Sunday.




The airport is currently shut to allow reconstruction work on its runway. The work which is in its third week is expected to last six weeks.

Quoting from a report of the Federal Government Coordinating Committee overseeing the management of the airport repair, closure and relocation, the Presidency official said unlike the ongoing work on the runway, the 18-week upgrade would not necessitate closure of the airport.

He said the upgrade would be done in the night, hence will not disrupt flight operations.

“After the Abuja Airport reopens for operations on April 19, upgrade works on the runway will continue for another 18 weeks.

“This second phase of upgrade works on the runway will be carried out at night, with no disruption to flight schedules,” he said.

He added that a media tour to allow journalists observe and assess the progress on the airport’s runway repair will hold this week as the repair enters its mid-point on Wednesday

Stupid, corrupt government.
In other countries, they repair their tarmac without closing the airport.
Why are we so dumb?

I'm very sure that somewhere somehow someone is embezzling the money that is meant for this project. The money might not be that outrageous to avoid being detected but Naija will always be corrupt.
See you, who's scared of cornering outrageous bills?

Haba, people, una no dey read?! The article says the airport will open on schedule but work will continue on other sections and at night too so as not to affect normal flight ops. So quick to dispense with the criticism. Then again it just goes to show how much the government has messed up and we the people have lost faith completely and totally in them... sad embarassed undecided
