Coronavirus: FG Extends Airport Closure By Two Weeks by fergie001: 6:58pm On Apr 20, 2020
The Federal Government has extended the closure of airports in the country by two weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, disclosed this on Monday.

The PUNCH had reported that the FG shut all international airports in the country on Monday, March 23 for one month.

Subsequently, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had extended the closure to all local airports in the country while announcing total lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States on March 29.

The Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Abuja are two major entry points into Nigeria.

Despite the closure of these airports and all others in the country to commercial flight operations, the government had said emergency and essential flights could be operated from any of the airports within the period.

COVID-19. As a result of the extension on lockdown by Mr President it is no longer possible for us to open our airspace and airports for normal operations by the 23rd April, 2020. They will remain closed for a further 2 weeks. This subject to review as appropriate, please.������

Tough decision, though very necessary at the moment.

The fear of COVID-19 is the beginning of survival wisdom.

If they had closed it in time, this might still be less.

Pretty much like "Medicine after death"

I think the airports should remain closed until this pandemic is over. 2 weeks ko, 2 days ni. Lock everything till we're fully sure we're clear.

Good. It wouldn't have gotten this worse if the Airports were closed on time. Opening it too soon will cause more Corona carnage here. Lots of countries are having it bad right now and some Mumu will fly out,only to import it again into Nigeria.
