FG Declares Bola Tinubu Int'l Airport As Alternative To Nnamdi Azikwe Airport by TimeManager(op): 4:55pm On Apr 23, 2025

The Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna, Niger State, has officially been designated as the alternative airport to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

This announcement was made by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, during the launch of Overland Airways’ commercial flight operations from the Minna airport.

Highlighting the airport’s capacity and strategic relevance, Keyamo praised the facility’s infrastructure and its potential to serve as a major aviation hub.

“The runway is an international runway; a 747 and a triple seven can use this runway. Why, over the years, this has been underutilised is still a puzzle,” the minister said.

He emphasised that the airport meets international standards in both physical and operational aspects, and expressed surprise at its previous underuse.

“Our eyes are on this airport. By the powers conferred on me, I declare Minna Airport as the alternative to Abuja Airport. NCAA, FAAN, take note,” Keyamo declared.

The declaration is expected to bolster aviation traffic in Minna and serve as a strategic relief point for flight operations in northern Nigeria, especially during emergencies or congestion at the Abuja airport.

A fantastic decision, Minna Airport is aesthetically pleasing, Gov Bago did an amazing job. Abuja airport needed decongestion a long time ago.

What do you mean by "alternative airport"? Is runway the only thing that makes an airport? What about infrastructure? Volume of traffic it can handle? Proximity to happening places? Abi body dey sweet you you just open mouth waaaa... Or is it just because of the name? Politicians and their hullabaloo.

Journalists will always deliberately report news in a sensational and provocative manner. Instead of Minna airport Vs Abuja airport, they want it to be seen as Bola Tinubu Vs Nnamdi Azikiwe airports

I dream of a time when a real leader will emerge in AsoRock who will review all national monuments that our useless looting corrupt politicians have named after themselves... And properly rename it with a name more befitting and honorable. It will happen

What's the status of the road from Minna to Abuja? What is the distance and how secured is the axis? That said, I am not sure how many international planes take off and land at the Abuja airport daily to necessitate this.
