When people call here a zoo, we start talking rubbish. Where else in the world would you get this kind of treatment? Even in Sudan, you can't get it.
Buhari is the anti christ

first time am hearing this...never knew airport had closing hour...shabi its 24hrs services
Kind of but i think Turkish airline usually leaves last around past 11 pm before midnight in Abuja airport, from then there are usually no flights till around 4am when BA arrives. So within that inactive period those Airport security usually close the entrance only to allow staffs on duty in & out

An international airport?

Anybody reading this news that have access to the concerned authorities should please bring it to their notice.

How can an international airport close, have never heard it or experience it in my years of traveling; instead of using the opportunity to present gifts to the travelers in the spirit of the seasons.

Not even Rwanda’s Kigali airport as small as it is closes anytime of the day.

So much for gaint of Africa huh

But I believe we will get there...the upcoming generation only needs to have a positive mindset, so when we get there, we are fully prepared.

God bless Nigeria

Merry Christmas
Then you haven't traveled far

Many international airports close at night.

Heathrow airport closes from 11:30pm until 6am

Same for Zurich international airport

In some airports, closing time though does not mean one can't snooze on benches.

So because of you the authority should bend their rules. Pick cap, lodge into a hotel and stop all this!
some times your Visa can not allow you into any country you want so the best option is you stay in the airport till your flight use ready
cause if you travelling to USA and you stop in Dubai for next flight you can not be allowed into Dubai to go get hotel cause you don't have a visa for Dubai the country provides for you guys at the airport till your flight is ready that's the way it is done any where in the world for international travel

International airport closed?
Re: Travelers Sleep By Roadside At Abuja Airport As Staff Push Them Out by Nobody: 2:37pm On Dec 25, 2018
to think that these passengers paid over 200k for their flightsonly to be treated like refugees in their own country, air travel in nigeria is a disaster.

At 2 am on the 25th December. Maybe because of the public holiday if not, I have never heard of that before. This is savagery

That's how it is in all airports in Nigeria. When is midnight, Airforce officials do chase people out of airport, u can't even sleep in parked car. I narrowly escaped that in Port Harcourt airport last Wednesday.

Why are you having Atiku 4 president as your name? If you are sincere with the zoo thing, then you shouldn't be supporting people responsible for the zoo you are insinuating. If they can't fix it in 8yrs his tenure and 16 yrs pdp's overall what new things is Atiku coming with? If APC and Buhari failed certainly not Atiku that will come fix things. You are calling Nigeria zoo and supporting people who made it zoo. If APC made it zoo one time , PDP made it zoo 6 times. That's the ration 1: 6. 4years to 16 years.
You should be supporting a neutral person not APC or PDP if you are a honest person.

juniorstar:

Because the closest hotel to that airport is no where close. You have to practically leave the airport and head for places like Kuje and Lugbe before you see anything that looks like a befitting hotel. That means the likelihood of missing your flight has been raised by 50%!

Anyway, I will blame the overzealous FAAN security staff, they are the ones usually shutting down the place around that time even other airport staff will not be able to move in and out at their will. All this I presume is in a bid no one disturbs their sleep them throughout that period!

If you don't have sense and comprehension skills, don't comment. International Airports around the world don't close at anytime of the day!

There are no rules there been bent it's the workers putting the Nigerian mentality to work at the airport. So if you don't know what to say, keep shut at least that way, we'd think you're wise
"international airports around the world?"

who gives a fvck about airports around the world? we have our own rules and regulations , if the airport closes at 2 then it closes at 2!

they should've planned better

You're a fool!
Why should airports be closing?
Just ask your stupid self again,why should an international airport close?
But no,you won't think beause everything to you is politically motivated,if you use your sense,you'll know this is beyond Buhari/Atiku saga but no you won't,when you dont think!
That's why we need to travel out at a point in our life,so we can see a real and good standard of living and not the rubbish we are living here!

People sleep at the airport mr man,what if your transfer flight is scheduled for 6am and you got to the airport by 3am??
I got to the international airport in Doha,Qatar by 4:15am,my next flight was scheduled for 6am,some was scheduled for 8am(a guy i meant on the plane travelling to London),what should they do during that period??
You just dont have sense at all!
