Abuja Plane’s Runway Blockage: Keyamo Apologises Over Nationwide Flight Disruptions
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN, has apologised to Nigerians for the flight disruptions at the Abuja airport which affected other flight operations throughout the country, on Sunday.
In a post on Sunday on his X handle, the minister said nationwide flight disruptions were due to an incident at the Abuja runway involving an aircraft which made it impossible for other aircrafts to land for some time.
According to him, “this underscores the urgent need for the Abuja second runway,” adding: “My first task when I came to office as Aviation Minister was to secure the land from the indigenes. Just two weeks ago, the contractors have moved to site to begin construction of the Abuja second runway.”
