The Minister of State for
Aviation Hadi Sirika, has said
that he will resign if the Abuja
International Airport is not
opened by April 19, 2017.
The minister made this known at a
meeting between the Ministry of
Information and an Aviation
Industry Pressure Group in Lagos.
The Minister said the level of work
on the Abuja runway in the past
three weeks shows that the re-
opening will be on schedule.
At the same meeting, the Minister
of Information, Lai Mohammed
debunked social media reports
saying the runway will be closed
for an extended 18 weeks.
The Federal Government had on
March 8, 2017 closed the Abuja
International Airport for six weeks,
to enable repair works on the
runway which is said to be
dysfunctional.
