The construction work at the second runway of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja is set to take off as the federal government has agreed
This was revealed after a meeting between the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and the Federal Capital Development Authority held in Abuja on Tuesday.
Spokesperson of the ministry, Odutayo Oluseyi said arising from a resolution, issued at the end of the meeting, Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo said “The second runway ought to have been commissioned by now, sometime in June or July 2023 but we have not mobilised yet to the site because of unresolved issues of compensation”.
He stated that the issues around compensation by law does not concern the Ministry of Aviation and that the humongous demand by the communities is not achievable and would set a bad precedent. He however expressed optimism of quick completion of the project since a resolution has been reached by all parties.
