At least another two airports were yesterday certified ready and opened to commercial flights services after three months of COVID-19 lockdown.
The facilities, Margaret Ekpo Airport, Calabar and Yola Airport, Adamawa State, reopened, although amid general traveller apathy since local flight services resumed a fortnight ago.
Among the airports are: Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos; Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo; the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano; Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, Rivers State; Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri and the Maiduguri Airport.
Sirika said: “Unfortunately, we are living in a country where everything is polarised and trivialised. I remember receiving lots of questions regarding why we did not open at least one airport in each geo-political zone, amid pressure to open Owerri. Sirika said notwithstanding the COVID-19 demands, the government and airport management were at liberty to open or close airports as the situation makes imperative.
