The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and stakeholders on the successful runway repairs and other rehabilitation work which led to the reopening of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
According to a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said that commendably, the Airport was reopened 24-hours ahead of schedule. This clearly shows the disposition of the President Buhari APC-led administration as one that promises and delivers.
The display of inter-agency cooperation between the Ministries of Transport, Power, Works and Housing, security agencies, the Kaduna State government as well as the contractor engaged for the runways repairs and other rehabilitation work is particularly laudable.
The party thanked travellers, airline operators and other stakeholders for the patience and understanding displayed while urgent runway repairs and other rehabilitation work were carried out during the six-week period.
The runway repairs of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja built in 1982 were necessary and will definitely improve aviation safety at the Airport.
“Following the six-week closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, the federal government diverted flights to the Kaduna Airport. Despite the inconveniences, there were many positives that came out of this decision.
“Particularly, recent upgrades of the Kaduna airport and rail and road networks connecting the airport with the country’s capital, Abuja has presented a fantastic and unique opportunity to expand business opportunities in Kaduna as well as position the state as a choice destination for local, national and international investors,” it stated.
The APC called on Nigerians to continue to support and cooperate with the President Muhammadu APC-led administration as it continues to implement projects to improve the country’s transport infrastructure. The federal government’s ongoing implementation of projects in the transport sector will impact positively on the economy.
