The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo-led Federal Government, has formally announced the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, beginning from 12 a.m. on Wednesday.
The Airport will remain closed for the period of six weeks.
This was announced by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, at a World Press Conference, on Monday, in Abuja.
Sources have revealed that the closure of the Airport will contribute to the delay of the eventual return of the ailing President, Muhamamdu Buhari.
Also speaking, the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said observations made by Osinbajo, who was at the Kaduna Airport, on Friday, had been “taken care of”.
He added, that the government has set up a website: www.abujaairportclosure.info, through which information will be shared with Nigerians.
So far, only one international airline has agreed to use the Kaduna Airport, Sirika said.
