Two weeks to the opening of the Abuja airport runway to traffic, the Minister of State, Aviation Sen. Sirika Hadi Sirika, has said the runway is 75 percent completed. He stated this after routine inspection of ongoing total resurfacing of the runway after its total failure.<\/p>\n

The Minister said “I am happy to announce we are at 75 percent completion of Abuja airport rehabilitation. The programme of work is running as outlined” he said.
