The rehabilitation of the new terminal building of the Kaduna Airport which will serve as alternative for both local and international passengers has begun.

This development follows the closure of the Abuja international airport for six weeks, starting from March 8, 2017.

The roads linking the Kaduna airport to the city are currently under construction.

On Thursday, the Minister of State for Aviation, Mr Hadi Sirika and Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, appeared before the Senate to explain the reason for the planned closure of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport and why Kaduna is the best alternative.

Sirika, insisted on the closure of the Abuja airport which was constructed in 1982 as the runway has exceeded its lifespan of 14 years.

The Senate is vehemently opposing the closure of the Airport, saying the diversion of flights to Kaduna will endanger lives of Nigerians.

Endanger their own lives they mean abi....since when did the lives of Nigerians matter to those wicked peeps seated high up in the Senate?

Another avenue to chop money.. They will spend 2B.. Call it 200B..

who get power pass senate or FG?

What is the senate's alternative on the matter

so senate no dey relevant in d game again

El Rufai and Buhari sef. These two guys only care about themselves (Fulanis). So people will have to ply the dangerous Kaduna - Abuja road just because El Rufai and Buhari says so. We shall see.

Over to you Buhari haters

on point ritababe , on point

ritababe:
the senate themself need rehabilitation.

The plan is to take money to Kaduna for payment to fulani herdsmen.. ... Senate can't stop that

Our airports be looking like camps

is that an airport or a public hospital??

There's only one arm of government in the current dispensation i.e. the executive arm. The other two arms have been cowed by the executive, so why won't Buhari-led executive go ahead with their plan?

A government that does not obey court orders can definitely not obey NASS orders. The only order that deaf man can hear and understand is the last order i.e. impeachment.

only one runway for the airport in a capital city? largest economy in Africa my foot!

I dont understand something.... if the bad runway causes accident, the senators will summon the ministers and the FG will be blame... and yet, the are against repair and closure of the airport......

Are they providing another alternative or they are against the repair...?

The same road that many Nigerians ply daily they are afraid of going through it because it's unsafe.Most of them are the reasons Nigeria is what it is today. Useless people that have become burden to the country.

Buhari the dectator
