Hotels,
transportation companies and some other businesses in the Federal Capital
Territory are cutting down their workforce following the crash in the patronage
of their services as a result of the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja.
Operators
in the tourism and hospitality sector, transporters, as well as owners of small
scale firms like bureau de change, business centres and managers of
restaurants, said they had to trim their workforce pending when flight
operations would resume at the NAIA.
The
Federal Government officially shut the Abuja airport on Wednesday, March 8,
2016 in order to carry out repairs on its runway and taxiways. It diverted all
Abuja-bound flights to the Kaduna International Airport, as it declared that
the NAIA would remain closed to flight services for six weeks, starting from
last Wednesday.
