The Minister of State
for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has declared that he would resign if the
repair of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) runway was not completed
in six weeks as planned.
He spoke alongside
Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Monday who accused some people
of spreading misinformation about the repair.
The duo spoke this
afternoon at a special session of Aviation Round Table, (ART) held in Lagos,
adding that it was not true the work has been extended.
Sirika said he could
not take a decision affecting the lives of over 150 million Nigerians and
choose to disappoint them at the end of the day.
It will be recalled
that the Federal Government had shut down the Abuja airport with effect from
March 7 while Abuja bound traffic was diverted to Kaduna International Airport.
