Abuja Airport runway upgrade to take 18 weeks longer than planned

The runway at Abuja airport will require another 18 weeks of upgrade repair works after completing the initial six-week project, according to All Africa.

However, the 18-weeks upgrade will be carried out at night, meaning normal flight operations will continue during the day.

Abuja airport will reopen for operations on April 19, after which upgrade works on the runway will continue for another 18 weeks.
