“What remains is a part of the airfield lighting and the markings which are being done simultaneously,” he stated.

The minister, however, explained that the runway had some undulating surfaces earlier but had has been reduced significantly to near-even level.

He added that the camber for draining rain water had been improved upon to stop the runway from retaining water as was the situation before the rehabilitation.

“We’ve got about a week to the due date for opening so we are on schedule,” he assured.

Sirika debunked insinuation that the airport would be run for only 12 hours after reopening, assuring that it would not be shut after reopening on April 19.

The airport was for six weeks from March 8 for rehabilitation of its failed runway and air travel operations were diverted to Kaduna airport during the period.

Kaduna airport has been experiencing heavy traffic since then.
