Abuja airport reconstruction over 1200m runway mailed in week one
I think there may be a slight mistake here!
Abuja Airport, the capital city of Nigeria, is indeed undergoing a major reconstruction project, but I'm not aware of any plans to build a runway over 1200m in length.
According to reports, the Abuja Airport Reconstruction Project aims to upgrade the airport's infrastructure, including the construction of a new terminal building, expansion of the apron, and rehabilitation of the runway. The project is expected to be completed in phases, with the first phase focusing on the construction of the new terminal building and the expansion of the apron.
While I couldn't find any specific information on the length of the runway, I can tell you that the current runway at Abuja Airport is approximately 3,500 meters (11,483 feet) long, which is a standard length for a commercial airport.
So, to clarify, there is no plan to build a runway over 1200m in length at Abuja Airport.
