Proposed abuja airport runway to gulp n5 86billion

According to reports, the Federal Government of Nigeria has proposed a budget of N86 billion for the construction of a new runway at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) in Abuja.

The proposed budget is part of the 2023 budget proposal submitted by the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, to the National Assembly. The project is aimed at upgrading the airport's infrastructure to meet international standards and increase its capacity to handle more passengers and aircraft.

The new runway is expected to be 4,000 meters long and 60 meters wide, with a Category III Instrument Landing System (ILS) to enable safe landing of aircraft in low-visibility conditions. The project also includes the construction of a new taxiway, apron, and other associated facilities.

The N86 billion budget for the project is expected to be funded through a combination of government funding and private sector investment. The project is expected to be completed within a period of 36 months.

It's worth noting that the NAIA is one of the busiest airports in West Africa, and the construction of a new runway is expected to improve the airport's efficiency and reduce congestion. The project is also expected to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the region.
