Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said that the Federal Government chose Kaduna airport, instead of Minna Airport, as the alternative airport while the rehabilitation of runway of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja lasts, given the current conditions of roads in both states.
He said that the Kaduna-Abuja highway currently lent itself more to the kind of emergency intervention to restore it to usability within the short time assigned for the completion of the rehabilitation.
