Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barr. Festus Keyamo said he has projected that an additional N81 billion will be needed to complete the second runway for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The minister stated this on Tuesday in Abuja at the ministry’s 2024 budget proposal to the joint committees of Aviation of the National Assembly.

The minister also proposed N63 billion 2024 budget for the entire ministry and its agencies.

The minister said that critical projects such as Abuja 2nd runway, and the upgrade and rehabilitation of the old terminal of Lagos airport were vital projects that need urgent attention.

He expressed the danger associated with having only one runway for a capital city like Abuja.

Speaking further, Keyamo appealed to the 10th Assembly joint committee for the procurement of consultancy for the design of a Master plan for major airports in Nigeria, stating the need to give more attention to the area of safety with the procurement of equipment.
