The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has revealed that it requires a sum of N580bn for the rehabilitation of airports’ runways across the country.
The Managing Director of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku, lamented the state of the runway in the country on Wednesday while receiving the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Ibrahim Kana.
Kuku stated that airports’ runways which were built in the late 70s have outlived their lifespan.
She added that aside from the runways, other airports’ infrastructures such as terminals also needed major rehabilitation which has been affecting operational efficiency and safety.
The FAAN boss, however, promised to modernize the airports’ infrastructure by renovating terminals, expanding runways, and upgrading navigational aids.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Ibrahim Kana also promised the ministry’s continuous support for the FAAN, for its management to sustain the momentum of development.
