The Nigerian Federal Government is set to install independent power supply system to address incessant power outages at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the nation’s Federal Capital, Abuja.
Minister of state for aviation, Hadi Sirika, told news men in Abuja today, Wednesday, that the approval was given at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja today.
The minister said that the approval followed the report of that the new terminal building at the airport, called Chinese building, has challenge of power, water and sewage.
“So we have to find a way of dealing with those challenges. We are putting up an independent power system at the airport which has been approved by FEC.
“Subsequently, we will also tend to the challenges of water, sewage, apron, connectivity between old and new airport and all the fire stations that are blocking the usage of the airport and perhaps also the control tower that is connecting the other side of the airport.
“All these will be attended to in phases in preparation to the fully utilization of the airport.”
