Nigeria’s former Minister of Aviation Fidelia Njeze had originally proposed spending N90bn on constructing new airports, but because of the time it would take to build a new one, the present administration would focus on remodelling 12 facilities.

Uriesi said that funds were available and that the project would start soon.
