The Niger State Governor in north central Nigeria, Mohammed Bago, has assessed the recently reconstructed Minna Airport Runway
He expressed his disappointment with the quality of the recently reconstructed runway at Minna Airport
The Governor characterized the work as subpar, “The contractor failed to meet the specified standards outlined in the contract, despite the funds received for the project.”
He sternly instructed the contractor to promptly return to the site and rectify the runway to meet the agreed-upon standards. This directive comes as the State prepares to welcome guests for the upcoming Green Economy Summit scheduled for October 24th and 25th, 2023.
Governor Bago was joined by his Deputy, Comrade Yakubu Garba, the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Kabir Yusuf Muhammad, the Chairman of the House Committee on Aviation, Abdullahi Idris Garba and several members of the State Executive Council.
The runway project is a federal government initiative awarded during the previous administration.
During one of the Governor’s inspection visits, the contractor had assured that they would deliver work of the highest standard by mid-August 2023.
