FG Set To Decongest Abuja Airport

The Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika said it would soon put in place security equipment at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, that would enable some airlines operate from there, without hampering on-going airport remodelling. He said the exercise is aimed at reducing traffic at the international wing of the airport, with the intention to make surveillance easier.

Sirika made the disclosure when he received a delegation from the British High Commission, led by the Head of Aviation Security, Jankies Milies in his office. He stated that his ministry was trying hard to establish aviation security system that is world class, with the ability to work with arms, sniffer dogs, modern surveillance equipment and intelligence gathering.

He disclosed that the ministry was also working towards improving the physical security of the nation’s aerodromes, just as he commended the efforts of the British government, through the High Commission in Abuja, in conducting and assessing the security situation in the nation’s airports with the aim of determining areas of possible cooperation.

He told the delegation that the ministry had recently set up a committee for a similar purpose and currently studying its report and recommendations for implementation. He called for greater cooperation between the two countries especially in the area of capacity enhancement in modern aviation security trends.
