Airport in Nigeria to close for repairs over 'unsafe' runway
Nigerian Minister Hadi Sirika has said the airport in Abuja, the capital, will close for six weeks as its "unsafe" runway will be undergoing repairs. He said the structure of the runway, constructed in 1982 with a 20-year lifespan, had "failed." Flights will be diverted to another airport, with security for shuttle buses travelling on a highway that's witnessed kidnappings.
