Nigerian capital's airport shuts down for 6 weeks
Nigeria has closed capital Abuja's Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, the second busiest airport in the country, for six weeks to repair potholes on the 35-year-old runway that has damaged planes' landing gear. During the closure, flights that normally use the Abuja facility will be re-routed to the Kaduna airport. It is feared that this will worsen Nigeria's ongoing recession.
