PBA ReporterThe Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has approved the commencement of the State’s International Cargo and Passenger Airport for commercial operations with effect from 2nd December 2021.
This was contained in a statement signed by Captain Musa Nuhu, Director General, and obtained by Prime Business Africa.
The aviation authority said it has received security clearance from relevant security agencies for the opening.
The statement read in part: “It said that the negative security clearance was the reason the authority had declined approval for the opening of the airport on the 30th of October 2021, when the state government had scheduled the commissioning.
