N60bn Abuja airport runway may suffer hiccup

The second runway at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport may suffer some delay due to delay in passing the 2018 budget, New Telegraph has learnt.

The project it was learnt, is estimated to cost over N60 billion. Aside that, it was also learnt that the project has just over N15 billion as budgetary allocation, which is a paltry sum for a project of such magnitude.

In the 2017 budget, N10billion was voted for the project and in 2018, N8billion was been proposed. But the over N60 billion proposed for the project is causing ripples in the sector.
