Sirika has explained that the relocation of operation to Kaduna would cost over N1.1 billion with Nigerian Railway Corporation, Federal Road Safety Commission, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, Nigerian Police Force and the Nigeria Immigration Service helping out.
While briefing the senate on the logistics implication of the relocation, the minister said that the relevant agencies that would be deployed to facilitate the relocation will be getting part of the funds to ease the relocation.
The Abuja Airport is expected to be closed for six weeks from March 8, 2016 though many senators who spoke still expressed displeasure with the closure of the airport while Julius Berger maintained the repairs could be done without total closure.
