The Federal Government has approved N46 billion for the comprehensive rehabilitation of the primary and secondary runways at Kano International Airport, according to a statement from businessday.ng. The funding aims to improve infrastructure and enhance the airport’s capacity to handle increased air traffic.
The upgrade is part of broader efforts to modernize Nigeria’s aviation sector and support economic growth. The project will include the strengthening of runway surfaces, installation of new lighting systems, and improvements to navigational aids. These upgrades are expected to increase safety and efficiency for both domestic and international flights.
The decision follows a series of infrastructure development initiatives by the government to boost regional connectivity. While the focus on Kano aligns with efforts to improve transportation in northern Nigeria, the move also reflects a strategic push to attract more investment and tourism to the area.
The funding for the project comes amid ongoing discussions about the need for improved infrastructure to support Nigeria’s economic ambitions. (businessday.ng)
