The runway was closed for three months for repairs but cracks and potholes have reappeared leading to flight cancellations and delays. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured that the runway will be fixed and reopened soon but this recurring issue raises questions about the effectiveness of the rehabilitation work and the maintenance of the airport. It also highlights the need for proper planning and execution of infrastructure projects in the country.
