Airlines kick against Abuja Airport closure
Following the planned closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport from March 8, the Federal Government has concluded plans
to provide medical services facility on the Abuja-Kaduna express-way.
The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie
Ehanire, who disclosed this in Abuja, said the ministry has requested for funds
to enable it provide the centres with medication needed for
infrastructural upgrade.
Dr Ehanire, however, did not disclose what it would
cost the government to provide the intended services, while reiterating
that the ministry started working on the
programme about a year ago.
Meanwhile the
minister added that six health centres
have been identified for upgrade and full staffing to enable the facilities
provide 24-hour services at every 30-kilometre of the road.
