The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja has been temporarily
closed by officials of the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority,
NAMA, following the breakdown of a Saudi Arabian Boeing 747 cargo
plane on the runway of the airport last night. The airport authorities
say the plane, which veered after landing at the airport, has to be
fixed before it can be evacuated from the runway.
This closure has adversely affected all flights that are Abuja bound as
well as those that were billed to travel to other parts of the country.
Many Abuja bound passengers are now stranded. Pic above shows
