Senate Probes Against Concession of Airports

The Senate on Thursday passed legislation against the concession of Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano; Nnamdidi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; and other international Airports across the country.

The Senate made this known after passing a motion by Sumaila Kawu.

They condemned in strong terms the concessions of Aminu Kano Airport, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, and other airports that were conceded in the same way as they were not conceded in public interest.

They agreed that the committee on Aviation when constituted should investigate the ministry and agencies concerned to report back to the Senate.

The senate urged the federal government to review the entire exercise and give a level playing field to all stakeholders.
