Another project by the ministry, she added, was the purchase of six generators to ensure there was minimal disruption of electricity supply to the airports. She promised that airline operators on domestic flights would not be allowed to make use of the international wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, as from the end of May.
