Osinbajo arrived Kaduna in the company of the honorable minister for information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and also the minister for transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi.

As at the time of filing this report, Omojuwa.Com has it on good authority that the acting president is currently holding a meeting with community leaders and representatives of the JNI and CAN which bothers on the security of Kaduna state with regards to recent unfortunate attacks in Southern Kaduna.

The Abuja airport will be shut for six weeks to enable engineers work on the repair of the expired runway.

The Nigerian Police has however promised to provide adequate security to cover travelers who will be plying the Kaduna-Abuja road as a result of the closed airport.

All flights within the six weeks period of the Abuja airport closure will be directed to the Kaduna airport.
