Aviation Nigeria
The Jigawa Government announced during the week that Muslim pilgrims from the state for the 2013 hajj in Saudi Arabia would be transported from the state’s multi-million Naira airport being constructed in Dutse.
Gov. Sule Lamido said this in Dutse while inspecting the project along with members of the State Executive Council and other top government functionaries.
He said in spite of criticisms by some members of the opposition, the airport would boost economic activities in the state.
Lamido said apart from this, the airport would also attract new investors to the state.
The airport is scheduled to be completed before the official beginning of hajj operations. (NAN)
