Abuja- The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Monday, experienced normal flow of passengers at the domestic and international wings as Christmas holiday end, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, the Deputy General Manager, Corporate Communications Department, FAAN, told NAN that the airport experienced normal flow of passengers as some people were still on holiday.
She said the airport would experience heavy traffic flow during the weekend after the New Year celebration.
“I believe that passengers returning today are more of civil servants who returned to resume work.
“We hope to see more passengers after the New Year celebration, especially at the arrival wing.’’
