Fashola gave the assurance at a World Press Conference, on the closure of Abuja International Airport for the runway rehabilitation at Obasanjo Hall, Federal Secretariat, Phase II, Bullet House, Abuja.
The Minister said though the contract for rehabilitation of Abuja-Kaduna road is on course, the Federal Government had to intervene with the emergency repairs of the road as a result of the closure of the Abuja International Airport runway which makes the Kaduna Airport an alternative.
