Abuja airport
Smarting from the Dana disaster, it appears nothing has changed and no lessons learnt. Here is a passenger’s experience just minutes ago:
Boarded Arik Flight W3 127 from Lagos to Abuja. The flight was supposed to depart Lagos 9:15am but it was delayed and we finally left quarter past 10.
I must say we had a smooth flight until we got to Abuja. The plane commenced descent but we later heard the captain that he couldn’t land in Abuja because the airport is closed due to VIP Movement.
Everyone on board was scared and we started asking ourselves why they would close the airport because of few VIPs while a passenger plane would be denied landing privilege.
My brother we were all scared after the captain’s announcement. We spent up to 25mins hovering before we finally landed.
Is it fair that after the Dana tragedy, to subject citizens to this sort of traumatic experience.
We thank God for His mercies!

PS: This of course is no fault of the airline but those we all call “rulers”
