Abuja Airpot 96% Ready, Re- opens Next Week Wednesday

While inspecting the final lap of work on the
runway, Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi
Sirika, confirmed that the airport is 96% ready
and assured everyone that the airport will be
reopened on the 19th of April, 2017.
“This is runway 22 where the work terminates.
Remember work started from the other end
which is runway 04. You can see that we have
finished asphalting and we are at 96 percent
completion.
“The marking of the runway and lighting are
going on simultaneously. This is three to four
days work and we still have about eight days to
go. We are happy and we are on course.”
The minister also talked about a new technology
used for the runway which will not retain rain
water and another, where glass glide is put in
the process of constructing the runway to
reinforce it, to give it extra strength and prevent
cracks.
“This is the first time any Nigerian runway is
being treated with such material and that
material is a 50 tonner.” He said.
At the moment, all Abuja-bound traffic is
diverted to the recently upgraded Kaduna
International Airport (KIA).
A lot of activities have also resumed ahead of
next Wednesday reopening of the airport.
Kingsley Nwokoma, President, foreign airlines
association in Nigeria, said, “In a civilised
country, if they give you a date people will work
with that date. But since the minister has put
his job on the line, we are confident that flights
will start in Abuja after next week."

How to improve your feminine looks

Is there a secret to building a sexy female body? A lot of trainers would say no. A lot of trainers will say that you don’t need to differentiate between men and women when designing training programs. They’ll tell you that the physiological needs are nearly identical and only the hormones are different; thankfully, I’m not like most trainers. In fact, I disagree, and I believe that in a few specific ways, men and women need to train quite differently. Firstly, the idea that only the hormones are different is flawed, fundamentally. I’ve written about this a lot, so I don’t want to rehash, but the fact is that hormones change the game significantly. The hormonal differences between men and women account for more than 90% of the differences in the way men and women actually respond to training and nutrition.
