Nigeria Considers Canceling Abuja Airport Second Runway Contract Amid Alleged Fraudulent Cost Increase

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has described the proposed variation as “outright fraud.” As a result, the government may cancel the existing contract and initiate a new bidding process.
