The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has revealed how he rejected an outrageous contract variation of N532 billion from the original sum of N90 billion for the 2nd runway of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Keyamo made the disclosure when he appeared before the Joint Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Aviation, stating that the Ministry has since revoked the contract to pave the way for fresh bidding.

According to Keyamo, the contractor had received N30 billion and joined the Federal Capital Territory Administration to compensate settlers on the affected land but left the site, demanding a contract variation that he described as “nothing but fraud”.
