A former Assistant Secretary General, Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), Alhaji Mohammed Tukur, has supported the ranking of two Nigerian airports namely, Port Harcourt and Kano among the 10 worst airports in Africa. Tukur made this known in a chat with Sunday Vanguard in Lagos, stressing that the decay in the affected airports had been identified many years back by stakeholders and airline operators, but those in authority refused to listen and take appropriate action to restructure the airports. According to him, “The situation has a telling effect on local airline operators, but now it has become a national issue because of the ranking by the international body. We started complaining seriously about the situation of these airports from the time of the former aviation minister, Mrs, Stella Oduah, but government did not take practical steps to put them in order. We travel out of this country every time and we see what airports in other countries look like. So, this is the time for government to do the needful in order to put them in proper shape.”
