The Federal Government of
Nigeria has finally closed the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja for
much maintenance and repairs. Hopefully, it will be reopened on April 19th.
Although quite a number of Nigerians and foreigners have expressed reservations
about the closure, the safety of passengers should be the ultimate concern.
Hence, the Federal Government has no choice than to shut down the airport.
Expectedly, the FG has made arrangements to ferry passengers to Abuja. So, if you have anything to do in Abuja,
Jumia Travel, the leading online booking agency shares ways to deal with the
closure of Abuja airport.
Let
your mind be at rest
The main concern of
travelers and tourists about Kaduna is security due to recent events in the
city. However, the Federal Government has assured passengers that they don’t
need to worry about their security. The distance from Kaduna Airport to Abuja
Airport by road according to Google map is 242.6 km (3h9m). Different security
apparatus will be on the way all through your trip. So, let your mind be at
rest and believe that nothing will happen. Kaduna has always been a safe and
secure city.
Reduce
your luggage
If you are traveling to
Abuja for now, you should reduce the amount of luggage you carry. The stress of
getting your luggage at Kaduna airport, then loading them into the bus coupled
with the 3-hour travel can be unbearable. To cope with this, you should only
carry essential items. Doing this will stop you from paying anyone to carry
your luggage.
Make
your own transport arrangement
You can also make your
travel arrangement from Kaduna to Abuja. It is not compulsory to go with the
buses provided by the government. So, if you have a friend who is familiar with
the Kaduna to Abuja route, put a call through to him to pick you up at the
Kaduna airport.
Travel
by road
Some travelers may not be
too disposed to fly to Kaduna en route Abuja. Then, your best option is to
travel straight to Abuja via road. It is even cheaper to travel via road than
flying. But, safety is always a major worry.
Avoid
evening travel
You won’t like to be on
the Kaduna road in the evening or wee hours of the night traveling to Abuja.
Even if you get to Kaduna airport in the evening, delay your travel until the
next day and spend that evening in a hotel.
Book
a hotel close to Abuja Airport
You should book a hotel
close to the airport to reduce the stress of arriving at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
Airport and then you start another journey to your hotel. If you don’t know
which hotel to book, Jumia Travel can conveniently help you search for hotels
near Abuja airport.
