Coronavirus: FG to decontaminate 123 aircraft and 13 airports

Coronavirus lockdown: Nigerian govt extends closure of airports ...

The federal government has announced its plan to decontaminate 125
aircraft and 13 airports as part of measures to curb the spread of
Coronavirus.

Minister of Environment, Muhammad Mahmood disclosed this at the daily
briefing by members of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on
Wednesday April 29.

Though he noted that the decontamination exercise might be slow due
to the nature of the aviation industry, he however revealed that two
aircrafts have already been decontaminated.

Mahmood said;

“Aviation sector is such a specialized sector. We cannot rush things.
I did say that we have mapped out 125 aircraft and 13 airports.

“So far, we have decontaminated and disinfected two aircraft. Why we
are not rushing it is because of the nature of the industry.

“It is a place that when it comes to safety, everything must be
followed carefully, and even when we want to do that, we have to follow
their lead as to how and where to go while decontaminating the aircraft.

“For the airports, we need to be led on where we need to go, how and
when we need to also. The decontamination is ongoing because there are
other facilities that we are decontaminating across the country. So, we
will go as soon as they are ready for us.”
