The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja has been temporarily closed by officials
of the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority, NAMA, following the
breakdown of a Saudi Arabian Boeing 747 cargo plane
on the runway of the airport last night. The airport authorities say the plane, which veered after landing at the airport, has to be fixed before it can be evacuated from the runway.
This closure has adversely affected all flights that are Abuja
bound as well as those that were billed to travel to other parts of the
country. Many Abuja bound passengers are now
stranded. Pic above shows passengers stranded at the airport in Abuja this morning.

First to comment yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I am not suprised. In Nigeria, anything can happen. click here joor
This Abuja airport looks like Oshodi Market...can't they tow the plane to a hangar to fix???
Airport no get towing craft? They should just drag the plane awy from the road naa or which kind naija be ths sef?
sad news!!
Can't they tow it off the runway? Na wa for this yeye country.
This story can't be true cuz if d aircraft is in d middle of d runway. A pushback can be used to remove it. And besides the ve alternative runways. Linda please always confirm ur gist
Thank God it was only a breakdown,and not a crash.
Oluku,it's a boeing 747,not an aircraft or a falcon jet.
Very annoying and crazy
Dey shuld make use of a towing craft nah... Or make dem drag am commot!
This is another shameful story that Nigeria lets outside world to peer into. So the aircraft broke down on the runway, now, all flights into the airports have been cancelled? Why couldn't they invest in a tow tug? Dont the airline have a maintenance facility at the airport or hire a maintenance facility at the airport to tow the aircraft and do the maintenance service? Now, this could be a case of the airport and lack of maintenance services at the airport not having a tow tug to tow a monster size aircraft like the B747 or the experience/trained personnel to tow the aircraft. SMH for the Nigerian Aviation and some of the shameful stories they allow to air.

Does dat mean we only have 1 runway ni? #thinking#
Okay! At least it is not a Nigerian plane!
we were enroute from London to Abuja this morning when the pilot suddenly announced that we are going to Lagos instead. After landing in Lagos, we sat in the plane for 4 hours before they put the passengers in a hotel. the bad part about the situation is that they did not allow anyone get their luggage...and to matters worse, we were made to check in our hand luggage at Heathrow at the last minute. So we dont even have a change of clothes or personal effects. God is in charge..hope this stuff gets resolved asap. #everythinghappensforareason
Really? Can't they just tow it?
Go on google earth and get an aerial view of the nnamdi azikwe airport. If there's only one runway, then, that could be the reason why. Its sad!!!
Yup, it means we have one (1) runway. Both international and domestic flight use both runways and obviously the airport is rated to land a jumbo size aircraft such as the 747 which is a monster. Very strange Nigerian govt. Not too bright people I see.
Yeye country the aviation minister bought two bullet proof car for 1.6million dollars, but she cannot buy tow truck for Abuja airport. I guess Abuja airport doesn't have a maintenance hanger. Nigeria politician are the most incompetent people in the world. No money for maintenance hanger in the Abuja, but plenty Money for bullet proof car for stupid thief Stella.
There are stories I read that just make me laugh..
A bra that prevents stress-related overeating
If only you guys know the true story behind what happened in abj airport last night....hmmmm....
Aviation minister stella oduah set it up so she won't have 2 attend d senate comittee hearing on her matter 2day and now they've postponed it again
This has caused my family to miss my graduation scheduled for tomorrow. How painful! I have no words for a country that has only one runway in an international airport
She is not relevant anyway
Na wa
God help naija
Na wa
My friend lost her dad cs of ds closure wen he decided to board to bus to kogi and all d passengers lost deir lives including him
