NAHCON disclosed this in a statement issued by its Assistant Director, Information and Publication, Hajiya Fatima Usara, in Madina on Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Vice-President Kashim Shettima declared the inaugural flight open on May 9, in Owerri, Imo.
”However, deliberate minor delays were arranged to allow for the proper clean-up and decongestion of hotels in Madinah, especially with the surge in arrivals.”
