Minna could be called Babangida airport, as many operations ( apart from the Hajj ) are something to do with him. Consequently, it is a very quiet airport. The runway is good and long, but parking is limited. I last went there for his wife’s funeral ( Maryam ) and it was very congested, with planes holding for the approach. Had previously gone there to pick up the ex president Babangida and his wife. He was not able to travel to Europe for a long time, but sanctions were lifted after Abacha died.
