Airports at Kano, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Maiduguri, Lagos and Abuja had been reopened for flight operations.

Mr Sirika, at the Daily Briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, on Thursday in Abuja, said the airports at Calabar, Sokoto, Katsina and Kebbi were all ready for inspection on July 17.

Speaking on the pressure to open airports, the aviation minister said the ministry of aviation, as the regulatory body, reserves the right to withdraw or reopen the operations at any airport, depending on the level of required protocols met. He, however, decried the level of violation of the COVID-19 protocols at the airports by some people.

Also, the PTF Chairman, Boss Mustapha, frowned at the violation of COVID-19 protocols at the airports by some VIPs and warned against such actions.
