Hadi Sirika, minister of state for aviation, witnessed the landing.
According to officials of the Kaduna state government, the pilot of the aircraft certified the airport landing system to be “A1 excellent”.
Flights would be diverted to Kaduna as a result of the closure of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, over repairs of its runway.
