Nigerian airport workers threaten walkout while capital's runway repaired

Nigerian airport employees may walk out over pay issues at the capital's temporary airport while the main airport's runway is being repaired, their trade union said on Saturday. The Abuja airport runway had deteriorated to such an extent that some major international airlines had refused to fly there, and some aircraft reported damage to their undercarriage. Nigeria's government has said airlines will be able to use the airport at the provincial city of Kaduna, 100 miles (160 km) north of Abuja
