		The Lagos airport generates a chunk of the money used to keep going facilities at other airports in the country, but government would rather choose to use such money, for instance, to effect extensive rehabilitation of Yola airport for political expediency, despite the very low volume of traffic the airport plays host.
		Therefore, the international airports in Port Harcourt, Abuja and several local airports are left to the vagaries of extraneous interferences such as the cows that strayed onto the Port Harcourt runway.
		Owerri airport, for instance, neither has a befitting terminal building for the comfort of passengers nor airfield lighting, making it impossible for planes to fly into the airport at night.
