The decision of the Minister is coming hours after the United Nigeria Airlines flight destined for Abuja landed in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

It was gathered that the flight, which left the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos en route to Abuja on Sunday, landed at Asaba International Airport in Delta State.
