We all know that the national economy is not stable yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Starting another more considerable protest next will be disastrous for our dear country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Mrs Margret Madueke, who was waiting for her scheduled flight from Abuja to Kano, said, \u201cThe airport is not a good place for protest or any violent practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Here is a busy environment. You can see many things in motion. Safety with security of people and properties should be paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mr Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Federal Airport Authority Authority (FAAN) said that the situation in the airport is now normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is normalcy at the airport right now.
