Rwanda’s Cabinet has passed additional funds for the development of Bugesera International Airport on the outskirts of Kigali, signalling intent to pursue project partly funded by Qatar.
The ministers approved an investment kitty of Rwf699 billion ($499 million) in the 2025/26 budget to go to the project, which is expected to gobble up some $2 billion by completion, whose deadline was extended to 2028 from 2026, due to delays in delivery of construction materials.
