The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has
inaugurated a newly built domestic cargo terminal at the General Aviation
Terminal, GAT, in Lagos.
The project, spearheaded by the Minister of Aviation and
Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, falls under the purview of the
Directorate of Cargo Development and Services, led by Mr Lekan Thomas. It is
designed to enhance Nigeria’s export capacity and strengthen the country’s
cargo infrastructure.
In an official statement, FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs
and Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah, highlighted that the terminal is
set to improve the efficiency, scalability, and connectivity of cargo handling
operations.
Orah further noted that the facility comes at a crucial
time, as the surge in e-commerce and agricultural exports demands a more
reliable and secure logistics framework—one that reduces delays and provides
vital support to businesses across the country.
She stated: “It also positions Lagos as a central cargo hub,
which is expected to attract more national and international freight operators.
FAAN plans to replicate this model across other states, including Abuja, Kano,
Jos, Niger, and Port Harcourt, expanding access to modern cargo processing
across the country. This effort aligns with FAAN’s strategic roadmap to
decentralise and optimise cargo movement.”
