The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says reconstruction works have commenced at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
In a travel advisory on Friday, FAAN urged passengers to
leave early for the airport to avoid missing their flights.
“To ensure a smooth travel experience, we kindly request
that passengers leave early for the airport to avoid missing flights, obey all
traffic instructions to aid traffic flow, park vehicles properly in designated
car park areas,” the authority said.
FAAN said that due to limited space, only those travelling
should visit the airport during the period of the reconstruction works.
“We appreciate your cooperation and understanding,” FAAN
added.
On August 1, the federal executive council (FEC) approved
contracts worth over N900 billion for infrastructure upgrades in the country’s
aviation sector.
Announcing the approval, Festus Keyamo, minister of
aviation, said the centrepiece of the approvals is the full rehabilitation,
upgrade, and modernisation of terminal one of the MMIA, Lagos.
He said the project would strip the terminal down to its
basic structure and rebuild all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Keyamo added that the total cost for the rehabilitation of
Lagos airport will come up to N712.25 billion, with a completion timeframe of
22 months.
