New Lagos, Kano, Enugu airport terminals for inauguration Wednesday – FAAN

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has said the new international terminals in Lagos, Kano and Enugu will be ready for inauguration latest Wednesday, January 20, 2021.

Managing Director of FAAN, Captain Rabiu Yadudu, disclosed this during an interview, even as he hinted of plans to transform the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, into a hub as part of strategies to make the airport operate efficiently.

He stressed the need to link the old and new terminals as well as the international and domestic terminals to improve transition around the airport.

Yadudu said, “That is an important consideration for us. To have a hub to operate it efficiently, you need this connectivity. We already have a committee to have this; and part of the success of that committee is that we have a linkage between the old and the new terminals, it was completed last week. It is not commissioned because the terminal itself is not yet commissioned.

“We have a proper linkage now between the old and the new buildings and talking about connectivity between the international and domestic terminals, we are working with government. We have designs for the most suitable ways to achieve the connectivity, buses and even a light rail proposals; but right now, we are at the development and planning stage.”
