FAAN, UBA Partner In Lagos Airport Terminal Renovation

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has, in partnership with the United Bank for Africa,  refurbished the E-wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

The airport authority also received four long CNG-powered buses to improve passengers’ mobility within the airport premises.

 Managing Director of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku, disclosed that the development was to enhance the overall passenger experience at the airport.

Kuku also assured aviation stakeholders of the organisation’s continued focus on improving facilities and services at the aerodrome.

While announcing the agency’s plans for additional investments in cooling systems, equipment upgrades and modernising infrastructure in 2025, she expressed dedication to ensuring that Nigerians take pride in their airport facilities.

The FAAN boss said, ‘‘You can see that we expanded our facilities for the future; hence the use of terminal 2. In addition, we are using terminal D right now and we are moving passengers in here so that we can potentially decongest.

“We are looking at our arrival time and slotting. That way, we are making effective use of the capacity of the terminal as well as the timing of flights arriving and landing”.

The Managing Director disclosed that the renovation is part of the larger initiative endorsed by the agency to revamp the country’s airports in collaboration with private sector partners, despite limited resources.

The FAAN boss also commended the partnership between the agency and the concessionaires which has worked alongside the United Bank for Africa on the project.
