Airport terminal to be ready in February, says minister
THE new multi-million-dollar terminal building at the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos will not be ready for use till February 2007.
The Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, disclosed this yesterday in Lagos, while addressing newsmen.
The new world class terminal, which has so far gulped about 200 million dollars, was earlier billed for inauguration this month.
Fani-Kayode, who inspected project at the airport, stated that the completion of the facility would end the problem of congestion associated with the present local terminal.
The minister said he was very impressed with the facility and that the aviation authorities would relocate two airlines currently operating local flights from the international airport to the new terminal.
Arik Air and Virgin Nigeria now operate local flights from the international airport, a development, which had continued to pitch other domestic operators against the aviation authorities.
