This BOT project is the largest of its kind in Africa, and subsequent phases upto to 2012 will include the construction of 2 other identical terminals with a total of 30 aviobridges.

Best keep your fingers crossed that the A/Cs never fail, let alone NEPA or stand-by generators. I still have memories of departing and arriving at hot and humid MMA Int terminal in the 80s and early 90s.

The building will be serviced by its own Independent Power Project (IPP) and will not be linked to PHCN (ex. NEPA) in any way.

When do you suppose it actually will open?

What about Aero?

I heard the original plans included a multi-story car park.

I can not imagine how Lagosians will cope with that !!

They seem to have problems grasping the concept of driving on the right from it's conception in the late 70s !

The main problem is thay just don't know what that hand-brake is for !
