The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has unveiled the newly refurbished E Wing Departure terminal alongside the introduction of four environmentally friendly CNG-powered air-conditioned buses to improve passenger mobility at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
During the official commissioning ceremony held at the terminal recently, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, commended FAAN for its commitment to delivering exceptional service to Nigerian travellers.
The Minister praised the collaborative effort between FAAN and the United Bank for Africa, highlighting this project as part of a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing passenger comfort and entertainment within airport terminals. Mr Keyamo also lauded FAAN’s decision to procure energy-efficient buses, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s goal of promoting sustainable practices and reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, the Managing Director of FAAN, assured aviation stakeholders of the organisation’s continued focus on improving facilities and services at airports. She announced plans for additional investments in cooling systems, equipment upgrades, and modernising infrastructure by 2025, underscoring FAAN’s dedication to ensuring that Nigerians take pride in their airport facilities. Through these ongoing efforts, FAAN aims to create a positive and enjoyable airport experience for all passengers and stakeholders.
