READ Federal Government To Open New Lagos International Airport
Two years ago, passenger traffic at the airport recorded a marginal growth of 6.6 percent, with no fewer than 7.3 million passengers using West Africa’s busiest airport.
Recall that President Buhari had assured Nigerians of his resolve to improve the infrastructure of the country.
The year 2019 saw over half a million new traffic compared to 2018 that had a total of 6.8 million passengers. Aircraft movement also rose by 5.2 percent, as 96,373 were recorded in 2019 compared to 91, 621 in 2018.
Experts say the marginal increase is an indication of overall growth in passenger traffic in both the local and international sections nationwide hence the need for the new terminal by Nigerian authorities.
An ardent supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Jack Obinyan has taken to the micro-blogging site, Twitter, to share more details of the new airport building.
Obinyan tweeted that the airport has:
1. A foreign affairs lounge
2. A brand new terminal
3. A transit hotel
4. An international standard car park.
