FG Plans 10,000 Capacity Multi-level Car Park At MMIA 


The Federal Government has concluded plans to build an automated multi-level car park at the international terminal of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos. Construction is expected to start in the second quarter of this year and would be completed before the end of 2014.

The proposed multi-level car park will have computerised system that can document entry and exit of vehicles, notify users of absence of parking spaces, vacant spaces as well as floors where those spaces are located.

THISDAY also gathered that the computerised system would profile cars, scrutinise their nooks and crannies to ensure that they do not bring in prohibited substances like bombs and other dangerous materials.

The car park, it was also learnt would be linked to the terminal to protect users from rain and sunshine. Also, X-ray and other screening machines would be installed at the exit points to ensure thorough security checks.
General Manager, Corporate Communications, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Yakubu Dati, said that the car park, when completed, would ease vehicular movements and security checks.

Dati explained that traffic congestion at peak hours at the airport was due to the narrowness of the road, adding that the situation was usually worsened by vehicles that were stationed for hours at the airport terminal, waiting to pick Very Important Persons (VIPs).

“The car park will be automated. The plan is that it will create more spaces to expand network. The project will start second quarter of this year. So we want to sanitise the present car park by moving people out of the place, clear the thoroughfare and create alternative place for temporary car park”, the spokesperson said.

4th. Dats nice. I wish they will construct it

Is the road to the aiport fixed yet? That road is an eyesore.

This would be a suicide bomber's dream target!

Giving honour to whom it is due, this is a good initiative. Hope it will actually be constructed. We don't want to hear that one director somewhere don 'chop' d money o!

We are marching forward. We really need more captical expenditure in our budgets like this.

Good development if implemented.

Its better late than never ,since 2007 . I hope is not one of those empty prosises ,

Good one.

Just another way to eat government funds

She hunted me like a ghost, I certainly can thread in peace while she rests in peace.

What of the car pack at the MMA2 that is still under used? The fourth floor is mostly completely empty. Why waste money in building another one?

Governments plan for the future. We are about experiencing economic growth as soon as electricity stabilizes.

Wen the current one hardly gets filled up


#.. Chop Chop funds tinzz

No need for headache when it comes to federal government work. I believe in Gej he will deliver. My headache is the state and Local government level.

The major problem is how traffic is coordinated at MMIA. Massive reconstruction of the roads, with flyovers and better traffic flow is needed. Traffic there in December to early January is a disaster.

We should be thinking of how to concession out our international airports, instead of wasting public funds on a new car park!

When last did you use that airport my brother.

I don't get it. Does MMIA have a carpark or not. Because what I see is an open space looking like a market at best or a car mart perpetually filled with cars.

This government has got its priorities screwed up.

What about the little things that are not working?? like the baggage belts

and escalators and the aircons?? this are things that should be fixed. Instead


your talking about car pack??

Baggage belts won't work in Nigeria. They are not for our travelling culture. Can't and won't ever last.

my mind was on NAIA, MMIA needs a proper car park but I don't believe that should be built with public fund, concessioning is the way out!

Well, concession works but Government dont have time to waste anymore, this administration should be commended for moving faster than Yaradua's administration and being the best since Lord Lugard.
