FG To Continue Airport Remodelling Despite Concession Plans by alfanio(m): 7:40am On Oct 07, 2017 |
Indications have emerged that the Federal
Government’s plan to upgrade all the 22
airport terminals in the country will not be
affected by the proposed concession of some
of the airports.
Our correspondent had reported that with
the failure of the airports remodelling project
of the former administration, the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration had said
it would replicate the repairs of the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and the
facelift of the terminal of the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, in
all airport terminals across the country.
It was gathered that upon the completion of
work in Lagos and Abuja, the Port Harcourt
International and Akanu Ibiam International
Airport terminals’ facelift would to be the
next in line until all the 22 airports across the
country were upgraded.
The General Manager , Corporate Affairs ,
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria , Mrs.
Henrietta Yakubu, told our correspondent on
Friday that there would not be any change in
plans despite the approval by the Federal
Government to give out all the international
airports in the country to private investors as
concession.
Yakubu said , “ The concession is not an
immediate thing ; so, while it is ongoing ,
FAAN will still go on with its statutory
functions. All our remodelling plans are still
in place ; we are not stopping because
airports are going to be given out as
concession.
“ Construction work is still ongoing at the
four terminals that we were working on
before the concession approval and
everything will continue normally. The
remodelling of these major ones will continue
without any disruption . The other airports
will be taken care of when the concession has
taken place .”
Yakubu stated that areas expected to be fixed
at the airports were the chillers, travellators
and escalators, conveyor belts currently out
of use , check-in counters and toilets, among
others , adding that work had already
commenced at the terminal of Akanu Ibiam
International Airport, Enugu , while two
terminals were being constructed at the Port
Harcourt airport, one by the immediate past
government and another one to cater to the
needs of passengers presently being attended
to under a tent . |
