Our biased press are busy discussing Alamiesegha, meanwhile,
many many good things are happening around the country.

Shame on Punch, Premiumtimes, Nation and Sahara Reporters.

Yeah, she is definitely justifying the allocations given to her ministry. I have to say that the Kano airport interior is the BEST so far, of the remodelled airport terminals.

credit where it is due but does not change the negative believe I have in GEJ's leadership.

Also how many conveyor belts does this airport have?

Fantastic achievement and a very respectable upgrade of the nation's first international airport.

Kudos to the GEJ administration.

Thing we dem go bomb

Im impressed,the last time i was there in dec 2006,it looked more like a big,empty town hall.

Akanu Ibiam airport need to be demolished,it should not be called an airport,it should be rebuilt.

Wait till you see the remodelled Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos.

Why is the CBN governor wrapping himself in bed sheet in that hot climate? SMH at Africans and their archaic way of dressing to a formal occasion. The arabs that wrap themselves in that kind of bed sheet do so because of the sand storm emanating from their desert climate.

Here are some remarks made by FAAN MD, Mr George Uriesi on the occasion:


In his address at the event, Mr George Uriesi, Managing Director of FAAN, said the remodelled international terminal was a huge improvement on the old terminal with regard to ambience, facilities and seating capacity.

According to him, “The entire cooling system in the terminal was replaced with a new one, to ensure effective cooling at all times, especially at peak periods while a walkway was provided on the airside, to protect passengers from the elements since the terminal does not have avio bridges. This is aside from the installation of new conveyor belts, check-in counters, immigration counters, toilets, offices, shops and other related facilities.”

Uriesi said by upgrading the facilities in the airport the Federal Government had thrown a challenge to all stakeholders to turn Kano State and other surrounding states into industrial and economic havens in line with the aerotropolis concept that had turned airports all over the world to meeting points of economic development.

The guest of honour at the ceremony, Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, while commissioning the remodelled terminal, lauded President Goodluck Jonathan and the Aviation Minister for the remodelled airports.

Sanusi, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said, “CBN supports public officers that are doing something. There is no one that can go to Kano airport or Kaduna airport or Benin airport or Abuja airport and tell you that something is not happening.”

He, however, charged the ministry to imbibe a maintenance culture to preserve the standard of the airport.

Lai ila-hu, ila la !!! Mohammadu is the Prophet of Allah!

I hope the same standard is maintained in the other airports being remodeled oh!
Naija go survive !

This is slightly out of point, but I guess these are new pics of the new MMIA International terminal (last 4 pics).

To be fair, the Akanu Ibiam airport in Enugu is undergoing a similar remodelling exercise. In fact, a new international terminal is being constructed too.

I didn't take pictures because I don't want junk on my I-phone. Next time, I'll take a lot of pictures of places in nigeria and will post them on NL to shame all liars. Very soon!
