In line with its drive to provide premium services to its passengers, British Airways, has announced the relocation of its terminal to the new Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The change took effect on 30th April 2019.

The move comes after the opening of the new Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, a result of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria’s (FAAN) goal to create an ultra-modern facility which would ensure efficient processing of passengers and improve the experience for travellers flying through Abuja. Both airlines and passengers will experience a vast difference in both space and processing technology for passengers. British Airways new terminal relocation is in line with global efforts to ensure seamless, safe, and convenient travel for passengers.

Speaking on the move, British Airways Regional Commercial Manager for West Africa, Mr. Kola Olayinka said, “British Airways is pleased about the new Abuja International Terminal, we embrace any opportunity to improve our services to passengers. Our newly upgraded lounge and terminal will ensure a seamless travel experience for our passengers. We’re excited to share these new developments with our Abuja passengers.”

This is opportunistic and clever Britain.

They are always first to steal opportunity.

The Chinese who built our railways have not even made such move.

The federal government should have diverted the funds to solving the epileptic power supply in Nigeria.

I think it is just a waste of funds spending scarce resources to providing Abuja new airport terminal.

A facilities that will serve the pleasure of the elites in Nigeria.

How many poor people uses flights in Nigeria today?

It is just to serve the comfort zone of our northern political elites who do not believe in developing regional infrastructures but prefer spending all Nigeria 's money in Abuja just to promote the fake "One Nigeria" Gowon sermon.

I think late major general David Ejoor was a waste and useless man if the Nigeria of today is what he wasted his military years fighting in the Nigeria civil war to protect.

Nigeria is not worth being a United country.

The north that is not contributing anything to the national treasury is the people that are arrogantly spending the money to suit their selfish desires.

They can also move into Ikeja Bus Terminal

Since Ambode commissioned it, even a snail hasn't taken off from there.

Just another scam from the All Promises Cancelled, APC thieves and corrupt rogues.
Up till now the cost is unknown and the bus stop is rotting away after plenty effizy noise over its commissioning by Buhari who denied Lagos the opportunity of having a metro line since 1984.
Buhari is a mistake of a leader looter.

BudgIT charges Lagos State Government to Comply with FOI Act, demands the cost of the Ikeja Bus Terminal.

udgIT Nigeria, a civic tech organisation, working on fiscal transparency demands the Lagos State Government respond to its numerous letters supported by the Freedom of Information Act. Following the judgement on the Ondo State Appeal Court by Hon. Justice Ridwan Maiwada Abdullahi, JCA which compels state governments to respect the Freedom of Information Act 2011, BudgIT sent a Freedom of Information requests for details of the Ikeja Bus Terminal and Details of the Contracts Awarded by the Lagos State Government between May 2015 to May 2018 to the Honourable Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure for Lagos state, Mr Ade Akinsanya on May 3rd, 2018 asking for the details of the cost for the public projects execution of the Ikeja Bus Terminal.

The Court of Appeal, Akure Division on March 27, 2018, ruled that the requests for public information under the Freedom of Information Act, are made in public interest and should be honoured by all states in Nigeria. The bus terminal which was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari on March 29, 2018, was stated to be a world-class infrastructure that will cater to 4 million Lagosians per day. BudgIT understands the project is now completed and demands that the cost of the project should be made public.

However, Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure, Mr Akinsanya is yet to respond to the request and has thereby flouted the provision of the FOI Act Section (4) which mandates a public institution to respond to a request within seven days. Also, In the advent that the public institution feels the information should be denied, Section 4(b) provides that the public institution gives a written notice, stating reasons for the denial, and the section of the FOI Act under which the denial is made. The Lagos State Ministry of Works and infrastructure has refused to provide neither the information to the request nor a response for refusal there utterly disregarding the FOI Act.

Following the lack of response from Ministry of Works and infrastructure, BudgIT sent a reminder on the subject to the Ministry and distributed copies to the offices of the Executive Governor, Deputy Governor, Attorney General, Commissioner for information and Strategy and the Office of Civic Engagement. The letter dated May 31st, 2018 reiterated the requests made by the organisation on the cost of executing the Ikeja Bus Terminal.

Someone is still singing the "16 years" song? This is more like still blaming Britain for Nigeria's condition.

Guy, just shut up and carry your nonsense out of my mentions. PDP was in Power for 16 years, mention a single thing PDP did for Lagos apart from painting green white green on 3rd Mainland bridge.

Look at the Ikoyi Bridge Lagos built in 11 months, did Pdp deem it fit to build one for the SE in 16 years?

Apc may be shitty but Pdp is worse than sh!t

PDP that built two new railways and revived the existing one is what you are comparing with Lagos APC that cannot build a single light rail in 20 years?
Are you serious or are you seriously joking
What has APC achieved in education in Lagos, Borno etc compared to PDP states and the federal?

TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?
AUGUST 10, 2011

As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones.

A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project.

"I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria."

The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012.

Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion.

Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains.

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."
