The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has deployed profiling robots and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, and Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos as Nigeria prepares to commence commercial flight services.

The robots would be used for passenger facilitation processes including profiling, check-ins, temperature checks as well as detection of security threats including dangerous goods and arms.

The Hon. Ministers of: Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika conducted a dry run simulation exercise at domestic terminals of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos respectively where the robots have been deployed.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority today conducted a simulation flight ahead of the reopening of the country’s airspace to commercial operations

The flight was operated by Aero Contractors beginning from the Abuja Airport to the Lagos Airport and vice-versa.

The regulator is expected to announce the resumption date for scheduled domestic operations anytime soon.

The airports and airspace were shut in March by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). as part of measures to curb the spread of the lethal coronavirus.

Nice. I love technology.

Meanwhile, we read the other day that the UN donated something like this to Rwanda. People who didn't bother reading thread started cursing Nigeria for not having any. Glad we have it now.

Were these also donated or purchased?
