The Chairman, House of Representative Committee on Aviation, Mrs. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, has said that remodelled airport terminals in the country are now looking better.
She also said they had met the minimum standard prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
A statement by the General Manager, Corporate Communications, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Mr. Yakubu Dati, quoted Onyejiocha as making the remark on Monday during a tour of the facilities at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, by members of the committee.
According to him, the oversight inspection took members of the committee to the domestic terminal 1 of MMA.
The committee also visited the ongoing project aimed at linking the two modules at the terminal.
The committee later inspected work being done at the ‘D’ and ‘E’ wings of the international terminal of the airport where the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, FAAN, Mr. George Uriesi, told members of the committee that, on completion of the expansion project, the terminal would have a total of 24 immigration counters and 20 security screening points, which would enhance passenger facilitation at the terminal.
The new figures had more than doubled the existing immigration counters and screening points at the terminal.
Uriesi told the members that it was expected that revenue derivable from remodelled terminals at the airport at full utilisation, would be triple what is being generated at the moment, adding that the authority had devised better means of collecting debt owed it by its customers.
