The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration’s commitment to infrastructure development covering roads, bridges, rail, water dams and sea ports was unprecedented.
While inspecting the newly completed Terminal Two of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, Mr Mohammed said Mr Buhari’s performance surpassed past administrations.
“No administration in the history of Nigeria has done this much, especially at a time of scarcity of resources,” the minister told journalists on Monday.
Meanwhile, he said the new terminal can process 14 million passengers per annum, just as he clarified that it was not built to replace Terminal One but to complement it.
Mr Mohammed also disclosed that over 10,000 direct and indirect job opportunities had been created in the new terminal.
He said the edifice, replicated in Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Enugu and Kano airports, is a testament to the achievements of Mr Buhari’s administration in infrastructure development.
Speaking on the facilities and fittings in the terminal, the minister said it was a whole new experience, especially in terms of aesthetics, comfort, free trolley services, hotel and premium lounges, friendly customer services and free wifi.
“I must confess it was an exhilarating experience comparable to what obtains anywhere in the world,’’ he said.
The new terminal has 60 check-in counters and seven passenger boarding bridges. Five baggage claim belts, 16 departure desks and 28 arrival desks.
There are eight security screening points, a fully automated security control room with CCTV and eye-based lie detector machine.
