Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has opened a new terminal building at Lagos’ main international airport that has the capacity to process 14 million travellers a year.
He said it was part of a larger plan to build five new terminals at five different Nigerian airports, explaining that it was part of his government’s commitment to build critical and enduring infrastructure, the BBC reports.
The new terminal is equipped with censored conveyor belt, seven jet bridges, 10 ultra-modern cooling systems, heat extraction in the baggage hall, ample space for duty free shops and banks, recreational areas for children, 22-room hotel for stop-overs among others.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu, Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika, Yobe State Governor Mai-Mala Buni among others attended the commissioning.
