The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria(FAAN) has  introduced a number of explosive detection devices, which would  help make sure that our environment is safe and secure as we move people out.

Managing Director of FAAN Mrs.Olubunmi Kuku who disclosed this during interview with aviation journalists in Lagso stated  that this   project  is taking place across  all the airports in the country.

“ I also mentioned the fact that a lot of the terminal rehabilitation work that we have started to do, some of those are now coming on board and on stream. So look out for more in the next coming months, and then the next quarter, really around large infrastructure development projects that we’re looking at as well something exciting coming on board with both in Lagos Abuja airports.”

“ I’m sure that you’ve seen a lot of the renovation work that we’re doing for our facilities, especially those for passengers with disabilities, and of course, passengers generally, in terms of passengers facilitation and not just the environment, the cleanliness, I’m just totally revamping the VIP facilities as well.”

She said that the Authority has an enhanced safety policy that we recently rolled out last year, and we’re making sure that in line and in close collaboration with the NCAA, we’re deploying that very closely.

“We’re also embarking on the Kano and Port Harcourt recertification. We recertified two airports last year. That’s also key for us. We also mentioned a couple of runway renovation projects or rehabilitation projects. Those are also coming on stream, as well as terminal rehabilitation as well. “

To  make sure that from a cost recovery and a passenger experience perspective,  she noted,we’re starting to do that. And of course, you’re seeing that in our secondary airports and our primary airports.

“I’m sure the feedback from all of our passengers is starting to look promising, but we do agree that we’re not where we need to be yet.”
