The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has confirmed that reconstruction has officially started at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
In a travel advisory released on Friday, FAAN advised travelers to arrive early to prevent delays or missed flights resulting from renovation-related disruptions.
The project is part of a larger effort to upgrade aviation infrastructure across the country.
Earlier, on August 1, the Federal Executive Council approved more than N900 billion for aviation sector projects, with the refurbishment of Terminal One at MMIA being a key focus.
Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, had stated that the MMIA project involves stripping the terminal to its structural base and completely rebuilding all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
The Lagos airport upgrade is expected to cost N712.25 billion, with a projected completion timeline of 22 months.
“To ensure a smooth travel experience, we kindly request that passengers leave early for the airport to avoid missing flights, obey all traffic instructions to aid traffic flow, and park vehicles properly in designated car park areas,” the authority said.
FAAN said that due to limited space, only those travelling should visit the airport during the period of the reconstruction works.
