I spoke about the importance of an airport as a gateway that first defines a nation to visitors during a visit by the Management of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria led by its Managing Director, Capt. Rabiu Hamisu Yadudu today.
I made a strong case for the remodelling of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport. We should fully harness the asset and make it a must-see destination for tourists and businessmen coming into the country.
As a State Government, we are taking complementary efforts to ensure the airport promotes business and is safe for travellers. We have started the construction of a massive bus terminal along the airport road, which will be complemented with a rail project.
The rail project is part of the Red Line Rail project which will start from Ebute Metta and pass through Oshodi. The right-of-way of this project has been determined and we are hoping the project will start before the end of the year.
