The Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN),  Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, has called on the public to remain patient as construction on key operational roads around Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos intensifies.

She also revealed that FAAN is partnering with the Lagos State Government to ensure timely completion and improve access for road users.

 According to a press release signed by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah, she said the managing director stated this on Saturday, October 12th, while inspecting the road construction ongoing between the Toll Gate Plaza and Gate 13, known as the Service Road of the airport.

While expressing satisfaction with the quality and pace of the work, she asked that road users give the required cooperation to properly and timely construct the 2.4-kilometre road. She also thanked the Lagos State Government for agreeing to collaborate with FAAN on the project.

 “This road should have been done years ago, but I am glad that we have started it, and we need the full cooperation of all road users and members of the airport community to complete it on time and to the desired specifications,” she said. “I also want to thank the Governor of Lagos State, Governor Babajode Sanwo-Olu, for partnering with us to ensure the speedy completion of this particular project.

 “This collaboration is an example of the kind of productive partnerships we are open to encouraging at FAAN for us to make the experience of our passengers as pleasant as possible.

“I also want to thank the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, SAN, for his leadership and guidance. His commitment and eye-for-detail have kept us on our toes, and we are glad that he continues to provide oversight on our work.”

The project work includes the complete road reconstruction, drainages on both sides, sidewalks, and streetlights. The entire project is expected to be delivered in nine months.
