 Lagos State Government, FAAN collaborate to fix dilapidated Airport Road 




The Managing Director/Chief Executive of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, has urged members of the public, especially road users around the Murtala Muhammed International Airport to demonstrate patience with the authority as it collaborates with the Lagos State Government to fix some  operational roads within the airport area.

The project  includes:  the complete road reconstruction, drainages on both sides, sidewalks, and streetlights.

 The entire project is expected to be delivered in nine months

Mrs Kuku disclosed while inspecting the road construction ongoing between the Toll Gate Plaza and Gate 13, commonly called 'Legend Road.'

While expressing satisfaction with the quality and pace of the work, she asked that road users give the required cooperation for the proper and timely construction of  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 Babajide 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 Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, 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."
