BASL affirms collaboration with media for national development 

.....As FRCN Lagos Operations pays courtesy visit 

The Acting Chief Operating Officer and Head Aeronautical Services, Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2, Mr. Remi Jibodu, has restated the terminal’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with the media to advance innovation and economic development in Nigeria.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Director of Lagos Operations of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Princess Adenike Adegoke, Mr. Jibodu described the engagement as a strategic partnership between two critical institutions, aviation and broadcasting, saying it is  pivotal for  national growth. 

He commended the corporation’s expansive network and longstanding role in promoting national integration, public awareness and development initiatives across the country, noting that deeper cooperation would help amplify positive stories within the aviation industry.

Jibodu emphasized that operational excellence, innovation and passenger experience remain central to MMA2’s mission. 

According to him, the terminal was deliberately designed not just as a transit hub but as a destination that enhances comfort and convenience for travellers. 

From its integrated car park and seamless terminal access to its art gallery, retail outlets and vibrant food court, he said every element was conceived to ensure passengers feel relaxed and engaged rather than burdened by travel delays.

Referencing the growing “Detty December” travel surge, the MMA 2 Ag. COO, stressed that the terminal’s role extends beyond infrastructure to tourism facilitation. 

He said the management has been intentional about creating an ambience that reflects a modern Nigeria and leaves a positive first impression on returning diaspora and international visitors.

As one of the first points of contact for many travellers, he noted, MMA2 carries a responsibility to help reshape perceptions about the country. 

Mr. Jibodu expressed confidence that through sustained collaboration with key institutions like FRCN, the terminal will continue to support tourism, strengthen the aviation sector and contribute meaningfully to national development.

Responding, the FRCN Director, Lagos Operations, Princess Adenike Adegoke described the corporation as a powerful national platform capable of projecting institutional achievements across the country and beyond.

She highlighted Radio Nigeria’s vast reach, noting that the Lagos operations alone run three major stations, Metro FM 97.7, Radio One 103.5 and Bond FM,  which broadcast in indigenous languages including Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba to deepen  inclusivity. 

According to her, wherever Nigerians come from, Radio Nigeria provides a familiar voice, making listeners “feel at home” through language and culture.

She commended the management of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two, MMA2, for visible infrastructure upgrades, professionalism and improved passenger experience, describing the facility as a glowing example of private sector efficiency in airport management. 

Princess Adegoke particularly praised the growing international profile of the Detty December travel surge, noting that it has evolved into a global convergence point for Lagos-bound travellers.

The FRCN Director assured the terminal operators that Radio Nigeria would continue to amplify their achievements across its nationwide network and digital platforms, including online news portals and social media channels. 

She emphasized the corporation’s readiness to develop public service announcements and specialized programmes to educate travellers on airport procedures, safety measures and new developments.
