With an outlandish expenditure of N174bn, the
government had aimed to bring the nation’s airports at par with their
counterparts in the developed world, but passengers who use the busiest of the
facilities in Lagos are not impressed with the work done so far, Udeme Ekwere
writes.
Passengers who regularly use the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport in Lagos are not impressed with the state of facilities
at the nation’s gateway despite the multi-billion naira remodelling carried out
on the airport and others across the country.
The passengers are particularly not happy because
of the high level of discomfort they are experiencing at the edifice.
It was gathered that some of the new facilities
were no longer functioning properly, while others had falling into a state of
disrepair.
For instance, passengers complained that the
air-conditioning system at the arrival hall of the MMIA now worked abnormally,
and that visitors coming into the country were being confronted with
embarrassing heat at the lounge and up to the immigration point.
