FG to Rehabilitate Murtala Muhammed International Airport Before Concessioning – Keyamo
The Federal Government will rehabilitate Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, before concessioning, says Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo.
Keyamo stated that the government is exploring multiple funding options to refurbish the airport before private-sector takeover.
He denied reports suggesting there are no plans for concessioning, emphasizing that privatization remains a priority for efficiency.
The concessioning process has been delayed due to an ongoing lawsuit filed by aggrieved bidders contesting the terms.
The dispute over Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two (MMA2) concession to Bi-Courtney has lingered for over sixteen years.
Authorities plan to finalize funding models, ensuring necessary infrastructure upgrades before handing management to private operators.
