The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
says it is working to reverse the poor rating of the Port Harcourt
International Airport and ensure it meets international standard. At a tour of the airport, after it led a group of worst
airports around the world in a rating by sleepinginairports.net, the Managing
Director of FAAN, Saleh Dunoma, said that a remodeling of the airport was
ongoing, as the structure hosting the domestic wing within the terminal was
meant to be a temporary one.
He said efforts were on to complete the
international terminal by 2016, equipped with state-of- the-art facilities. “When
we finish all these projects it will make a great difference, he said, appealing
to the airport users to bear with the agency,” Mr Dunoma said. At the local
terminal, a passenger said the airport was in a bad shape and urged the
government to urgently renovate the airport. “It is an eyesore. The neglect is
wrong, bearing in mind that the airport was an international airport for the
south-south region,” the passenger said. Aside from the airport in Port Harcourt, two
other Nigeria’s airports – Abuja, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, and
Lagos, Murtala Muhammed International Airport, – showed up in the survey
result showing the worst airports in Africa. The Abuja airport was at the
seventh position while the Lagos airport was at the 10th position.
Has laoreet percipitur ad. Vide interesset in mei, no his legimus verterem. Et nostrum imperdiet appellantur usu, mnesarchum referrentur id vim.
