PHOTO NEWS: Buhari commissions new Abuja airport terminal

President Muhammadu Buhari has commissioned the new terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The terminal was constructed with funding from the China Export Import Bank.

During the inauguration on Thursday, Buhari said his administration is gradually bridging the infrastructure deficit in the country.

“This administration recognises aviation as a catalyst for economic growth and as such will continue to encourage and support the actualisation of projects that will place Nigerian airports amongst the best in the world.

“This event today, reflects government’s deliberate policy to sustain the development of Nigeria’s infrastructure. We are gradually closing the infrastructural deficit bedevilling our country.

“This has provided passengers and other airport users with a choice in the mode of transport to and from the city centre. I recall taking a ride from the city metro station to the airport on the day the rail line was commissioned.

“I wish to assure you therefore, that government remains committed to developing Nigeria into regional air transportation hub and thereby assuming its leadership in the aviation sub sector in Africa”, he said.
