    Definitely, this survey report is not credible! They are only looking for attention, they don’t deserve to be taken seriously.

      Whether the report is credible or not, these airports are not of world standards and they need to be improved on.

    This is a negative image on Lagos Start and Portharcourt, the states’ governments should make sure all these cafeterias that made the airports be included as part of worst 5 airports should be improved on.

      Lagos state in particular, it is very bad for the image of the state, Ambode should make sure the airports get improved on as the state has better image in the foreign scene and more focus from international bodies.
