Remodeling the Airports, at what cost?

As remodeling work on some airports across the country kicks-off, the
Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) umbrella body for airline operators
in Nigeria, has demanded to know the actual cost of the remodeling,
saying the on-going work appears to be a ruse that lacks planning and
proper coordination.

Spokesman for the operators, Tukur Muhammed said in an interview that
the operators were not convinced about the on-going work, calling on
necessary quarters, especially the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), to investigate the amount released for the project
he described as mere plastering of airports.

"Over $76million has been received from the Bilateral Air Services
Agreement (BASA) fund and that is apart from other funds that will be
used for the renovation. I can tell you that the terminal managers of
the airports are not happy; they can't speak because they are civil
servants but the destruction of some terminal building like in Kaduna
is uncalled for.
