The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has appealed to the public, especially road users around the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, to be patient and show understanding as it steps up work on some of the operational roads within the airport area.
The managing director/chief executive of FAAN, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku made the appeal while inspecting the road construction between the Toll Gate Plaza and Gate 13, commonly called ‘Legend Road.’
Kuku who expressed satisfaction for the work done so far, urged road users to cooperate with the contractor while the construction of the 2.4-kilometre road lasts.
She used the opportunity to thank the Lagos State Government for agreeing to collaborate with FAAN on the project.
“This road should have been done years ago, but I am glad that we have started it, and we need the full cooperation of all road users and members of the airport community to complete it on time and to the desired specifications.
“I thank the governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for partnering with us to ensure the speedy completion of this particular project.
“This collaboration is an example of the kind of productive partnerships we are open to encouraging at FAAN for us to make the experience of our passengers as pleasant as possible.
The project includes complete road reconstruction, provision of drainages on both sides, sidewalks, and streetlights.
Spokesperson for FAAN, Mrs Obiageli Orah, said entire project is expected to be delivered within nine months.
