Federal Government opens bid for concession of four int’l airport terminals
The federal government has opened the bidding process for the concession of four major international airport terminals in the country.
The airports include Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja; Murtala Muhammed Internatıonal Airport, Lagos; Malam Amınu Kano Internatıonal Airport, Kano; and Port Harcourt Internatıonal Airport.
In April, the federal government had said the concession would be for a period between 20-30 years.
Last week, it assured workers of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) that it would not terminate their employment amid plans to concession the airports.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Hassan Musa, permanent secretary of the ministry of aviation, announced the opening of the bidding process in a statement yesterday.
The bid begins with the request for qualification for the concession of the four international airport terminals and other related services.
Musa said that the ministry released the request in compliance with the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) and National Policy on Public-Private Partnership (N4P).
He said the development of the terminals and surroundings would boost job creation and the development of local industries through a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement.
Musa said the development is part of the sector’s roadmap of the federal government to boost air transport value chain growth.
