President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated the new terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
While inaugurating the terminal on Thursday, Buhari said his administration is gradually closing the infrastructural deficit in the country.
The terminal was constructed with funding from the China Export Import Bank.
Buhari said the new structure shows Nigeria is moving towards achieving global aviation standards in facilitation, passenger processing and service delivery.
“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,” he said.
“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.
