“Today’s commissioning is an example of Government’s deliberate policy to sustain the development of infrastructure for economic growth in all geo-political zones of the country,” said His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari.
President Buhari also praise the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Transportation, the Chinese government and the China Exim Bank for their financial support of US $500m and the various roles they played towards the successful completion of the project. The additional US $100m counterpart fund came from the government of Nigeria.
The terminal which commenced in February 2014, was constructed by China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC). The company is also constructing new terminals in Abuja, Kano and Lagos International Airports.
