Keyamo inaugurates E-gate, CNG-powered buses at Lagos airport

Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, has inaugurated a new electronic gate (E-gate) installed at the departure wing of Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos.

Announcing the installation of the E-gate in a statement on Friday, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said Olubunmi Kuku, its managing director, was present at the inauguration.

According to FAAN, the E-gate was installed to enhance passenger comfort, reflecting the minister’s commitment to improving Nigeria’s aviation sector and delivering a better travel experience.

“This upgrade is part of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the @UBAGroup, aimed at enhancing passenger experience and keeping abreast with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration’s renewed hope agenda,” FAAN added.

In addition, the authority announced the commissioning of four new compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered buses for passenger use in Lagos.

FAAN said the buses, designed to cater to persons with special needs, demonstrate Nigeria’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and meeting global climate targets.
