Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has commissioned four new compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered buses for passenger use at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos.
Zinari News reports that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) made this known in a statement on Friday.
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.
In addition, Keyamo inaugurated a new electronic gate (E-gate), installed at the departure wing of the Lagos airport.
The FAAN managing director, Olubunmi Kuku, who was present at the inauguration, said 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.
The statement added, “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.
