The Federal
Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has inaugurated a modern automated car
park at the Domestic Terminal 1 of the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport
(MMIA), Lagos. According to a statement released to press men on Monday, FAAN’s
Acting General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu said that the
newly acquired facility would foster revenue generation in the country.
The Managing
Director of FAAN, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, in his inaugural speech said; “This modern
facility is uniquely designed to ensure that parking fees are paid at the
payment booths by its end-users before they exit the car park unlike in the
past when they were paying at the entry point. This facility also has a special
billing system which is programmed to give the end-users the exact amount for
time spent at the parking lots. The inauguration of this facility is in line
with FAAN’s desire to give passengers and airport users improved air travel
experience in line with global best practices,” he said.
The new
facility among other things would automatically eliminate long queues in the
area; reduce traffic, speed up passenger and vehicular movements at the
landside of the terminal. It would also ensure seamless facilitation of
passengers and airport users.
This
development, according to the statement also, would key into President Buhari’s
commitment to transparency since all federal government agencies revenue-points
have been mandated to pay all revenues generated into ‘Federal Government’s
Treasury Single Account’ (TSA).
FAAN, however
has assured to give the traveling public best of its services despite the
economic challenges currently facing the country, assuring them of safety,
especially in the upcoming Yuletide period which is the peak period of air
travel in the system.
