World Bank Okays N1.2b to Upgrade Nigeria's Airports



POOR infrastructure at most Nigerian airports will be addressed with a N1.2 billion ($10 million) World Bank facility.


The bulk of the money, according to sources in the Federal Ministry of Transportation Aviation, would be used to upgrade infrastructure and navigational aids at the airports.


The project will be supervised by World Bank officials.


Already, a Nigerian consultant has been appointed to manage the advertisement for bidders for the execution of the projects.


The project, when completed, will help to provide basic necessities at the four major airports in the country, which have suffered near neglect, and whose facilities are obsolete.





This article addresses the recent decision to allocate funds to better the Nigerian airports so that they will be of the most benefit to the citizens of Nigeria. This allocation of funds shows the drive of Nigeria to become more industrialized and modern which can allow for greater competition with other nations throughout the world.
