With the recent approval from the Federal Executive Council, I am pleased to announce that Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) will undergo major upgrades to transform it into a world-class facility. The upcoming developments include:
1. Rehabilitation and Expansion of Terminal 1 (T1): As our busiest terminal nationwide, T1 will undergo extensive rehabilitation. This includes upgrading the exterior façade, interior finishes, plumbing systems, and mechanical and electrical installations to meet international standards.
2. Expansion of Terminal 2 (T2): T2 will be expanded to accommodate more wide-body aircraft. This includes the extension of both the finger (boarding bridge area) and apron to enhance aircraft handling capacity. And existing hangars in the expansion zone will be relocated to allow for seamless execution of this project.
3. New Road Network: A modern, well-organised, and efficient road network will be developed to improve access to the airport, easing congestion and enhancing the overall travelling experience.
4. Connection Building and Skywalk: A Skywalk will be constructed to integrate the car park building with T2, and a connection building will be established to link T1 and T2. These infrastructures will transform the previously independent terminal buildings into a unified complex, improving passenger flow and airport management.
5. Temporary Departure Hall: During the rehabilitation phase, a temporary departure hall will be established. It will be well-organised, clean, and comfortable to ensure convenience for all travellers.
6. Redesigned Central Square Landscape: The landscape in the central square, located in front of the terminal buildings, will be completely redesigned to create a welcoming atmosphere for arriving passengers, offering a first impression that reflects the pride and spirit of our nation.
We are reimagining the future of the MMIA, not just rebuilding a terminal, but elevating Nigeria’s aviation experience to global standards. The new T1 will offer faster check-in, smarter security, brighter lounges, and better shopping—all built for you.
This project represents a future-focused infrastructure upgrade and a solemn commitment to every traveller passing through this national gateway.
Your understanding and support today are helping us build the MMIA of tomorrow—more vibrant, convenient, and world-class—truly the pride of the nation.
We are undertaking this project so that every departure and return becomes a moment to look forward to. The upgraded terminal will elevate MMIA to an international platform, establishing it as a leading aviation hub in West Africa—becoming a source of national pride and meeting the highest global standards.
