The Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced the plan to build a state-owned airport to drive infrastructural development.

Sanwo-Olu said this on Friday after meeting with the management team of the China Airport Construction Company (CACC) at its headquarters in Beijing, China.

Sanwo-Olu who is currently in China for a working visit with some top government officials, said this is in continuation of his infrastructural development drive and the vision to make Lagos work better, smarter and more efficiently.

“We have a plan in Lagos to build our airport. We plan to see if we can identify partners; real partners who understand our market, seek the potential of our market, and appreciate that it is a market that has the potential to grow and take the lead,” he said.

“We are the most active and financially capable state in the country (Nigeria). So, it is something that we can develop further. A few other airports have also approached us.

“We haven’t made any final decision yet. We are hoping that we will be able to do that in the next couple of months so that we can push things forward.”

Responding, the Managing Director of CACC, Kui Yu, expressed willingness to partner with the Lagos State Government to realise Governor Sanwo-Olu’s vision of constructing a brand-new airport in the Lekki area of the State.

Yu said CACC has been following the development trajectory of Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole, noting that the country is rated highly in Africa, socially and economically.

“China Airport Construction Company has the necessary wherewithal to help Lagos State achieve its desired goal,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu disclosed that he also visited the Beijing Subway Signalling System Centre to inspect the signaling system in use in the capital city of China.

Not a new agenda.

Welcome development


Lagos Centre Of Excellence!

Lagos leads and others follow.
Great idea.
Lagos needs more than one airport .from Lekki/ Ajah to Ikeja might take you three to four hours on some terrible days.
The state is viable to afford it.
Eko o ni baje

I hope they really spend on this project considering the exchange rate ,notice of cement and other factors .

Next should be Badagry airport

There are many areas on the mainland that still need good roads.

I won't be surprised if that airport have a better standard than federal government owned MMA.

Ikorodu have enough land capacity for this, but bad road is a major problem here.... Someone mentioned badagry up there, that location will record low patronage due to bad road and far distance to developed area, even tho they also have land mass...

Lekki/Ajah still remains the perfect location when we put generating revenue for the state into consideration.. Proximity to top companies, wealthy people, embassies, 4star hotels is an added advantage, also, it will serve as a representation of tourism and a standard metro transportation system for a mega city like Lagos consisting of rail, water, road and air transportation. Moreover it will be a balance as mainland already had a federal airport at Ikeja.

Step in the right direction. This will reduce the pressure on the domestic part of Lagos airport and also reduce to some extent domestic flight delay due to movement queue of domestic airlines to

That's a good one!

You can indeed gain the whole world, have all the women, the money, all of it, but if it's independent of God's plan, which is Jesus, it will not stand the test of fire in the last days. For all things shall be tested by fire, what shall remain is that which was built on Christ alone. DM
