Aviation minister Festus Keyamo inaugurated the remodelled E-wing and E-gate on Friday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Mr Keyamo said collaborations and partnerships drove airport development.

He said this had driven the partnership between the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and the United Bank for Africa.

The minister said the remodelling would be extended to the E-Wing.

According to Mr Keyamo, the remodelling will be replicated in the arrival hall.

Speaking on extortion and conduct of airport personnel, the minister said that the image of aviation agencies and the country should be considered above personal interest.

Mr Keyamo said the ministry and FAAN managing director, Olubunmi Kuku, had been working with the National Security Adviser and updated him about every step taken.

The group managing director of UBA, Oliver Alauba, said the bank had been working on the partnership for two years to improve airport infrastructure.

The minister also inaugurated four CNG-powered buses to aid passenger movement.

CNG is a clean fuel that is more energy efficient, emits fewer greenhouse gases than diesel and is cheaper than petrol.
