The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, during his maiden visit to the airport ordered airlines to relocate to Terminal 2 by October 1, 2023.
Keyamo noted that the relocation was a necessity for the renovation and total overhaul of Terminal 1.
Yakubu-Funtua, in the statement on Thursday, said the expedited relocation to the new terminal was deemed necessary due to the fire incident that occurred at Terminal 1 on September 7.
He appealed to travellers to arrive at the airport early in order to complete their check-in formalities on time.
