Two still continues and will end on July 20, 2017, while the final draw date is July 21 when the star prize, a Kia Rio saloon car, and other consolation prizes will be won
Babalakin made this known to newsmen during a media briefing in Lagos on Sunday to mark the 10 years anniversary of the Murtala Muhammad Airport 2
MMA2, operated under the Public-Private Partnership concession agreement between the Federal Government and Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, a member of The Resort Group, is the first successful privately-funded Design, Build, Operate and Transfer airport terminal in Nigeria
The ministers’ various contributions and those of FAAN were a reflection of what it takes to do business with the government, even when the administration under which they served had good intentions. Other private investors and prospective ones need to learn a lesson or two from this experience
Speaking on the topic: “Focus on Nigeria’s Aviation Sector,” on a Channels TV programme, The Crux, Babalakin, whose firm, Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, manages the Murtala Muhammed Airport Two, said infrastructure deficit was a deliberate position of the government
The terminal, operated by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, was adjudged the best by Nigerians who responded to the calls of the Nigerian Aviation (NIGAV) Awards Committee to nominate winners for the various categories of its awards organised by IFC International Limited, an aviation consulting firm
The statement further said that BASL is prepared to dedicate a section of MMA2 to any airline having challenges in processing its passengers at GAT and also guarantees that all safety, security and specific passenger facilitation requirements will be put in place to address the airlines’ specific needs within 24 hours
Conversely, it is a big shame that after several years, FAAN cannot boast of one terminal that provides comparable comfort and meets the expectations of passengers in Nigeria.

The features enable airport users book flights, get live flight information, track flights and enable access to available shops and quick service outlets at the terminal, among others
While reacting to a newspaper report of Chidoka’s appraisal confirming MMA2 as the only Airport terminal with high rating in the country, Bi-Courtney listed the benefits of privatization and commended the Minister for his objective appraisal, his refusal to mislead the country on the true state of the nation’s Aviation industry and the positive steps he has taken to arrest the decay in the sector
According to court documents obtained, others against whom Bi-Courtney wants the order of contempt made include FAAN; the authority’s Chief Security Officer, Colonel C.L. Onalo; and its General Manager, Public Affairs, Yakubu Dati
Meanwhile, FAAN, in a counter-statement on Saturday, alleged it was Bi-Courtney that unleashed the hired thugs on the airport premises
