en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Nigerian Federal Government, in collaboration with the Lagos State Government, is advancing a rail connectivity plan to extend the Lagos rail transit network directly into the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) complex, connecting MMIA, the General Aviation Terminal (GAT), and the MMA2 terminal, aiming to improve passenger transit between terminals.

Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo unveiled the plan at the recent Invest Lagos 3.0 Summit. Keyamo also disclosed that President Bola Tinubu has approved a $500 million (approximately 712 billion naira) modernization project for MMIA, involving terminal upgrades, new passenger walkways, air corridors, and expansion of various passenger service facilities.

The project, launched after the resolution of a long-standing dispute over the MMA2 terminal concession, is expected to further boost investor confidence and solidify Lagos's position as a leading aviation and commercial hub in Africa.
