Nigeria Rolls Out E-Gates at Lagos Murtala Muhammed Airport
E-gates to improve security, ease passenger flow at Lagos' MMIA.
Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced the ongoing installation of electronic gates (e-gates) at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
“I was in Lagos [May 24, 2024] to conduct an inspection of the progress at Terminal 2, Wings D and E, and the private terminal of Murtala Muhammed International Airport,” said Minister Tunji-Ojo. “A total of 21 electronic gates (e-gates) are currently being installed.”
This follows the successful completion of e-gate installation at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
The Lagos project is expected to be finished “in the coming weeks,” according to the Minister.
Nationwide Expansion Planned
The e-gate system will eventually be implemented at Kano, Port Harcourt, and Enugu international airports, all linked to a central command center in Abuja.
The Minister noted this initiative aims to enhance border security and improve passenger experience at Nigerian airports.
