FAAN Puts Finishing Touches to Sokoto Airport

Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is putting finishing touches to the ongoing remodeling work on the Sultan Saddik Abubakar III International Airport, Sokoto in furtherance of the Airport remodeling Project.

The remodeling work which has transformed the 30 years old airport, from its relic image to a modern edifice befitting the ancient city, is one of the 22 airports undergoing remodeling.

Yakubu Dati,   general manager, Corporate Communications of the Agency said that the remodelled terminal has a full complement of modern facilities which include; offices, shops, conveyor belts, screening machines, check-in counters, restaurants and ultra modern VIP lounge.

The ambience of the departure and arrivals lounges has also been improved considerably to provide sufficient comfort for all passengers and crew.

Sultan Abubakar III International Airport, which serves as a major link between the North Western part of the country and the rest of the world, will experience new business opportunities with the new commercial offerings that the remodeled terminal will now offer airport users there.

The airport offers flight connections to Lagos, Abuja and Kano, thereby serving as a major catalyst for investment in the North West zone of the country.

It is expected that the remodeled Sultan Abubakar III International Airport will be commissioned before the end of the fourth quarter of the year.
