By Lawani Mikairu

AS the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two, Lagos, MMA2,  clocks 10 years, GWX, an aviation logistics company in Nigeria, has congratulated the Board, Management and Staff of Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited, BASL, operators of the terminal, for successfully managing the world-class facility in line with global best practice in the past 10 years.

MMA2, operated under the Public-Private Partnership concession agreement between the Federal Government and BASL, a member of The Resort Group, is the first successful privately-funded Design, Build, Operate and Transfer, DBOT, airport terminal in Nigeria.

The GWX Board and management, in a statement by the General Manager, Corporate Services, GWX, Mr. Bright Aghogban, yesterday, said the company will continue to partner Bi-Courtney to raise the bar on air transport safety in Nigeria.

“MMA2 is indeed a great success story of a pioneering PPP initiative in the aviation industry in Nigeria.”

It reinforces the belief that if given a chance, Nigerians can build Nigeria and make the economy to become one of the 20 greatest in the world in line with the Federal Government’s vision 20:2020. We rejoice with the board, management and staff of BASL as well as users of the facility on the occasion of the 10th anniversary. We also congratulate the Federal Government for giving PPP initiative a chance to thrive in the industry,” he added.

MMA2 was rated in 2014 by the Federal Ministry of Aviation as the best airport terminal in the country.

According to him, GWX’s partnership with MMA2 on cargo facilitation has led to enhanced level of safety, security and efficiency in cargo processing & airlifting at the world-class facility. The cargo shed of the terminal, he said, is equipped with ultra-modern state-of-the-art screening machines that can detect any kind of unsafe, dangerous or prohibited items.

“The whole system at the cargo facility is 100 per cent automated, giving little or no room for human errors.   Indeed our partnership with Bi-Courtney has brought some degree of safety awareness among stakeholders in the cargo segment especially among our cargo agents. We have taken time to train them on various areas of the cargo business especially on security and safety,” he added.
