The government of Lagos in Nigeria is considering the establishment of an airline and building an airport at Lekki.
The governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, stated that planning and financing discussions have been ongoing for several months.
The proposed airline’s business plan is deemed viable, and funding is not a concern.
The next steps include securing federal government approval and establishing operational contingencies. The development of the Lekki-Epe International Airport, planned for a decade, is facing opposition from local landowners.
Nigeria has never succeeded in establishing a state airline.
