 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept".

REMARKS BY HMIC, ALH LAI MOHAMMED DURING MEDIA VISIT TO MMIA NEW TERMINAL


Let me thank the MD and his team for taking us on a passenger’s Journey through Terminal 2

We were taken through the experiences of passengers  departing from and arriving at the Terminal 

This journey took us through 

Check in area

Passport control/Immigration Desks

Screening machines 

22-room hotel 

Six Boarding Gates

Boarding Areas

Praying area for Muslims and Christians 

Port health screening 

Passport control 

Baggage claim area

Arrival concourse. 

I must confess. It was an exhilarating experience comparable to what obtains anywhere in the world

Let me summarize the pre-visit information provided for us by FAAN

1.   The new International Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, was not built to replace Terminal 1. It was built to complement it.

That’s why we were told that You could check in at one Terminal and Board at the other. So there is a handshake between the two Terminals. 

2.   It was the first terminal added to the original terminal since it was built some 40 years ago.

3.  The Terminal 2 Project started in 2013 and was completed by the present administration in 2022 under a bilateral agreement with the People's Republic of China.

4.   The terminal, which has state-of-the art facilities and fittings, has the capacity to
process 14 million passengers per annum.

5.   It has 60 check-in counters, 5 Baggage Claim Belts, 16 departure desks and 28
arrival desks.

6.   There are 8 Security Screening Points at the International Terminal 2.and 7 Passenger
Boarding Bridges.

7.   There is a whole new experience in terms of aesthetics, comfort, free trolley services,
Hotel and premium lounges, friendly customer services and free wifi.

8.   Over 10,000 direct and indirect job opportunities have been created in the news 
Terminal.

Gentlemen, what you have seen at the Terminal in Lagos is replicated in four other terminals across the country 

Abuja 
Port Harcourt 
Enugu
And Kano. 

This edifice, and the others like it, is a testament to the commitment of the Buhari Administration’s unprecedented infrastructure development covering roads, bridges, rail, water dams, sea ports, etc. 

No Administration in the history of Nigeria has done this much, especially at a time of scarcity of resources.
