UBA renovates MMIA section, advocates public-private collaboration

Newly renovated departure section of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, refurbished by United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, has been commissioned.

The commissioning, which took place on Friday, marks a transformative moment in Nigeria’s aviation sector, underscores UBA’s unwavering commitment to national development and highlights the immense value of strategic public-private partnerships (PPPs).

Speaking at the event, UBA’s Group Managing Director/CEO, Oliver Alawuba, lauded the collaboration that brought the project to fruition as he emphasised the need for public and private institutions to come together to build and revamp the nation’s assets.

“This renovation is a testament of UBA’s belief in the transformative power of investing in national assets. By modernising our airports, we not only enhance infrastructure, but also position Nigeria as a global hub for tourism, trade and investment.

“Public-private partnerships, like this, demonstrate what can be achieved when we unite for a shared vision of progress and investing in infrastructure catalyses economic growth, improves travel experiences.”
