Meanwhile, in Benin, passengers hoping to use the airport may have to wait a bit longer. This is because the facility appears not to be ready to resume operations.
When Channels Television visited the airport, there were no passengers at the facility. However, airline operators and officials of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria were seen. But no one was willing to speak on the reason for the delay.
The arrival and departure terminals are, however, wearing a different look. This is in line with COVID-19 guidelines, with work still in progress. Airports In Nigeria
