The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo  has approved new measures aimed at improving the passenger experience and curbing corruption at Nigeria’s international airports.

These reforms, introduced under the initiative “Operation Air Clean,” are designed to tackle the harassment of travelers by government agencies and reduce passenger complaints.

Key measures include the dissolution of joint inspection tables at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, in favor of intelligence-driven searches and advanced scanners for faster security checks.

Additionally, passenger processing will be streamlined by consolidating checkpoints, while officers from different agencies, such as the Department of State Services and Immigration Service, will share counters to minimize congestion.
