The Federal Executive Council, FEC, has approved the sum of N470,263,037 for the procurement, installation, and commissioning of fully dimensional aerodrome and approach simulator at Lagos Airport.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, made the disclosure on Wednesday while briefing State House correspondents shortly after the 23rd virtual FEC meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Mr Mohammed, who spoke on behalf of the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who presented a memo to the council, said the contract has a completion period of six months.
According to him, the contract was awarded to Messrs Intelligent Transportation System Limited, an authorized representative of the original manufacturer, Messrs Teofex System of France.
The minister said the contract became necessary in view of the increase in the number of personnel who had been recruited and trained as air traffic controllers.
“It is important to us to ensure safety in all the 32 aerodromes of the country,” he added.
