The Federal Executive Council, FEC, yesterday approved the award of contract for the supply and installation of customized explosive and narcotic detection screening systems in five international airports across the country.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the weekly council meeting, presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The minister said the detection screening systems would be built with drive view mechanism in Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja; Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos; Mallam Aminu Kano Airport, Kano; Akanu Ibiam International airport, Enugu; and Port Harcourt International Airport in Rivers State.

Keyamo added that the council saw the need for the equipment to bring relief to Nigerians of past experiences and the horror of being subjected to inhuman treatment.

He said: “The two memos that Aviation presented today, and they were approved, one is a memo for the signing of a bilateral air service agreement with the Republic of Guyana.

“We have entered into an agreement with Guyana and they have been very anxious to have direct flights from Guyana to Nigeria
