Let me say that we have also attracted similar projects to the part of the airport you\u2019re seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXejet, we will be here with you throughout, from the beginning to the end. Our technical team will be here, the MD FAAN will put the engineering team together, to ensure that they support you; and you comply with all regulations. The DG NCAA too will do the same, to ensure that what we have here will be world-class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Xejet CEO, Emmanuel Iza, said that the facility represents the company\u2019s pledge to elevate aviation services in Nigeria to global standards.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cThrough cutting-edge technology, superior engineering, and unparalleled flight support, Xejet seeks to not only improve operational efficiencies but deliver an exclusive experience that sets us apart in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the cost implications, he said the project is in two phases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first phase is to prepare the ground, to create the taxiway that is going to connect the runway to our facility and the apron. That\u2019s roughly in excess of $5 million. And we are expecting to put the structure of equal amount on top of it there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
