Nigeria's cabinet just signed off on buying 200 electric buses for 58 billion naira through the National Automotive Design and Development Council, and they greenlit a 187 billion naira headquarters for the Bank of Industry at Eko Atlantic City. Minister of State for Industry John Eno said they also passed a new industrial policy that development partners were waiting on before they would even talk to the government about manufacturing deals. Lagos locked down hosting duties for the next Intra-African Trade Fair, with the old National Theatre serving as the main venue.
Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo said the council approved runway detection systems for Lagos and Abuja airports that alert pilots about obstacles, plus they ordered modular control towers for eight airports and upgraded radio comms at nine locations. China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation gets to keep maintaining the Kano airport terminal they built while training locals to take over eventually.
The cabinet also pushed through biometric gates at international airports to speed up immigration lines instead of making passengers stand around forever.
