Foremost human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN, has said that Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) should be encouraged and granted priority in any airport concession plan.

He made his position known in a statement while speaking on the Airport Concession by the Nigerian government on Monday.

Citing reasons, the Lawyer, explained that the management is efficient, adding that it renders friendly services and parades durable infrastructure.

Adegboruwa said the payment system is efficient and corruption free, as expected of a privately operated business.

He also said the activities of touts and thugs are totally minimized and even the Uber cars are now to use the official car park for orderliness and efficiency.

The statement read partly: “ I have used the MM2 local airport for years now and without any doubt, it remains the best managed local airport in Nigeria. The management is efficient, it renders friendly services and parades durable infrastructure.

“The management of traffic, in both vehicular and human movements, is commendable, given the volume of passengers using the MM2 faculties daily.

“For the multilevel car parks, safety of cars is highly guaranteed. I have parked my car there for days without any issue at all. The payment system is efficient and corruption free, as expected of a privately operated business. The activities of touts and thugs are totally minimized and even the Uber cars are now to use the official car park for orderliness and efficiency.

“This has been the case with MM2 for years. It offers a good example of how an airport should be run, even though it can still be better, when compared with international standards.

“I say this purely objectively based on my personal experience. I have no brief from Bi-Courtney, it’s management or my Learned Brother Silk, Dr. Wale Babalakin.

He further empathized on the need to encourage local investors grow the Nigerian economy and also guarantee employment for its people.
