The Federal Government has deployed hi-tech explosive screening equipment at 15 of the 22 airports in the country, while the others will soon get their share.
This was done in line with the Federal Government’s renewed efforts at boosting safety and security at airports nationwide.
The spokesperson for the aviation parastatals, Mr. Yakubu Dati, said on Tuesday that between July 2011 and October 2013, the Federal Government procured and deployed hi-tech three-in-one liquid, metal and explosive detection screening equipment in all Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria-controlled airports.
He explained that the deployment of the hi-tech security equipment was part of efforts by the government to raise the bar in airport safety and security, adding that the equipment had been fully installed at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja.
