The chosen and reserved bidders for the concession of the Nigerian airports were disclosed by the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, on Wednesday.
Only three of the four airports and freight terminals that were approved for concession under the program’s deadline of September 19, 2022, according to the Minister.
He revealed this while briefing journalists in Abuja,.
To address the future of the fourth airport asset that missed the deadline, he did mention that the Ministry of Aviation was in touch with the Infrastructure Regulatory Concession Commission and other important players.
The minister stated that the Corporation America Airports Consortium was the preferred bidder for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja and that ENL Consortium had been chosen as the reserve bidder.
Sirika claims that Sifax/Changi Consortium was chosen as the reserve bidder and that TAV/NAHCO Project Planet Limited was chosen as the preferred bidder for Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
Additionally, he noted that there was no reserve bidder for Kano’s Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport and that Corporation America Airports Consortium had won the project as the preferred party.
However, Port-Harcourt International Airport did not meet the RFP deadline.
He also said this was not the final stage for the NACP programme, noting that negotiations and due diligence would be the next stage for the programme.
“The Federal Ministry of Aviation reminds all stakeholders that this is a multistage process and as such this is not the final outcome of the NACP programme.
“The next stage of the programme is the negotiations and due diligence stage, during which the Federal Government will invite preferred bidders to enter detailed negotiations with its representatives, with a view to developing a Full Business Case (FBC) before onward transmission to ICRC for review and approval.
“Only after successful conclusion of the negotiation and due diligence stage will the FBC and all other approvals be presented before the Federal Executive Council for final approval by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“The Federal Ministry of Aviation encourages all participants who have responded to the RFP to ensure that they continue to refer to the NACP website www.nacp.aviation.gov.ng,” he said.
