What happened
A settlement agreement was approved by the President, resolving a long-standing dispute over airport revenue in Lagos. The agreement allows the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to begin receiving revenue from Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two. Under the terms, Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited agreed to drop outstanding claims against the Federal Government, while the government and FAAN relinquished past claims, including accumulated concession fees.

Why it matters
The resolution ends a nearly two-decade period during which FAAN had not earned revenue from the terminal due to financial disputes. The settlement is expected to establish a clearer financial and operational framework for managing the airport terminal and reduce the risk of future disagreements between the parties.
