Lekki International Airport is a proposed airport in Lekki, Nigeria, designed for a capacity of 5 million passengers annually.
Background
The Lekki Airport project is projected to cost ₦71.64bn (US$ 450 million) in its first phase, planned to be situated 10 km from Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), and was originally proposed to open in 2028.
