Abuja, Nigeria | July 10, 2025 — Political commentator and former presidential aide Reno Omokri has lavished praise on the newly upgraded Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, calling it “the most modern airport in Africa.”
In a post from his verified X account yesterday, Omokri said:
“Once you land, everything is electronic. No immigration. Completely paperless.”
He credited the achievements to President Bola Tinubu and key aviation officials, adding that Minister Festus Keyamo and adviser Bunmi Ojo also “deserve praise” for their roles in the digital overhaul
Omokri’s post has sparked debate online. Supporters welcomed the shift toward a fully digital, paperless arrival experience, while critics questioned whether the system is seamless and inclusive for all travelers.
A review of the airport’s latest upgrades confirms enhanced electronic systems—but thorough, independent assessments are underway to verify that the immigration process is indeed entirely paperless and accessible for passengers.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has yet to officially comment on Omokri’s claims. Meanwhile, travelers are encouraged to share their experiences—whether seamless or not—as the Abuja aviation hub continues its journey toward modernization.
