Murtala Muhammed International Airport
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, International airport in Ikeja, Nigeria
Murtala Muhammed International Airport encompasses two terminals connected by shared runways, handling both domestic and international flights across multiple African destinations.
The airport, originally constructed during World War II, received its current name in 1976 following the assassination of General Murtala Muhammed, Nigeria's fourth military ruler.
The terminals feature exhibitions of Nigerian arts, displaying traditional sculptures and contemporary works that represent different ethnic groups from across the country.
The airport provides currency exchange services, medical facilities, prayer rooms, and multiple transportation options including car rentals and taxi services.
The airport's new terminal, completed in 2022, incorporates design elements from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport and can process 14 million passengers annually.
