This is great news may be the clueless government will clean up the airport and make it world class. I personally hate going through this airport with stinking wash rooms. How serious is this government in attracting tourism and foreign investment? lets clean our cities and especially public facilities. The airport is an entry point. That’s what any visitor sees first and it will leave a lasting impression.
