This decision was announced by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, during a briefing with State House correspondents following the FEC meeting on Tuesday.
Fagbemi detailed that three proposals were presented for approval, including the “procurement of two units of body scanners for deployment at both Abuja and Lagos International Airports, at a cost of N985 million.”
