The Zamfara Information Technology Development Agency (ZITDA) has begun deploying reliable and uninterrupted internet connectivity at Gusau International Airport ahead of the commencement of commercial operations on October 1.
ZITDA team visited the airport to assess the facility ahead of the immediate deployment of the digital infrastructure.
The connectivity will cover critical areas of the airport, including the domestic and international departure and arrival terminals, protocol and VIP lounges, the control tower, the fire station and other operational facilities. Passengers will also have access to free internet from the moment they arrive at the airport.
Speaking on the initiative, ZITDA said its responsibility goes beyond providing internet access, describing the project as part of efforts to build the digital infrastructure required for modern government, seamless public services and a connected Zamfara.
The airport deployment is part of the broader digital infrastructure expansion programme of the Zamfara State Government, driven by Governor Dauda Lawal’s vision of a more digitally enabled, efficient and connected state.
The first phase of the expansion has already been completed and covers the Government House the JB Yakubu Secretariat Complex, the State House of Assembly Complex, the State High Court Complex, Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, the School of Nursing Sciences and the Zamfara Internal Revenue Service.
ZITDA said that as the state prepares to welcome commercial flights to Gusau International Airport, it is equally preparing the digital infrastructure required to support a modern airport.
