FAAN Announces Temporary Power Shutdown At Lagos Airport

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced a temporary shutdown of power supply to the International Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The shutdown, scheduled for Saturday between 1:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., is part of maintenance activities to improve operations at the terminal.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, and released to newsmen on Friday.

According to the statement, the power shutdown has been planned to cause minimal disruption to flight operations and passenger facilitation during the maintenance period.

The authority further explained that Royal Air Maroc, an airline operating within the maintenance window, will be temporarily relocated to International Terminal 1 for check-in and arrival formalities.

Passengers travelling during the specified hours are advised to cooperate with airport authorities and follow any additional guidelines provided.

The statement reads, “Airlines, security agencies, and concessioners will be notified appropriately.”

The airport authority, however, assured passengers of continuous movement even amid the development.

“FAAN regrets any inconvenience caused to our stakeholders and passengers. The safety and security of all airport users will always be paramount in our considerations,” the statement concluded.
