There was a power outage on Wednesday at the Murtala Mohammed International, Airport, Lagos State.
The power outage, according to a statement by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, affected the ‘E’ Wing of the airport in the main.
According to the statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Communications, of FAAN, Yakubu Dati, the power outage was caused by a damaged cable.
Dati said in the statement: “The power outage which mostly affected the ‘E’ Wing of the terminal was caused by an underground armoured cable fault, leading to billowing of smoke in the affected area.
“The outage did not affect operations at the terminal but some services were temporarily shut down to enable our engineers effect repairs to the damaged cables.
“FAAN regrets any inconvenience the brief power outage caused airline passengers and operators at the terminal.
“The Authority wishes to assure the public that such power outage will soon become a thing of the past when the power improvement project at the airport, involving the installation of six ultra modern generators, is commissioned. The new generators are being test run and will soon be commissioned.”
