Power supply has been restored at the international terminal of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja after a brief outage that affected some sections of the terminal today, September 25, 2013.
According to the FAAN General Manager (Communications), Yakubu Dati, 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 have already been test run and are only awaiting commissioning.
