The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has formally apologised to Nigerians over the power failure that interrupted business at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, (MMIA), Lagos.

The power failure at the airport grounded activities for more than one hour before the battle to restore light in the ever busy airport was successful.

Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, the General Manager (Corporate Communications) of FAAN, apologised on Thursday in Lagos with an explanation that the outage happened on Wednesday night.

Engineers from FAAN restored electricity to the terminal as passengers conducted their activities in the dark with some clutching to flash lights.

She explained that “a minor power interruption at the airport caused the disruption, but engineers swung into action’’ and that normalcy had returned.

“FAAN wishes to apologise to passengers, airlines and the general public for the inconvenience caused by this interruption.

“The authority is assuring airport users of safety and security at airports at all times,” she said.

She said that power problem at the Lagos Airport was caused by the construction work going on there.

wish I can roll the country on a piece of paper and smoke it,nija have died

We shall get there one day! let us at least post something positive about our country! this is a global platform

Is our culture. We are used to it

There's absolutely no sensible explanation why power should possibly go off in such a national edifice... I think the whites should just return and recolonise Africa...

Useless country. You're apologising to Nigerians. International airport is for international travellers not Nigerians alone. Other countries involved.
Everything about management in Nigeria is for yakubu. Alhaji. Mallam. Abudul. Mohammed. Idris. The country is in shambles. Disintegration is imminent.
