FAAN says the free WiFi service, introduced in partnership with MTN Nigeria, will improve passenger experience at Lagos and Abuja international airports.

by Mariya Shuaibu Suleiman

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has partnered with MTN Nigeria to provide free WiFi services at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Terminal 2 in Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

The service was officially launched on Thursday at the Lagos terminal.

FAAN’s Managing Director and Chief Executive, Olubunmi Kuku, who was represented at the event by the Director of Airport Operations, Abdullahi Mahmood, said the initiative is part of efforts to improve passenger experience and expand digital infrastructure at Nigerian airports.

According to FAAN, the service will be extended to the MMIA temporary terminal and other international airports across the country within the next three months.

Officials said the project is structured as a public-private partnership between FAAN and MTN Nigeria.

Speaking at the event, MTN Nigeria’s Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Lynda Saint-Nwafor, who represented the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Karl Toriola, said the company would ensure the service remains reliable and secure.

While FAAN described the rollout as a step toward modernising airport facilities, details of the funding model and long-term maintenance structure were not disclosed at the launch.

Airport users have long complained about limited or unreliable internet connectivity at major Nigerian terminals, particularly during peak travel periods.

However, FAAN did not immediately indicate whether the free service would be time-limited per user or subject to bandwidth restrictions.

Why are they overwhelming the major telcos? Look for smaller companies to provide such services at the airport and encourage major telcos to cover rural communities so that APC won't have a reason to rig 2027 election results

And it's same people like you that will come online to complain if the network is slow because it was given to a smaller company with no infrastructure for such.
Also, if it was given to a slower company, you guys would say it was given to a cronies when there are bigger companies for such a job.
You guys are wired to always complain over everything

I remember there was free WiFi at the Lagos international airport for a number of years. Does it mean the service did not run anymore that is why we have this new partnership?

Limit it to calls on WhatsApp and Text messages like they do in some places abroad else, those workers will be watching movies nonstop costing the Govt and MTN a lot in expenses. You can download movies on Netflix or whatever to watch at the airports if you have delays...do not allow pictures, videos or movies lol.

Re: FAAN, MTN Nigeria Launches Free Wifi Service At Lagos, Abuja Airports by MasterTeeUSA: 10:45pm On Feb 19

I have suggested this in the past. MTN should be given booths so they can sell their SIMS exclusively to those arriving at these airports. That should be the deal.

Wow! And this is news? All major airports in the US/UK/Europe/Asia etc has given everyone passing through the airports free Wifi since over or almost a decade. Nobody even worries about wifi at international airports anymore because it's normal for all travelers .

Why is this worth celebrating in Nigeria? We are richer than many of these countries.

It's about time. I have successfully used the FAAN free wifi in Lagos couple times in the past.
I hope this new system will be a better upgrade from what they are currently offering.
Free wifi is basic in any major airport around thr world. Very basic.

Re: FAAN, MTN Nigeria Launches Free Wifi Service At Lagos, Abuja Airports by Nobody: 1:39am On Feb 20

Faan, Mtn and Tunji Ojo should stop fooling around - wifi, international passport etc are the least of Nigerians' problems.

Nigerians need to stop traveling for now.There's an invincible civil war, like the Conservative Civil War quoted in John Major's autobiography [I thought it was an exaggeration], Sadiq Khan is a shame, he came to Nigeria looking for investments, while London streets were changing in broad daylight. An underground station close to the address I'm associated with in London suddenly became an overground. There's fire on the mountain.

All Nigerians wanted to go abroad, study etc. they have taken their shameful cultism to the UK and the likes.

Some of them need to be deported
