Passengers Board Flights In Darkness At Murtala Mohammed Airport by NoreenUG(op): 4:10pm On Aug 29, 2016

The Murtala Mohammed international airport on Saturday night hit a new low as darkness enveloped the premier airport due to power outage at the time passengers were boarding flights to different foreign destinations.

The power outage at the airport occurred between 10pm and midnight, when about four international flights – British Airways, Air France, South African Airways, and one other – were boarding.

The departure lounge was pitch dark as airlines officials deployed gas-powered lanterns and battery-powered flashlights to check-in passengers and walk them through the boarding gates.
Passengers groped their ways through the boarding gates into the aircraft.

They discussed the security implications of conducting check-in and boarding processes in darkness in a country currently battling terrorism and at a time when aviation security should be a high priority.

“The place was full of heat and people were sweating. It was a disaster. Our international airport has reached a new low,” a passenger on one of the flights told THISDAY.

The cause of last night’s power outage at the airport could not be ascertained at the time of going to press.

Where is my Sister Stella Oduah?

I just asked after her and nothing else. Okay,back to the Subject. I don't care who whines about my statement,but the epileptic state of our Airports can be traced to the last 16 Yrs of PDP Rule.

This Government is working on restoring our Airports to her former Glory,and it is a work in progress.

Everything is going down and they keep telling us it will get better and it's for our own good. Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a scam.
