Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), on Friday said it would shutdown power supply  to the International Terminal 2 (ITZ-2) of the Murtala  Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, who made this known said, the shutdown will be between the hours of 0100hrs and 0430hrs on Saturday morning, 16th November, 2024 for the replacement  of the Bus Riser 11KVA high tension panel. She, however, said the airline that operates during the shutdown period will be relocated.

The FAAN spokesman, however, apologised for inconvenience, saying, the authority is more concerned about the safety and security of airport users.

“The proposed  electrical power supply maintenance  shutdown  will be carried  out with minimal  disruption  to flight operations  and passenger  facilitation. Royal Air Maroc ,which operates within  the maintenance  hour, will be relocated  for  check-in  and arrival  ( parking) formalities  to  International Terminal 1 (ITZ- 1) Airlines, Security Agencies and Concessioners will be notified  appropriately.

‘FAAN regrets any inconvenience caused  to our stakeholders and passengers. The safety  and security of all airport users will  always be paramount in our considerations,’ she stated.
