The Nigerian government agency reacted in a statement on its official X account on Sunday.
The Nigerian government, through the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, has apologized to passengers and stakeholders over a weekend power outage at Terminal 1 of Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State.
The Nigerian government agency, in a statement on its official X account on Sunday, attributed the disruption to a fault in the terminal’s changeover circuit.
According to FAAN, the interruption occurred after an issue arose during a power changeover process.
FAAN explained that its technical teams were immediately deployed to bridge the gap and transfer electricity supply to the secondary grid, while interim backup measures were activated to restore services as quickly as possible.
“We acknowledge the power outage at MMIA Terminal 1 yesterday (weekend). The interruption was caused by an issue with the changeover circuit.
“We apologize to all passengers and stakeholders affected by the disruption and any discomfort it caused”, the statement reads on X.
