The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has stated that it will carry out a power cut to the International Terminal 2 (ITZ-2) of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, today, between 1:00 am and 4:30 am.
The shutdown, the authority said, is necessary to replace the Bus Riser 11KVA high tension panel, a critical electrical component.
According to a statement signed by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah, the maintenance work will be carried out with minimal disruption to flight operations and passenger facilitation.
To minimize the impact, Orah said Royal Air Maroc, which operates during the maintenance hour, will be relocated to International Terminal 1 (ITZ-1) for check-in and arrival (parking) formalities.
Orah said airlines, security agencies, and concessioners would be notified accordingly.
FAAN apologized in advance for any inconvenience this might cause to its stakeholders and passengers.
“The safety and security of all airport users will always be paramount in our considerations,” Orah said.
