LAGOS — The Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos was, yesterday, thrown into confusion as an underground armoured cable generating power to some parts of the terminals developed faults,  leading to power outage at the airport.

Vanguard gathered that the power outage which affected the ‘E’ Wing of the airport led to billowing smoke in the affected area.

When contacted, General Manager, Corporate Communication, FAAN, Mr. Yakubu Dati said the power outage did not affect operations at the terminal building but that some services were temporarily shut down to enable the agency’s engineers effect repairs.

According to Mr. Dati, “FAAN regrets any inconvenience the brief power outage caused airlines, passengers as well as operators at the terminal buildings of the airport.”

He assured that the agency would ensure that there was no more issue of power outage, saying “it will soon become a thing of the past when the power improvement project at the airport, involving the installation of six ultra modern generators, is commissioned.”
