The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said that it has restored power fully at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA),Lagos, shortly after a power outage.
The restoration of power was made known in an online statement made available by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mr Yakubu Dati today.
According to Dati a power surge from the PHCN at about 8:56pm on Saturday, August 24, adversely affected the k16 transformer that serves the E-Wing Air-bridges and rendered them unserviceable.
He added that this affected operations of some departing flights, as the heavy rainfall further delayed attempts by engineers to effect repairs immediately.
He stated that however, at 10:50am on Sunday, August 28, the engineers successfully corrected all defaults and normalcy was again restored at affected areas.
FAAN in the statement assured airport users of safety and security at its airports, just as the agency apologised to passengers, airlines and the general public for the inconvenience caused by this interruption.
Recalled that the development had affected some airlines that operate into the country.
