Electricity has been restored at the Murtala Muhammed international airport in Lagos, western Nigeria, following a power cut on Wednesday.
“The power outage which mostly affected the ‘E’ Wing of the terminal was caused by an underground armoured cable fault, leading to billowing of smoke in the affected area,” said Yakubu Dati, spokesperson for the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.
Dati said the outage did not affect operations at the terminal but some services were temporarily shut down to enable engineers effect repairs to the damaged cables.
“FAAN regrets any inconvenience the brief power outage caused airline passengers and operators at the terminal,” said Dati.
FAAN assured the public that such power outage 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.
“The new generators are being test run and will soon be commissioned,” Dati said.
