The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has explained that disruption of flight operations due to power outage at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, has now been resolved.

The airport was without light for two days, on Saturday and Sunday following a power surge which damaged a major transformer at the airport.

But the General Manager, Public Relations, Mr. Yakubu Datti, in a statement on Monday says repairs have been carried out on the transformer and light is now restored.

The Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos is the nation’s busiest airport for both local and international flights. (Channels TV)
