Henrietta Yakubu, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), said effective Wednesday, October 6, 2021, there would be a temporary closure of the regular Drop Off Zone at the departure frontage of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
She said, in a statement to notify passengers, airport users, stakeholders and the general public that, the temporary closure was to allow for the completion of the ongoing canopy installation works at the concourse of the old international building.
“However, to ease vehicular and human facilitation around the area, the Authority has temporary opened the Drop Off Zone of the new international terminal to serve airport users, while the project would last.
“Also, covered walkways have been put in place to link the old and the new terminal. The Authority will also open the new departure bridge to serve as an exit to motorists,” said the statement.
Yakubu appealed to airport users to bear with FAAN, “we will like to appeal to passengers and other stakeholders to please comply with directives from security and traffic agents that have been deployed to ensure orderliness.”
