The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has shifted flight operations and passenger processing to Terminal 2 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, made this announcement in a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday. This change comes after the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, directed airlines to relocate to Terminal 2 by October 1 during his inaugural visit to the airport.
He noted that the relocation was a necessity for the renovation and total overhaul of terminal 1.
Yakubu-Funtua said the expedited relocation to the new terminal was deemed necessary due to the fire incident that occurred at Terminal 1 on Sept. 7.
He appealed to travellers to arrive at the airport early in order to complete their check-in formalities.
