Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says there will be a temporary closure at the departure drop off zone of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Gatekeepers News reports that FAAN has announced that there will be a temporary closure of the regular drop off zone at the departure frontage of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, from October 6.

FAAN General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Henrietta Yakubu, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, announced to notify passengers, airport users, stakeholders, and the public.

Yakubu noted that the temporary closure would give room for the completion of the ongoing canopy installation works at the concourse of the old international building.

She said, “However, to ease vehicular and human facilitation around the area, the authority has temporarily opened the drop off zone of the new international terminal to serve airport users while the project lasts.”

Yakubu added that the covered walkways had been put in place to link the old and new terminals.

The authority would also open the new departure bridge to serve as an exit to motorists.

Yakubu added, “We appeal to airport users to bear with us while the project is being completed.

“We will like the passengers and other stakeholders to comply with directives from security and traffic agents deployed to ensure orderliness.”
