The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has redirected flight operations and processing of passengers to terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.

BrandNewsDay reports that the FAAN Director, of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, made this disclosure in a statement issued made available to the press on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, during his maiden visit to the airport, ordered airlines to relocate to terminal 2 by October 1.

Keyam noted that the relocation was a necessity for the renovation and total overhaul of Terminal 1.

Yakubu-Funtua, however, said the expedited relocation to the new terminal was deemed necessary due to the fire incident that occurred at Terminal 1 on Wednesday, September 6.

He appealed to travellers to arrive at the airport early in order to complete their check-in formalities
