There was confusion at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport on Saturday as the airport was thrown into darkness suddenly.
NPO Reports had gathered that the outage happened at a time some international flights such as Air Maroc and Qatar were just landing.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) later apologized to passengers and other airport users who witnessed the outgae.
FAAN in a statement by its Acting General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Faithful A. Hope-Ivbaze (Mrs.) said the outage was a result of Friday’s rain, which came with very fierce winds and storms.
It was learnt that the departure lounge of the International Airport was the most affected.
Reacting, Ivbaze said the natural occurrence affected one of the feeders and consequently resulted in the temporary disruption of power supply to the D wing of the airport.
She added that power has since been restored.
“However, our engineers quickly discovered the fault and liaised with the Ejigbo duty/area control office of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria to resolve the problem. Normalcy has since been restored in the affected area.
“FAAN is Committed to our core values of Safety, Security and Comfort.”
