Osinbajo’s surprise visit forces FAAN MD to order facilities’ repair

The Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr Saleh Dunoma, has instructed engineers to begin repair works on all facilities at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

This follows the unscheduled inspection visit made on Thursday to the airport by the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo.

Dunoma gave the directive after inspecting the facilities at the airport on Sunday.
Dunoma, who was accompanied by other top FAAN management staff, inspected the escalators, conveyor belts, departure and arrival terminals and other sections of the airport.
He said: “There are few things we need to fix immediately. I say immediately; immediately means immediately.
“This is a Presidential Directive. We will not waste any time and that is why you see us working on a weekend.

“We will still work tomorrow. We just have to come up with strategic implementation plans so that we don’t disrupt operations.
“Other areas are the toilet facilities and some other external facilities that were affected.
“We have a contract on the chillers but funding has been a problem for us. However, we are pushing to see that it is fixed.”
