In the on going re-modelling project across the nation’s airports, the Federal Government has announced that the issue of heat at the international terminal of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, will be addressed.
in a statement on Tuesday by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, it was stated that the lingering issue with the cooling system at the airport would be resolved in due time as three new chillers would soon be installed at the airport.
The statement added that the government opted for a complete replacement of the old cooling system as a lasting solution to the epileptic cooling system at the terminal which was installed over 32 years ago and had become difficult to maintain.
The statement said, “The procurement and installation of the three new chillers, due to be completed within the first quarter of 2014 is expected to substantially improve the cooling system and thereby enhance passenger comfort at the terminal, in line with FAAN’s mission of providing customer-centric services at all our airport.
“This will also complement other efforts being made by the Federal Government, under the Transformation Agenda in the aviation industry, to modernize facilities at the Nigerian airports, in line with international standards and best practices.”
