The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with MTN Nigeria, has officially launched free, high-speed WiFi services for travelers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) and the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, as a measure to modernize Nigeria’s aviation infrastructure. The internet service was launched at MMIA Terminal 2, Lagos, by the Managing Director of FAAN, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, who was represented by the Director of Airport Operations, Capt. Abdullahi Mahmood. Also present was Lynda Saint-Nwafor, the Chief Enterprise Business Officer of MTN Nigeria, who represented the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Karl Toriola.
The WiFi service, which is free for passengers and airport users, will be extended to the MMIA temporary terminal and other international airports across the country within the next three months.
Mrs. Kuku, in a statement by Henry Agbebire, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at FAAN, described the launch as a milestone for FAAN and a benchmark for digital infrastructure and passenger experience at Nigerian airports. She added that the initiative aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the transformation drive of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo.
The representative of MTN Nigeria, Saint-Nwafor, assured that the service would be reliable, secure, and efficient for all users. She commended the FAAN management team for its collaboration and foresight in ensuring the successful completion of the project.
