Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) the operators of Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2, MMA2, Lagos, has linked the temporary water leakages experienced on Tuesday to an unusual heavy rainfall and storm experienced during the day.
The terminal operators said its maintenance team has promptly responded and restored normalcy.
in a media statement signed by Head, Corporate Communications at BASL., Mrs Ajoke Yinka-Olawuyi informed that the temporary leakages were caused by abnormal weather conditions which put pressure on the facility and forced water to move in through an unusual direction.
“The temporary water leakage today due to an unusual rainfall. This occurred when heavy rainfall combined with abnormal wind patterns directed water toward previously unaffected structural elements of the building.
“This created pressure conditions that forced rainwater through weatherproofing systems that have performed adequately in all previous weather events,” Yinka Olawuyi explained.
The BASL image maker who confirmed that normalcy has been restored at the terminal, noted that operations were not interrupted during the period the glitch lasted.
“The terminal maintenance department responded immediately, and water removal operations have since been completed.
“The terminal remains open and operational, with the affected area fully restored,” she recalled.
The management of the first private airport terminal in Nigeria however said a comprehensive facility assessment is already underway to prevent similar incidents during future extreme weather events.
