this The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in partnership with MTN Nigeria, provides free WiFi services at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Terminal 2, Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

this The service officially launched at the Lagos terminal on Thursday.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku, who was present at the event, said the Director of Airport Operations, Abdullahi Mahmood, said the initiative was part of efforts to improve passenger experience and expand digital infrastructure at Nigeria’s airports.

According to FAAN, the service will be expanded to the MMIA temporary terminal and other international airports across the country within the next three months.

Officials said the project is a public-private partnership between FAAN and MTN Nigeria.

MTN Nigeria chief corporate business officer Lynda Saint-Nwafor, who spoke at the event on behalf of the company’s chief executive Karl Toriola, said the company would ensure services remain reliable and secure.

While FAAN described the launch as a step towards modernizing the airport’s facilities, details of the financing model and long-term maintenance structure were not disclosed at the time of launch.

Airport users have long complained about limited or unreliable internet connectivity at Nigeria’s main terminals, especially during peak travel periods.

However, FAAN did not immediately say whether the free service would be time-limited or bandwidth-limited per user.
