The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in partnership with MTN Nigeria has inaugurated free WiFi services at two major international airports: Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Terminal 2 in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

The launch at MMIA Terminal 2 was led by FAAN Managing Director Olubunmi Kuku, who was represented by the Director of Airport Operations, Capt. Abdullahi Mahmood. MTN Nigeria was represented by Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Lynda Saint-Nwafor, standing in for CEO Karl Toriola.

The new WiFi service is free for passengers and airport users and is expected to be extended to the MMIA temporary terminal and other international airports across the country over the next three months.

According to a statement from FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, Mrs. Kuku described the launch as a “milestone for FAAN” and a benchmark for digital infrastructure and passenger experience at Nigerian airports. She emphasized that the partnership with MTN demonstrates the potential of effective Public-Private Partnership (PPP) alignment to modernize infrastructure while strengthening the country’s digital economy.

“This 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,” she said.

MTN’s representative, Saint-Nwafor, assured that the WiFi service would be reliable, secure, and efficient for all users. She also commended FAAN’s management team for their collaboration and foresight in bringing the project to fruition.

The rollout signals a significant step in improving passenger experience and modernizing airport digital infrastructure in Nigeria, reflecting growing collaboration between government agencies and private technology providers.
