‘Puddles everywhere’ — traveller laments leaky roof at Lagos int’l airport

 

A Nigerian traveller has raised concerns over the state of infrastructure at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.

 

Dami Ebele, a director and scriptwriter, made the complaints in a tweet on Sunday.

 

She said the roofs at the airport are leaking, adding that the baggage carousel is also broken.

 

“The entire Murtala Muhammed International Airport is leaking. Everywhere,” she tweeted.

 

 “Emirates had to give them a blanket to wipe the entrance into the ramp from the plane.

 

“They had to move the AC from the wall because water was leaking on it.

 

“Puddles everywhere. Wild. Nigeria can’t be real.

 

 “How can an airport not have central cooling system? The immigration place was smelling like piss.

 

“Then the baggage carousel? It’s broken. It’s even pushing bags off the carousel. And I saw this carousel when it was new a few years ago.

 

“Maintenance culture… zero. How can this be the first place someone sees when they fly in?”
