Generator Failure Causes British Airways Plane to Land in Darkness at

A British Airways flight from London landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja in darkness early yesterday following a generator failure, Daily Trust learnt. The plane, which was carrying Minister of Agriculture Akinwunmi Adesina and many other passengers, landed safely at about 5.55am.
After the incident, Adesina, believing it was caused by an outage in public power supply, reported the matter to Minister of Power Prof. Barth Nnaji.

Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, Deputy General Manager for Public Affairs at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), confirmed the incident. She said because of unstable public power supply, it was the practice of FAAN to switch to generators whenever a plane was landing. But the generator “tripped off for two minutes” when the BA flight was landing, adding that at that time there was also a power outage from PHCN, Mrs. Yakubu said, quoted by NAN.

Minister oof Power, Barth Nnaji will be launching an investigation, my guess is a committee will be set up pata pata e.. Hehehe, #YeyeDeySmell
