Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, FAAN, who confirmed the development, said the exercise was in conformity with the Standards and Recommended Practices on Safety.
Yakubu said the drill, which began at 8.20 p.m., was aimed at evaluating and ascertaining the airport’s level of preparedness, in case of emergencies.
“Consequently, the authority will like to appeal to the public, especially those residing around the airport not to entertain any fear, as the exercise is only a mock,” she said.
