The Federal Government has upgraded the Ibadan Airport electrical substation to 33KVA to boost power supply.
The Ibadan Airport Manager, Ojo Adedeji Afolabi FCA, while commissioning the dedicated power line project on behalf of FAAN Managing Director, Kabir Muhammed Yusuf said the upgrading of the airport’s electrical substation was a laudable one that will ensure regular power supply and drastically reduce diesel consumption.
He expressed appreciation to management of FAAN for sponsoring the substation project to Ibadan Airport, even as he described regular power supply as an essential mechanism for smooth running of airport operations.
According to the Airport Manager, the newly installed substation is capable of supplying 15 hours constant power supply to the airport.
He appealed to the Ibadan Electric Distribution Company (IBEDC) to provide power to the airport during operation hours.
Before now, power was being supplied to the airport through 11KVA, which had been subjecting the airport to erratic power supply with huge dependently on diesel powered generator as the main source of power.
The recent upgrading to 33 KVA industrial supply will boost airport operations and is capable of supplying power foreight to 20 hours daily depending on Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) electrical allocation.
