The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has issued a travel advisory, warning passengers and commuters to expect significant traffic congestion on routes leading to Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos.
The agency said the development was due to an ongoing protest by the Farmcraft Centre for the Blind.

Witnesses said the group carried placards and chanted slogans to draw attention to their grievances.
FAAN urged travellers to check traffic updates before setting out, confirm their flight status with airlines for any schedule changes, and consider using alternative routes to avoid heavily congested areas.
