712 billion naira to rebuild Lagos airport. Yesterday the server room caught fire and burned upward.

Six people injured. Fourteen air traffic controllers trapped in the control tower, evacuated by crane. British Airways diverted to Abuja. Lufthansa and Emirates diverted to Equatorial Guinea.

Terminal 1 of Murtala Muhammed International Airport caught fire on Monday afternoon. This is the same terminal in the middle of a 712 billion naira federal renovation, funded through subsidy removal revenue. The fire started in the server room on the first floor. It burned upward.

THISDAY reports this isn't the first fire at Terminal 1 in the last five years. FAAN is installing a temporary control tower. The cause hasn't been determined.

Who holds the renovation contract? Who inspects the work? When a terminal under active reconstruction catches fire in the server room and burns through multiple floors, what does that tell you about how the renovation is being managed?

FAAN says investigations are ongoing.
