Easter: Lagos airport witnesses large passengers
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the federal government had declared April 19 and 22 to mark the Easter celebration by Christians in commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The upsurge of the outbound passengers led to an increase in airfares due to lack of seats on available flights. “This is a long holiday and many people want to take advantage of it to go home, see their loved ones and settle other issues. Mr Uko, however, urged domestic airlines to improve their services by reducing incidents of delayed and cancelled flights.
