Toke Makinwa, a Nigerian actress and media figure, has spoken out about her bad experience with insufficient ventilation at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
Makinwa tweeted on Monday that she was greeted by heat at the airport’s arrival hall, which lacked working air conditioning.
The host of Gulder Ultimate Search also expressed concern for the officers who had to deal with the heat on a daily basis.
“Touch down Lagos Nigeria and the heat at the airport is insane, why will the A/C at arrivals not work??? The fans blowing hot air and the officers having to work under such circumstances is sad. What a country.
“I’m standing at arrivals dripping in sweat and all I can think is the officers in the box who have to endure this daily.
“Like we have all just accepted this as normal cos we go into our cars with A/C’s after, but these people who work here under such harsh conditions are human too,” she commented.
The actress also suggested that the officers’ working conditions may be the reason why “they take out their anger and impatience on travelers.”
She wrote, “You enter Nigeria and pick up stress.”
