A viral video showing the poor conditions at the Benin City Airport has sparked public criticism of airport authorities. In the video, a passenger laments the total darkness at the airport for over 8 hours, forcing travelers to use phone lights to check-in.

The narrator expresses frustration, emphasizing the dire conditions passengers are experiencing as they navigate the airport in darkness. Despite the difficulties, the video captures the determination of travelers trying to check in.

The incident has drawn attention to the irony that while the federal government recently renamed the airport after the revered late Oba of Benin, the airport itself is dysfunctionaland neglected.

Many online have slammed the hypocrisy of naming airports after heroes while failing to invest in proper infrastructure. Comparisons were made to the N15 billion budgeted for a new VP lodge and N4 billion renovation of a rarely-used VP building.

Commentators highlighted that funds are readily available for offices of public officials but basic amenities like electricity cannot be provided for ordinary citizens using public airports.

Analysts assert that the Benin airport debacle underscores the urgent need to overhaul facilities and services at airports nationwide to meet basic requirements, especially as people are traveling for Christmas.
