The intention is good, but the timing is wrong, cos we av not put measures in place to tackle drug trafficking, d scanners in the airport can't detect narcotics. So sm people will definitely take advantage of that.

At the departure lounge, I was shocked that in the year 2017, I was given a small form to hand-fill my luggage tag shocked with pen!

Even passenger luggage were measured with bathroom scales

The airport banner "Arrivals" was as tiny as something written with an eye pencil.

Dear PYO, please look into these too. Its very embarrasing cry


All that is still manageable na!
Sometimes in November on arriving MMA, we moved from the plane to the arrivals through one mysterious tunnel, as we entered we were greeted with the stench from the lavoratories/laterines we call convenience .... OMG! I wanted to faint... But guess what that was just a tip of the "mount Kilimanjaro"

The whole place was DARK... as in pitch dark.... We had to use our instinct to navigate through,some people fell down coz they didn't see a stair that end down, this almost caused a stampede... Our papers were checked with phone torchlight by customs. The icing on the cake is that me as a citizen of Nigeria was held in a queue of about 300 people for over an hour all in the name of stamping our passports, while foreigners had their own queue moving at fast as my eye blinks.
Imagine this when you're coming back from a country where you were in minority but things work so well you were accorded with respect.

PLEASE SOMEONE REMIND ME THE BENEFITS OF BEING A NIGERIAN.

it's all messed up!

Hahahaha
I don't know which is worse, your dark tunnel or ours. We landed at 1pm. The plane parked in the hanger which is normal. But no tunnel at all at all. We had to walk that distance from the hanger to the reception under 1 o'clock hot sun with our luggages! The sudden change in temperature from aircooled plance to okpokpo sun grin Imagine the rude welcome. SMH

My sister, it is not well o
Anyway, let's laugh it out cheesy cheesy

FAAN bans luggage screening at MMIA departure hall

Published June 7, 2017

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria says checking of travellers luggage will no longer be done at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The Managing Director, FAAN, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, said this was part of the plan to ensure the implementation of the Executive Order recently issued by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.



Dunoma made this known after a meeting with all the participating agencies at the airport on Tuesday.

“The Executive Order does not give room for pre-checks on luggage. All checks should be done in designated areas. Luggage should not be checked at the departure hall,” he said.

Dunoma added that there would be no compromise with the procedures and that whatever security procedure or security checks the agency would adopt would not be compromised.

He said, “We have to meet the deadline set by the Executive Order. There are strategies in line with the order, but the concerned agencies need to meet regularly to ensure that these strategies are adhered to and improved.

“Concentration is on the Lagos airport because it is the key airport due to its size, complexity and passenger traffic. If we get it right in Lagos, we will get it right in other airports. Once we do that, I believe all the other airports will be easy for us.”

Dunoma stated that the participating agencies, including the Nigeria Police, Department of State Security, Quarantine Services, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigeria Immigration Services, Nigeria Customs Services and FAAN Aviation Security, among others, would implement the directive successfully.

“All participating agencies are ready to key into this big committee set up for the implementation. Everybody is contributing positively. From all indications, all hands are on deck to make sure the Executive Order is implemented successfully. FAAN does not envisage any problem at all, and it is fully committed to give all participating agencies its full support to close any obstacle that may arise,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has directed all aviation safety inspectors to monitor the level of compliance with the Executive Order at the airports, in addition to their statutory oversight responsibilities.

According to the agency, the directive given by the Director-General, NCAA, Capt. Muhtar Usman, is enshrined in the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, 2015 (Nig.CARs 2015).

The NCAA said it had also put in place adequate measures to ensure full and sustained compliance with the Executive Orders at the airports.

The regulatory agency said in a statement signed by its General Manager, Public Relations, Mr. Sam Adurogboye, that all aviation parastatals under the Federal Ministry of Aviation, including the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, Nigeria Meteorological Agency and Accident Investigation Bureau, had since commenced compliance with the orders.
