Individuals Will Not Be Allowed To Escort Passengers To The Airport - FAAN by ikorodureporta: 10:29am On Dec 19, 2019
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), says no individual or agency will be allowed to escort passengers into airports, henceforth.

Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, FAAN General Manager, Corporate Affairs, said in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja that the move was part of measures to protect passengers and strengthen the ease of doing business in the country.

“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has directed that only its protocol services and designated Ministry of Foreign Affairs officers will be allowed to escort passengers or to conduct any type of protocol activity after immigration process for departing passengers, and before immigration process for arriving passengers at the airports.

“Consequently, in the interest of our common safety and comfort, all passengers, agencies, and other stakeholders are requested to kindly align their airport activities accordingly.

“In a similar vein, passengers are also advised to please kindly desist from coming to the airports with groups of friends and relatives,” she said.

According to her, the action is aimed at enhancing the safety, comfort, and efficient facilitation of human and vehicular traffic at the airports.

Meaning?? sad Another senseless approach.Is this how it's being done in civilised settings? Has the NASS vetted this silly policy?

Why not deplore CCTVs, drones in addition to the human surveillance of airport security.Do FAAN/Nigerian govt fully know the internal or diplomatic consequence of this action?

Why Una no dey fit read? Not everything you whine about o . . .


“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has directed that only its protocol services and designated Ministry of Foreign Affairs officers will be allowed to escort passengers or to conduct any type of protocol activity after immigration process for departing passengers, and before immigration process for arriving passengers at the airports."

The above almost does not happen in any right thinking country.

“In a similar vein, passengers are also advised to please kindly desist from coming to the airports with groups of friends and relatives,” she said.

The above is fast becoming standard security protocol in almost all countries.

Why bring your whole village to the departure or arrival, na market?

Since 9/11, airports are actually high security risk area that requires due monitoring.

Ironically, folks that've never been to one would yell the loudest.

Into the Airport as in what section of the airport?!
Departure or car park?!

In a similar vein, passengers are also advised to please kindly desist from coming to the airports with groups of friends and relatives,” she said
This is part of our culture!
We bet it happens in saner climes also.

But it all now depends on what section of the Airport they are talking about.

In Conclusion : Incomplete news.
Dear Ikorodu reporta,
kindly Let us know when you have the full details from FAAN, telling you categorically where in the Airport they are talking about.

Thanks!

Please, FAAN need to upgrade facilities at the MMI airport. I travel out and it's a big shame to continue to operate in a primate school classroom as airport.

What are we supposed to make out of this? How will that help the ministry of Aviation? That's not a good news to those my friends doing side hustle at the airport.

And me that like visiting those airport eatries, take pictures, feed my eyes, gist with some travelers, make international friends and many more....so nothing for me again.


Madam Yakubu, you need to do something about this.
