We can’t afford N18m cars under Tinubu — Cab drivers protest FAAN’s 2020 vehicle policy

Airport cab drivers have protested against the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, directive requiring operators to use 2020 model vehicles and above.

In a viral video on X, the cab drivers said they can’t afford the 2020 vehicle brands – estimated to cost N18 million and above – permitted by the new policy amid the economic challenges faced by Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The protesting drivers, speaking in Yoruba, urged Nigerians and President Tinubu to intervene.

“This is what we are facing. Nigerians should help us intervene. They said we should go and buy a vehicle from 2020 or above. Vehicles that cost N18 million and above, with the way Nigeria is now,” one of the drivers said.

The driver also alleged that FAAN planned to introduce an app for airport taxi operations, pleading with officials to draw the President’s attention to their plight.

“There is no job in the country, with what we are going through… Pity us Nigerians. Let this go viral—Nigerians, pity us, help us. Intervene,” the driver added.

FAAN can reduce the year to maybe 2016 models because Majority of them might not be able to afford it if they insist on 2020 car model

But the drivers also have other options

Why can't Faan purchase this cars and give it to the cab drivers to be paid back installmentally

Tinubu should stop forcing his hardship policies on Nigerians

Governance of segregation and classism in the midst of lack and poverty. Invariably saying that the Akara, corn and Kuli kuli sellers will never access the airport for as long as they are in that line of business. They are blinded by their 80-vehicle SUV convoys that they enjoy on taxpayer's money.

Keep quiet.

You dont even know what the useless economy is talking about. A car of 2016 now has an import duty tax and charges that are almost 300%, since the failure you support became President.

At times I believe you supporters of APC need to be dragged senselessly in public.

Also..na Yoruba full airport as taxi drivers and operators of private cab services.

They vote Tinubu, they cry blood.

Simple grin

This narrative gets boring dear. You can't claim that tribes didn't vote for your candidate and still claim that he won the elections but was rigged out. Choose one and be consistent.

When you chose to drink poison because your Tribesman served it.

Awalokan is not yet done with Nigerians because the same people who voted this terrible government are still defending them.

The Cab drivers should better take the First Lady's advice.

Other businesses like Akara and Kuli Kuli is there for them to start.

Honestly this is a good move because the safety of traveler are more important. If you can't afford it then do your cab driving elsewhere and not at the airport. Speaking from experience which I won't explain here.
