Flights Resumption: No More VIP Consideration At Airports - Sirika by jarawa: 6:42am On Jul 03, 2020
Minister of Aviation Senator Hadi Sirika last night said as flights resume on Monday, aides of VIP passengers would henceforth be stopped from accessing the terminal.

Sirika said airport officials have the right to stop every VIP accessing the terminal with his aides, adding, “The only VIP we cannot stop is Mr. President and he doesn’t use our terminal.”

The minister spoke last night at the virtual stakeholders’ meeting attended by representatives of all airlines and allied service providers. At the meeting, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said any airline or aviation service provider that failed to fulfill the requirements set by the regulatory agency would not get approval to start operations.

Director-General of the NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu, however, disclosed that the agency would on Friday (today) begin to get approval to start flights. Sirika had on Wednesday announced that domestic flights would commence on Monday, July 8 with Lagos and Abuja airports. The meeting reviewed the readiness and preparedness of the industry to restart on Monday.

While responding to the issue of VIP aides causing a stir at the airport, Sirika disclosed that it was no longer business as usual, saying all VIPs were expected to carry their own bag by themselves. Sirika disclosed further that he had written to all the ministers, heads of government parastatals and agencies, traditional rulers, chief executives of banks, among other VIPs to update them on the new protocols.

“It is no longer business as usual. There is no more VIP consideration at the airport. Anytime I’m traveling, I have always carried my bag by myself,” he said.

Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) Capt. Rabiu Yadudu said the authority had installed close circuit television (CCTV) in all areas of the airports to ensure safety and security and enforce compliance with all the protocols.

I hope they would hold on to this. With the way our lawmakers treated Keyamo, many of them are power intoxicated.

Easier said dan done.. With how Power drunk our VIPs are and how corrupt d system is, we will always have those who are excepted from obeying d law.. In a country making noise about social distancing and face masks and even prosecuting offenders, we saw a video of a sitting governor singing and dancing without any social distancing or facemasks and as God will have it, he has successfully distributed d virus to as many ppl as possible

PRESIDENT BUHARI & MINISTER OF POWER PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. YOU CANNOT BE GOVERNING A COUNTRY AND A SCAM LIKE THIS IS GOING ON. HABA!!!

ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION SCAM IN NIGERIA

You Bought , A Pole, You Bought The Cable & You Bought The Meter. And You Contributed Money To Buy Or Replace The Community Transformer.

As Soon As You Have Done All These, They Automatically Become Their Property.

Then The Fraudster Electricity Distribution Companies Will, Without Taking The Meter Reading, Send Outrageous Estimated Bills To You For Power Never Consumed. And If You Dare Raise A Question Against Their Barefaced Robbery, They Will Come And Remove The Cable You Bought With Your Money As Their Property.

Then You Will Be Charged What They Call Re-connection Fee To Get Your Cable Fixed Back.

And You Will Have To Bribe Their Personnel To replace A melted Fuse Or You Will Remain Perpetually In Darkness And Still Pay The Bill At The End Of The Month.

The Most Heinous Part Of Their Corporate Crime Against The People Is The Revenue Target They Set For Their Personnel As To How Much They Intend To Rob Nigerians Every Month.

Let this post go round, this daylight robbery from Electricity Distribution Companies Must Stop.

Adesanya Anuoluwapo ibukunoluwa.
