The Federal Airport
Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has asked its staff to stay off the road leading to
Kaduna International Airport at early and late hours over the current state of
insecurity on the route.
It said the airport
road has become unsafe owing to the activities of gunmen.
In an internal memo
dated March 2 and signed on behalf of the manager by Dali D. J., an assistant
manager, FAAN asked staff to avoid early or late movements along the road to
the airport.
It said a staff
member and other commuters were recently attacked on the route.
The memo read: “The
current insecurity state around our airport axis/road cannot be over
emphasised. The very recent attack on a FAAN staff and other commuters along
the airport road close to NDA is a clear
testimony. Hence it has become imperative to advice all airport staff to
completely avoid early /late hours movement along the airport road.
“All FAAN
departments are to adhere strictly to FAAN HQ early directive on duty roster.
“Other agencies and
companies in the airport are advised to take advantage of the NOTAM (notice to
air man) issued by NAMA to avoid movement of staff along the airport road at
late/very early hours of the day.
“As shared
responsibility, our family members should also be sensitised on this and
several other security tips which include but not limited to; Moving in convoy,
control of speech, maintaining privacy, not stopping for unusual scenes at any
time of the day especially at well known flash points.
“As it is widely
said and believed prevention is better than cure.”
Kaduna is one of the
states plagued by insecurity — with persistent attacks on residents by gunmen
and kidnappers.
On Sunday, some
villages in Igabi and Giwa local government areas of the state were attacked.
More than 50 lives were reportedly lost in the attack.
