The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has stated
that bribe-seeking workers at Nigeria’s airports will be barred for life from
working at airport terminals across the country if caught.
The FAAN Managing Director, Capt. Rabiu Yadudu said this
while addressing newsmen in Abuja after an emergency meeting with FAAN’s
management over rising cases of bribery at airports.
Recall that an American vlogger, Sabbatical in a viral video
called out airport officials for requesting money at different points.
He went ahead to describe the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport (MMIA) in Lagos as “extreme corruption.
Yadudu lamented that the indiscipline at the airports and
videos showing extortion is embarrassing to FAAN and Nigeria.
He said, “Recently, we had videos showing the acts of
indiscipline and extortions at our airports.
“They are embarrassing to FAAN, the aviation industry, and
Nigeria. So we had a management meeting comprising all FAAN airport managers,
with the Special adviser to the President on ease of doing business.
“The resolutions from this meeting will be escalated at all
airports across the country. Any violation or acts of indiscipline recorded or
caught FAAN will escalate.”
He announced that FAAN will write to companies and any
violator caught henceforth will lose his or her On-Duty Card (ODC) permanently,
meaning a loss of access to airport terminals.
