FAAN Vows To Deal With Bribe-Seeking Officials At Airports

The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has vowed to deal with bribe-seeking workers at Nigeria’s airports. FAAN said workers found guilty will be barred for life from working at airport terminals across the country if caught.

Capt. Rabiu Yadudu, the FAAN Managing Director, 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 the organisation 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.
