The Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has prohibited any airport official, who has
neither undergone the mandatory airline drivers training, nor certified
appropriately to drive on the airside of the nation’s airports.
In a statement issued
by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs of FAAN, Henrietta Yakubu, this is
necessary to ensure operational safety following a recently averted airside
incident involving a Customs official at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
“With this directive, all airline
officials, Security agencies, ground handling companies, and other stakeholders
are hereby put on notice to ensure that their officials, that have airside
related roles, and will need to drive, are sent to FAAN’S training department
to undergo this mandatory training before been assigned to duty.
“The Authority will no longer take lightly
any act of violation of this directive, in the interest of safety,” she added.
