The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria(FAAN) said the trending notion that its security officers demand bribes before allowing airport users access into the terminal is false and unfounded. A press statement signed by Yakubu Henrietta, FAAN General Manager Corporate Affairs noted that the airport is a public facility and no charge is required from any genuine user to access the premises.
It however confirmed that access might be restricted or controlled some times in order to safeguard Civil Aviation against acts of unlawful interference in ‘our Airports.’ “FAAN advises that all passengers and airport users who might want to transact some business at the airports not to give money to anyone to gain access into the airport and report related cases to appropriate authorities,” the statement noted, adding that the authority is committed to her core values of Safety, Security and Comfort.”
