FAAN Advises All Travelers to Report Airport Officials Demanding for Cash

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has urged all passengers to resist and report any cash demand from airport officials.

This was disclosed by the aviation authority on Sunday in a statement released via its twitter handle @FAAN_Official, titled “FAAN OFFERS NO CASH SERVICES TO PASSENGERS …URGES PASSENGERS TO RESIST AND REPORT SUCH REQUESTS ON THE SPOT.”

Recently, an allegation was levied against some officials of Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja for demanding cash from returning passengers of evacuation flight.

FAAN disclosed that all COVID-19 measures at the airports are free and it doesn’t attract any charges, as there is an on-going investigation at the airport.

The statement read, “The Authority will also like to use this medium to appeal to passengers to always ensure adherence to all safety and security measures at the airports.

“As the nation’s airports begin to reopen gradually for flight operations, we advise passengers to desist from giving money and to report any official from any agency that requests money under any guise.”

“Arriving passengers are expected to have gone through the COVID-19 test before boarding their flights from ports of departure, therefore they should not pay any money whatsoever to any airport official for the purpose.”
