The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has indicated its readiness to evacuate all illegal taxi cabs and truck owners operating within the airport vicinity soon.

This is coming just as the Managing Director of FAAN, Mr. George Uriesi, recently set up a committee on the traffic situation at the airport. The committee has submitted its report to him for  approval and appropriate implementation.

General Manager, Public Affairs, FAAN, Mr. Akin Olukunle, who spoke with our correspondent pointed out that the current traffic jam at the airport, most especially at the hajj and cargo areas of the airport, will soon be a thing of the past. Olukunle described the bottleneck on the road as an eyesore and assured that the management of FAAN would ensure that those who have no business to do at the airport were restricted from gaining access to the complex.

“The issue of congestion especially of the fuel tankers is a concern to us. We are working on that. I can tell you that FAAN is working seriously on the congestion at the airport, most especially the yellow buses that are not supposed to be there and have turned that place to their abode. We have discussed it even at the management level that whatever they are doing right now is illegal.”
