Lagos—The Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN,  Saleh Dunoma has said the rules banning indiscriminate parking of petrol tankers at Lagos and other airports are still in force and would be enforced in the event of any breach.

A statement yesterday by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, FAAN, Mr Yakubu Dati said “The Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria,  Dunoma reiterated the resolution of the Authority to ensure absolute compliance of all tanker drivers to the rules of engagement,   as far as parking and operating around the airport environment is concerned. “

According to Dati, Dunoma noted that the notorious act of parking tankers along the airport road would no longer be tolerated as the act was capable of jeopardizing safety and security of the airport, which would adversely affect airport users.

He also said that an adequate parking space had already been provided for the tanker drivers by the Authority and there was a standing agreement between the Authority and leaders of the tanker drivers’ union to only make use of the aviation designated trailer parks for parking purposes, except during loading or discharging of fuel at the tank farms.’’
