The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has announced the disbandment of the security joint inspections table.
The Minister said the rule was cancelled to end the much criticised corrupt practices and unnecessary passenger delays at Nigerian terminals, especially during the Yuletide season.
Keyamo said in a post on X on Thursday, that the decision was aimed at stopping complaints of harassment by travelers by security and other government agencies stationed at the airport.
He wrote, ”Yesterday, I approved some far-reaching measures by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) aimed at curbing the menace of harassment of travellers by various agencies of government stationed at our international airports. We have received too many complaints, and it is time to act decisively!”
This decision was also contained in a position paper by the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Olubunmi Kuku, dated December 2nd and endorsed by the minister.
