The Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Monday announced that drivers are prohibited
from picking up passengers at the frontage of airport terminals but are to pick
them up only at car parks.
This was disclosed in a statement
on Monday by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Henrietta Yakubu.
Yakubu in the statement said
drivers must park and wait inside the car parks while arriving passengers walk
down to the car parks to board their vehicles.
“The Authority will like to
emphasize that in line with government protocols, arriving passengers are to
walk down to designated car parks to board their vehicles. No driver is
permitted to pick up arriving passenger(s) at the frontage of the terminals.
“All drivers must park and wait
inside the car parks while arriving passengers walk down to the car parks to
board their vehicles.
“For departing passengers, drivers
are only allowed to drop off passengers in front of the terminals. They are not
permitted to wait for any reason after dropping their passengers, it is only a
“Drop Off” zone,” the statement read in part.
The agency, therefore, called for
compliance with all laid down protocols on COVID-19 to ensure the safety of all
airport users to ease facilitation and enhance the safety of all airport users.
“The Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria (FAAN) hereby advises passengers, drivers, and other airport users,
particularly those at the General Aviation Terminal, Lagos, to always comply
with all laid down protocols on COVID-19 to ensure safety of all airport
users,” the statement added.
