FAAN Steps In After Airport Tollgate Crisis
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has issued about 100,000 airport access cards following the disruption and confusion recently experienced around airport tollgates.
The decision forms part of efforts to manage movement and restore order at major airport entrances.
The development came after complaints from travellers, workers and drivers who faced delays and congestion at airport entry points.
The authority moved to introduce the access cards as a way to organise traffic and reduce the pressure caused by large numbers of vehicles approaching the tollgates.
Officials say the cards are meant for airport staff, service providers and regular operators who need frequent access to restricted areas within the airport environment.
By identifying authorised users, the system is expected to speed up entry and limit unnecessary traffic inside the airport premises.
The move is also aimed at preventing a repeat of the chaos that recently disrupted activities around airport tollgates.
With the cards now in circulation, the authority hopes the new arrangement will improve security checks and make access to airport facilities more orderly.
