The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has warned VIP passengers that they could be banned from flying if they disobey protocols put in place by authorities. The agency revealed this in a statement days after it accused both Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and former Zamfara State governor, Abdulaziz Yari, of violating safety protocols put in place to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
The agency called on highly-placed individuals and government officials to not only comply with the rules, but also provide leadership for other air travelers, by projecting good conduct, and protecting public safety.
“These protocols are now part of the new normal all over the world, and no person, no matter how highly placed, is exempted from them, else he would be denied access to our facilities. “FAAN wishes to restate the need for all air travelers to strictly adhere to the security, Public health and operational protocols put in place to make air travel in the country safe, secure, and efficient, especially in the midst of this pandemic.”
