FAAN Boss Initiates Public Awareness Campaign on Access Gate 

The Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs Kuku has initiated a comprehensive public awareness campaign to ensure that all airport users are well-informed about the new policy on access gate fees.

The FAAN MD affirmed that implementing this mandate immediately will address one of the key revenue leakages the new management is determined to eliminate.

Speaking on the new policy, she commended President Bola Tinubu and the Minister for their proactive role in helping to give vent to the use of technology in order to shore up revenue, prevent leakages, and reduce the abuse of privileges by VIPs.

She emphasised that “FAAN is currently poised to leverage technology to intensify its revenue drive. The new mandate also provides some protection for FAAN staff, who are often bullied and railroaded by VIPs and military personnel.”

Mrs Kuku also mentioned that, though the implementation of the E-tag regime in Lagos and Abuja international airports and the non-exclusion of VIPs in the payment for access gate fees at all airports in Nigeria is immediate, efforts are being made to ameliorate the traffic gridlock that may be experienced at the early stages of the implementation of the directive, especially in Lagos and Abuja airports.

According to her, “The good news is that all government organisations, the military and VIPs are fully in support of Mr President on this directive. FAAN is, therefore, guaranteed maximum support from all sides.”

Mrs Kuku is currently on a mission to reposition FAAN as she prioritizes key strategic reforms in line with the 5-point agenda of the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development.
