The Federal Airports Authority
of Nigeria has listed the six agencies approved to interface with passengers at
the country’s airports henceforth. In a “Public Notice” issued, FAAN informed
airlines, passengers and the general public of the new development.
The Public Notice reads: “The
Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria hereby serves notice to Airlines,
passengers and the general public that in compliance with the provisions of the
Executive Order recently approved by the Presidency, only the under-listed
security agencies have been given approval to interface with passengers at our
Terminals.”
The affected agencies are:
Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS), The Nigerian Customs Services (NCS),
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), State Security Services (SSS),
Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit (EOD) and Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine
Services (NAQS).
As a result, the Authority has
reconfigured the affected agencies’ orientation at the airports as follows:
Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS) and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) will now operate at Arrival and Departure halls; Nigeria Customs
Services (NCS) will operate at the Arrival Hall only; the State Security
Services (SSS) and Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Services (NAQS) will
operate at the Cargo Terminals only, while the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit,
(EOD) will be operating at the baggage hall.
Consequently, all agencies
required by law to be on uniform while on duty must be fully kitted at all
times with their name tags conspicuously visible and must remain within the
confines of their responsibilities.
Management advice all affected
agencies to ensure strict compliance.
FAAN is committed to serve you
better.
