The Management of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has suspended activities of Airport taxi operators at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja with immediate effect.
In a statement by its Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, FAAN said the decision to suspend activities of the cab operators became imperative after the two factions of the body of car hires could not amicably resolve their differences which have impacted negatively on passengers’ movements.
“The FAAN wishes to inform the general public that the airport car hire service at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja has been suspended with immediate effect.
“This is as a result of the unresolved factional dispute amongst the car hire operators which has been affecting airport car hire service operations,” Funtua said.
The statement which however regretted consequences of the suspension on passengers and airport users, urged affected stakeholders to look for secured alternative means pending the time rift would be resolved.
“Consequent upon this suspension, FAAN Management advises the general public and all airport users, particularly our esteemed passengers to use secured alternative means of transportation or E-hailing services in and out of the airport.
“The Management of FAAN regrets any inconvenience this necessary suspension may cause our esteemed passengers, airport users and the general public. Normal Car Hire Services resumes as soon as their differences are resolved,” the statement said.
