Federal Government through Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has warned all airport users to cease purchase of access gate ticket from Messrs I Cube Nigeria Limited.

In a statement sent by FAAN on Monday, the authority stated that its attention had been drawn to the fact that some members of the public were still buying Murtala Muhammed Airport access gate stickers from Messrs I Cube Nigeria Limited.

“The general public is hereby notified that the Authority has severed all business relationships with Messrs I Cube Nigeria Limited.

“Consequently, any individual or organisation consummating any form of business transaction with Messrs I Cube Nigeria Limited on this facility is doing so at his or her own peril.

“The general public is by this notice advised to contact the accounts department of Murtala Muhammed International Airport for any business transaction or inquiry on this facility,” the authority said.

Last week, FAAN ordered I-Cube to cease collection of toll fares from motorists and vacate the Murtala International Airport access gate with immediate effect because the contract with the said company had expired.

In a letter dated February 4, 2020, and signed by Rabiu Yadudu, managing director of FAAN, and copied to the Airforce commandant, MMIA, Commissioner of Police, Airport command, director of State Security Services, all directors of FAAN and all the aviation unions, FAAN said the concessionaire should immediately vacate the access gate as the agency had resolved to temporarily take over.

Leke Abajingi, manager of I-Cube, had stated that the letter from FAAN was received and that the company would abide by the agency’s directive.

“The issue has been resolved. FAAN has given us a letter, not one of termination but a letter to tell us that our contract has expired and that they want to take over temporarily to monitor the revenue by themselves for some time. They said that the normal due process will be followed. Bear in mind that the case is still in court as one of the interested companies took FAAN to court over the matter and joined us as defendants.
