Official Statement from the Managing Director/Chief Executive, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
“I have seen the disturbing video circulating of a Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) official caught begging a passenger for money at the airport has been immediately withdrawn from duty at the terminal and is currently facing disciplinary action with the NIS.”
In a statement by Olubunmi Kuku, managing director, of FAAN, she described the behaviour as completely unacceptable, adding that it does not reflect the passenger experience FAAN hopes to provide at its terminals.
