Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is set to eject customs agents operating in its premises at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.
General Manager, Corporate Communications of FAAN, Yabuku Dati, told the Newsmen that the authority had constituted a task force to that effect adding that the authority would not rescind its decision to eject the cargo operators.
He said that FAAN had agreed to relocate the agents, having realised the prominent roles they play in generating revenue for the government.
Dati said that the authority had also agreed to establish a cargo village for agents in the airport’s master plan and also noted that FAAN was set to relocate all fuel tankers parked within the vicinity of the access gate of the Airport.
He explained that the plan to relocate the tankers followed a series of meetings with the stakeholders, including oil companies and he however debunked the allegation that the Bureau de Change operators still operated at the car park of the MMIA.
He said that those of them operating legally were relocated to designated places, while the illegal ones were told to stop operation.
