As the two-day public holiday to mark the Eid-Fitr celebration begins today, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said all the airports under its management are ready to for hitch-free passenger facilitation.
Spokeswoman for FAAN, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu, said in a statement that airport facilities had been upgraded for the comfort of passengers.
“As part of our preparations to ensure seamless facilitation of our highly esteemed passengers during the Sallah celebrations and beyond, the VIP Protocol lounges at the terminals in Lagos and Abuja have been refurbished to give maximum comfort and value to our customers.
“Also, facilities at our airports have been generally improved upon and are functioning optimally. In addition, airport security and other logistics have been upgraded and strengthened to provide for the expected increase in passenger traffic in and around our airports.
“New directional display units have been provided to guide travellers, especially new ones, at our airports. Airport dos and don’ts banners have also been displayed at strategic locations to educate newcomers.
“While we advise the general public and intended travellers to make early preparations towards completing their travel requirements in good time, we will also like to re-state that receiving of dignitaries at restricted areas by security agents and airport officials is prohibited and anyone found wanting will be prohibited.
