The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has asked all very important personalities to obey all COVID-19 protocols at the nation’s airports or risk being denied access to any of its facilities.
FAAN also insisted that Governor Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State and former Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State flouted the guidelines in place for passenger facilitation at the Port Harcourt and Kano airports, respectively.
It was earlier reported that Fintiri and his entourage allegedly refused to have their temperature checked while Yari allegedly assaulted an environmental worker enforcing the Covid-19 protocol.
Though the two VIPs denied the allegations, the Authority condemned their actions again in a statement today, noting that persons of such caliber should show themselves worthy of occupying leadership positions by leading by example.
The protocol flouted by both personalities was duly approved by the Federal Government through the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19. They were intended to protect all airport users and to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
