The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has issued a new directive barring drivers from picking arriving passengers at the frontage of the airport terminals.
In a statement released by Henrietta Yakubu, its general manager on corporate affairs, FAAN said the directive is in accordance with COVID-19 protocols set by the federal government to mitigate the spread of the virus across Nigeria. According to the statement, drivers are only to pick up arriving passengers at designated car parks and not at the frontage of airport terminals.
The statement adds that drivers are also prohibited from waiting for departing passengers as they are only allowed to drop the passengers off.
