Federal Airports Authority Denies Banning Uber, Bolt And Others From Lagos Airport

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria FAAN has dismissed reports it has banned car hailing apps from driving into any of the airports across the country.

There were reports online recently that the agency had banned Uber, Bolt and other car hailing apps from plying roads within airports. The claim was backed up by the photo above showing some men mounting a signpost with the notice of the ban.

FAAN in a statement released and signed by its General Manager Corportae Affairs, Henrietta Yakubu, said the signpost being shared online did not emanate from its office. The agency said Nigerians are free to use whatever mode of transportation they feel like using to transport themselves to the airport.
