FAAN suspends airport taxi services in Abuja

The Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja will no longer offer airport taxi services, according to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria.

The agency claimed that this action was taken as a result of ongoing factional conflicts among the car rental companies, which had been negatively impacting the operations of airport car rental services.

  A statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, Abdullahi  Yakubu-Funtua, said, “The FAAN wishes to inform the general public that the airport car hire service at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja has been suspended with immediate effect.

“This is as a result of the unresolved factional dispute among the car hire operators which has been affecting airport car hire service operations.”

FAAN recommended airport passengers use secure alternate modes of transportation or E-hailing services in the statement.

The statement read, “Consequent upon this suspension, FAAN management advises the general public and all airport users, particularly our esteemed passengers to use secured alternative means of transportation or e-hailing services in and out of the airport.

 “The management of FAAN regrets any inconvenience this necessary suspension may cause our esteemed passengers, airport users and the general public. Normal Car Hire Services resumes as soon as their differences are resolved.”
