The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has clarified that it has not banned ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt from operating at Nigerian airports. The authority's ongoing discussions with these operators aim to enhance passenger safety, security, and the orderly management of airport transport services. This clarification comes as passengers have expressed concerns over restrictions reportedly affecting e-hailing services at FAAN-managed airports, such as Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
These concerns have also led to complaints about rising airport taxi fares, with some passengers attributing the increase to difficulties in accessing their preferred e-hailing services at the airports. FAAN emphasized that its position is not to limit passengers' access to transportation options or undermine the role of e-hailing platforms.
Instead, the authority expressed concern in ensuring that commercial transport operators working within airport premises are properly integrated into the airport's operational and security systems.
