  "summary": "The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has lifted the ban on Bolt, allowing the e-hailing platform to resume its services at FAAN-managed airports. This decision comes after a temporary interruption that caused inconvenience and increased transportation costs for passengers. FAAN reached an agreeable operational framework with Bolt following constructive engagements, clearing the platform to resume services. FAAN acknowledged concerns raised by passengers over the increased cost and inconvenience and apologized for the difficulties caused. The Authority emphasized that its actions were driven by regulatory, safety, and security considerations rather than economic interests.",
