As part of efforts to rid Nigerian airports of terrorist activities, the Federal Government will soon install state-of-the-art scanners at the nation’s airports. Speaking at a two-day International Summit, organized by The Sun Newspapers Limited, in Abuja, Director General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr. Harold Demuren, assured Nigerians and foreigners that with the latest deployment of equipment at the airports, travellers could be sure of their safety.
According to him, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos were hostile to terrorists in view of the level of security installations at the two airports.
Concerning touting at the Nigerian airports, Demuren noted that it was a fallout of joblessness while advocating that those people should be given employment. However, he said they were arrested by security agencies from time to time but they always found their way back to the place.
On the cancellation of flights by the various airlines, the NCAA director general blamed it on the airlines that accumulate the routes they could not service.
