The Management of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the resumption of direct revenue collection at the cargo terminals of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, LAGOS, after 15-year of recess.
In a statement issued by FAAN’s on Friday, signed by Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah, described the development as a breakthrough that would not be confined to Lagos alone. “The success at MMIA will serve as a model for replication at other airports across the country. It reflects FAAN’s vision to optimise cargo operations and unlock new streams of value for the industry,” she said.
”Working in close synergy with the PTC, Customs Area Command under the leadership of Comptroller T Awe, this initiative has already begun to plug revenue leakages and ensure greater accountability across the air cargo value chain.” The statement added.
Industry operators say the resumption of direct revenue collection after 15 years marks a turning point in FAAN’s drive to sanitise cargo operations and improve revenue performance in the aviation sector.
