COVID-19: FG yet to release guidelines for resumption of flights ― FAAN

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has dissociated itself from attending circular stating that the authority has released a post-COVID-19 travel guideline for air travellers.

In a statement issued by Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, the image-maker of FAAN, FAAN called on the public to discountenance fake news which it said emanated from one Tayo Olu.

FAAN in the statement issued declared: “The attention of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has been drawn to a statement released by a certain Tayo Olu today, May 16, 2020 to the effect that the Federal Government of Nigeria, through FAAN has released a post-COVID 19 travel guideline for air travellers.

“We want to state emphatically that although FAAN is carefully and seriously working on a guideline, the release did not emanate from us as it is still a work in progress.

“Consequently, the Authority will like to enjoin air travellers and the general public to disregard the content of the said release. At the appropriate time, FAAN will release the post-COVID-19 travel guidelines via our official communication medium.”
