The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has assured that all federal airports under its management are fully insured.
Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, Managing Director and Chief Executive of FAAN, gave the assurance on Wednesday in response to claims suggesting otherwise.
Kuku explained that the insurance coverage was up-to-date, with proper documentation to support it.
She said: “De-rubberisation and runway hygiene has been done; in fact, records are available to show.
“Other areas I will concur are habitation and community issues that have impacted the wildlife and bird strikes and we have been working closely with relevant stakeholders to control.

“The historical runway issues based on structural and engineering issues on some of the runways, along with those exceeding their lifespan are being corrected gradually with complete overhauls and maintenance.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that de-rubberisation is the process of removing rubber deposits on airport runways to improve the landing grip of aircraft tyres, thereby enhancing safety.
