The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria says it has commenced
fumigation of International Airports in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt
ahead of reopening of flight operations in Nigeria.
General Manager, Corporate Affairs of FAAN, Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, made this known on Tuesday in a statement in Lagos.
Yakubu
explained that the fumigation exercise was in line with the efforts to
contain the spread of coronavirus pandemic ravaging the world.
She said though, it was not yet clear when the ban on flights would be lifted, the authority was taking the proactive steps.
“This is to ensure the safety of passengers and other airport users when the airports eventually reopen.
“In
March this year, the authority embarked on a similar exercise of
disinfection and fumigation of all the international airports,” she
said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Chairman,
Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of
the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, had in April announced the extension
of the ban on flight operations by four weeks.
