FAAN Bans Luggage Checking At Departure Hall

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria says checking of luggage will no longer be done at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. Dunoma stated that  agencies, including the Nigeria Police, Department of State Security, Quarantine Services, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigeria Immigration Services, Nigeria Customs Services and FAAN Aviation Security, among others, would iparticipate and implement the order.

The Managing Director, FAAN, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, said this was part of the plan to ensure the implementation of the Executive Order recently issued by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

Dunoma  stated this after a meeting with all the participating agencies at the airport on Tuesday. “The Executive Order does not give room for pre-checks on luggage. All checks should be done in designated areas. Luggage should not be checked at the departure hall,” he said.

Dunoma said, “We have to meet the deadline set by the Executive Order. There are strategies in line with the order, but the concerned agencies need to meet regularly to ensure that these strategies are adhered to and improved.

“Concentration is on the Lagos airport because it is the key airport due to its size, complexity and passenger traffic. If we get it right in Lagos, we will get it right in other airports.

Once we do that, I believe all the other airports will be easy for us.”

“All participating agencies are ready to key into this big committee set up for the implementation. Everybody is contributing positively.
