ASHENEWS reports that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced the suspension of the airport car hire service at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
A statement by the Director of Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, placed on its X handle @FAAN_Official on Thursday, said the suspension is with immediate effect.
According to the tweet, the reason for the suspension “is as a result of the unresolved factional dispute amongst the car hire operators, which has been affecting airport car hire service operations.
“Consequent upon this suspension, FAAN Management advises the general public and all airport users, particularly our esteemed passengers to use secured alternative means of transportation or E-hailing services in and out of the airport.
“The Management of FAAN regrets any inconvenience this necessary suspension may cause our esteemed passengers, airport users and the general public. Normal Car Hire Services resumes as soon as their differences are resolved,” the statement reads.
