ASHENEWS reports that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has debunked reports that its Managing Director, Kabir Yusuf Muhammed bought a car worth N200m as his official vehicle.
Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua, Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection at FAAN disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday.
The statement maintained that the FAAN MD does not have any official car and did not buy any for anyone.
It disclosed that a contract for the procurement of operation vehicles was awarded by the former Managing Director but is yet to be supplied.
“When some old vehicles were refurbished for the newly appointed Directors, the MD was given one but he had to return it because the vehicles did not go round.
“The vehicle he is using to work does not belong to FAAN. The vehicle’s registration number could be verified through the appropriate authorities.”
FAAN described the move as a tactic by some persons to distract the new MD from his responsibilities.
“We, therefore, use this medium to appeal to reporters to authenticate the veracity of their reports before going public.”
