Airport cab drivers have appealed to the Federal Government to suspend the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria’s directive requiring operators to use 2020 model vehicles and above, saying they cannot afford the new policy amid the country’s economic challenges.
The appeal followed a video shared by Objectv Media on Friday in which a driver, speaking in Yoruba, urged Nigerians and President Bola Tinubu to intervene.
“This is what we are facing. Nigerians should help us intervene. They said we should go and buy a vehicle from 2020 above. Vehicles that cost N18 million and above, with the way Nigeria is now,” he said.
The driver also alleged that the authority planned to introduce an app for airport taxi operations, pleading with officials to draw the President’s attention to their plight.
