All unauthorized inhabitants of airport grounds have been warned by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to leave the area for their own safety and security.
The operations of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State were in jeopardy, according to a statement released on Tuesday by the general manager of corporate affairs, Faithful Hope-Ivbaze.
All other airports that face comparable difficulties are also scheduled to have illegal structures removed. Hope-Ivbaze went on to say that the property that is presently home to the airport was purchased by the federal government for public use under the lands acquisition legislation by the official gazettes of the government in 1944, 1972, and 1975, respectively.
