The Management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has condemned the conduct of the Governor of Adamawa state, Alh Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, who refused to obey the airport health protocols ordered by the Federal Government.

Fintiri arrived at the Port Harcourt international Airport aboard aircraft 5N-IZY, on 14th July 2020 with an entourage of eight.

They refused to have their temperatures checked and get sanitized by health officials as directed by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.

FAAN revealed that the team that came to receive them drove right through the barricades up to the terminal building ignoring traffic and Aviation Security instructions.

Issuing a statement, FAAN said that the "irresponsible act endangers all other airport users".

The statement reads in part: "FAAN hereby cautions all airport users, especially our esteemed VIPs, to please respect the Presidential directive by observing airport Security and Public Health travel protocols put in place to protect all air travellers against acts of unlawful interference, infection and the spread of the covid-19 pandemic".
