Fuel marketers and officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria clashed at the Abuja airport on Thursday over alleged increase of apron access fee by 100 per cent.
“The truth of the matter is that their apron pass expired, apron passes have duration. They know that the apron passes will expire and time was given to them to pay and they did not pay so what do you do? The aviation industry as you know is highly regulated and we cannot just fold our arms and let things slide. If we do not collect revenue how do we maintain our facilities?
Also, the Regional General Manager, North Central, FAAN, Kabiru Mohammed, also said FAAN refused to give the oil marketers access because their apron access had expired. According to him, the marketers will be barred from the apron later if they fail to make payment and renew their apron access pass.
