FAAN to publish list of debtors

By on February 21, 2015

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has said that it will publish the list of people and organisations indebted to it across the airports in the country.

The organisation said that it was being forced to take the step because to the huge amount it was being owed.

In a statement on Thursday, it said, “FAAN wishes to notify all its debtors, including airlines, concessionaires and other service providers at all Nigerian airports that the Authority will soon publish a list of such debtors in major Nigerian newspapers as a prelude to other measures designed to help the Authority recover all its outstanding debts.

“All affected customers of the Authority are hereby advised to approach the Authority’s Debt Recovery Department at its headquarters, or airport managers across the country with relevant documents for reconciliation of accounts with the Authority.”

The statement, signed by FAAN’s General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Yakubu Dati explained that the services being rendered by the organisation might be affected due to the amounts that it was owed, adding that it was essential for the debtors to clear their debts.

“The Authority is constrained to take this measure because the level of indebtedness to the Authority may soon begin to take a toll on its services, which should not be allowed to happen in the overall interest of safety and security at airports,” Dati said.

He frowned on the situation where most of the customers deliberately refused to pay their charges/fees long after FAAN had rendered them statutory services.
