The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is to embark on
a total of 500 kilometre fencing of all airports in the country as a
result of the recent stowaway incident in Benin City.
The Managing Director of FAAN, Mr George Uriesi who disclosed
this while visiting the Oba of Benin and the Edo State Governor in
Benin City yesterday, said they were on a sensitization tour to
communities around the airport to forestall a repeat of the
stowaway incident.
At the Edo State Government House, Governor Oshiomhole
brought in Daniel, the stowaway boy who he said is already on
Edo State government scholarship and has gained admission
into State government owned Edo College.
Responding to the airplane incident, Mr George Uriesi
commented that the survival of the boy in the stowaway incident
still baffles him as it is a miracle.
He however said FAAN will be embarking on the fencing of all
airports in the country, contrary to its initial plan as a result of
the stowaway incident.
