Oduwole said by the reports of the heinous activities of officers of the agencies, which had been consistent and unchecked, and had given an impression that the Lagos airport had become a no man’s land, and a place where anything goes deserved critical surgical operation
She said the bad image such acts had cut for the country before the comity of nations, had propelled the Presidency through its agency, the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, PEBEC, to organize a training program for leaders and frontline officers of major stakeholders at the airports.
Jumoke Oduwole noted that the MMIA was fast acquiring the nefarious status of a place where officials do anything they liked without consequences.
Speaking to uniformed personnel at the airport including FAAN AVSEC, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigeria Customs Service, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Quarantine service, Oduwole charged that henceforth leadership of these agencies will be held responsible for their subordinate’s inordinate actions.
