FAAN's new machine to replace Custom's 'controversial' tables at MMIA
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has upgraded security infrastructure at Nigeria’s airports, especially international airports in line with Standard and Recommended Practices (SARPS), which are technical specifications adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
To this end, the agency has replaced most of the security equipment with modern, state-of-the-art alternatives at the most critical areas of the airports, especially the international airports and it has also trained Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel to effectively man the new equipment.
FAAN has also taken significant action to finally remove the notorious table where some security operatives stay at departures to physically search and allegedly extort passengers by providing an alternative system, whereby security officials at the terminals can monitor passengers’ luggage through computer systems.
The new security equipment has the ability to single out all the prohibited items, including drugs, currencies, medicines and others simultaneously, thus making physical search of the luggage unnecessary, except those specially identified by the new system.
