The General Manager, Customer Services, Mrs Ebele Okoye, stated that Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has ordered for modern scanners to boost security at airports nationwide.
She disclosed this at the Second Quarter stakeholders’ forum held at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Okoye said the scanners could detect hard drugs, ammunition and food as well as harmful liquids.
She said: “Arrangements have been made to bring these scanners to Nigeria. They are different from what we have currently because they can detect anything inside a baggage without manual checks.
“Our goal is to reduce interface between passengers and officials of agencies at the airport to curb corrupt practices and also improve service delivery at our airports.” Okoye said.
