HAWKERS CLEARED AT MMA ACCESS PLAZA
In a renewed effort to ensure a safe and secure environment at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, the Aviation Security Directorate of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has stepped up its crack down on hawkers in and around the airport.
One of such crackdowns took place at the MMA Access Plaza on Tuesday, February 18th, 2014 when hawkers were arrested and handed over to the Police for prosecution.
Until the resent raid, the Access Plaza was regularly besieged by hawkers, resulting in constant traffic gridlock on the airport access road, especially at periods!
Following the operation, sanity has returned to the area as vehicular movement at the Access Plaza is now seamless.
We also wish to inform the general public that the increasing incidence of traffic congestion on the MMA internal road has been traced to the ever increasing volume of vehicular traffic on the access road, which provides an easier access from Ikeja to other areas of the state including; Mafoluku, Ajao Estate, Isolo, Mile II, Apapa and Badagry.
The Authority appeals to users of the access road to minimise the time spent at the newly automated access plaza by paying the charges promptly, apart from ensuring that they have the exact amount for that charges, to ensure free flow of traffic on the internal road at all times.
