FAAN calls out ex-Zamfara governor for flouting COVID-19 guidelines

The immediate past governor of Zamfara state, Abdulaziz Yari, has been called out and shamed by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria FAAN for blatantly ”flouting all COVID19 guidelines” at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport on Saturday, July 11.

According to FAAN’s statement on Twitter, Yari arrived at the airport and refused to adhere to the protocols put in place by the Federal government, insisting he is a VIP.

 

The tweets read

The Management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) hereby strongly condemns the conduct of the former Governor of Zamfara State, Alh. Abdulaziz Yari who blatantly violated the Public Health procedures (COVID19) on travels at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport on Saturday 11th July 2020.

 

He refused to adhere to the protocols and procedures put in place by the Federal Government through the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on #COVID19 by forcefully pushing away an officer of the Environment department when he insisted that his luggage must be disinfected.

 

The former Governor said the officer should have known he is a VIP. This irresponsible act endangers all other airport users, it is unacceptable, and as such it has been duly escalated.

 

FAAN hereby cautions all airport users, especially our esteemed VIPs , to please respect the Presidential directive by observing the Public Health travel protocols put in place to protect all air travellers against infection and the spread of the covid-19 pandemic.”

I love to read, write and TRAVEL!!! The media space is my canvas to paint the truths of our brands and the stories of our Nigerian culture. I love a good book any day because with them I can travel to spaces that are perfect in their frame.
