Private jet owners barred from govt terminal

 
Barely three months after unveiling a new policy for general aviation, which barred private jet owners from carrying their friends and associates, the Federal Government has stopped private jet owners and chartered jet operators from using the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos for foreign travels.  

The order, which has taken effect, was conveyed through a memo from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to the heads of all the security agencies operating at the MMIA. 

Airport sources said some private jet owners and chartered jet operators had stopped travelling through the international wing of the MMIA. 

As a result, private jet owners and chartered jet passengers travelling out and coming into the country will not go through the required security screening, including that of the Immigration, Customs, narcotics control and the State Security Service at the MMIA. (Read the rest on  Punch)

  7. There's a deliberate attempt to cut down the the number of PJ's in the country.
    There's always an option,private owned terminals will pop up soon.
    Houses with aircraft spaces in the backyards won't be surprising either.

  28. What y'all dont know is they never even check pj owners in the 1st place. I have gone on a pj once and they did not search me or the pj owner. I dont know about internationally buh you cant carry drugs cos you ll be checked properly once u land in another mans country. Plus i know for sure that if you are travelling out of the country with a governor on business or 1st class,the aides take everybodyz passport and its stamped without them seeing you. So its something dey already started a longtym ago. So dont waste yur energy saying government this,government that! Your country has been corrupt for a longtym

Father Lord, i pray that u open the eyes and change the minds of ignorant nigerians who wil always behave like the saduccees and pharissees who re too sad and too far to see respectively who told jesus to tel magdalene to sell the bottle of perfume nd gve d money to d poor whn they dnt actually care abt d poor. and who wil gve all manner of excuses jst to justify their ignorant life. This i ask in Jesus name. Somebody say amen
