Kabir Mohammed, the Manager of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, has announced that the facility was set to commence automated pay car park system.
He made this known when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria on the development on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mohammed stated that digitisation of the airport services would be done in phases, starting with the car park pay automation.
He said this would commence on September 29, 2022.
According to him, changing from analogue to digital services will make for a more organised and orderly Abuja airport, especially regarding the current security situation in the country.
He said rowdiness in the drop-off area and parking lots, improper parking, parking in restricted areas, unnecessary congestion in front of terminal and all forms of unruly behaviours ought to be avoided by all airport users.
Mohammed said: “Come September 29, 2022, NAIA will be introducing automated pay car park system in line with global best practices.
“The effort is to enhance passengers, agencies, stakeholders and all airport users experience at the airport as part of the management’s drive to improve on our customers satisfaction experience.
“This may include military and paramilitary personnel, government officials and politicians and their aides who see the status of NAIA as a Protocol Airport.”
The NAIA boss explained that those protocol elites, who fondly call Abuja airport a Protocol Airport, were saying so just to justify their excesses and improper behaviours.
According to him, airports serve as gateways into most countries and cities and often serve as a means for travellers to know what the people in that country represent and their way of life.
Muhammed said there would be redefinition of the “VIP/VVIP Parking lots” and introduction of dedicated parking lots for corporate organisations.
