Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, says the authority is committed to ensuring smooth movements of men and election materials for the Saturday’s elections.
Dunoma gave the commitment in Abuja on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.
He said that the transportation of election materials for the Presidential and National Assembly polls had commenced and would be successfully completed before the elections.
He said the authority had put adequate measures in place in terms of facilitation and security to ensure hitch-free operations because of the importance of the exercise to the nation.
According to him, airports are equally ready to process passengers that would be travelling to and from different parts of the country for the elections.
“We are very much ready, materials have been handled substantially, we are still moving them and we will ensure that all the materials are transported safely.
“A lot of people are also moving because they are travelling to where they have registered to go and vote.
“We are working with all the relevant agencies to ensure that everything is done properly,” he said.
NAN reports that the airport witnessed an appreciable increase in traffic at the domestic wing on Thursday as many people have started travelling to different locations for the elections.
