ICRC intervenes, insists on Safety of Vehicles concerning Lagos Airport Car Park

Efforts are being made to ensure that incidences of vehicle vandalism at the car park of the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos do not occur ever again. The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) is leading the efforts to ensure the safety of cars parked in the area. The commission used the opportunity of its visit to the facility to canvass for a technology that deploys smart cameras (CCTVs) to the area.

This is as a result of recent media reports on the incidence of vehicle vandalism at the car park of the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, in which the management of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) visited the multi-level parking facility. The team, led by its Acting Director-General Mr. Michael Ohiani visited the facility which was described in some reports as ‘a den of thieves’ in view of three alleged incidents that took place in the car park during the last week of December 2021.

A statement by Manji Yarling, head of media and publicity in the ICRC, noted that the visit was a joint monitoring inspection by the commission and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to assess the safety situation of vehicles parked by the general public. Mr. Sadiku Abdulkadir Rafindadi, Director of Commercial and Business Development, led the FAAN delegation on behalf of the Managing Director, Capt. Rabiu Hamisu Yadudu.
