Students To Ground Lagos Airport, Police Threaten Showdown

The command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin said, “Speaking from a position of confidence, everything is intact, and there is no threat on the airport or the airspace.

“However, the protesters who issued the threat are free to come out and see what awaits them. We, however, urge law-abiding Lagosians to go about their lawful duties without fear of intimidation or harassment.”

  • The airport police command’s spokes person, Olayinka Ojelade, also said, “Our men have been on standby since Friday, so nobody is folding arms to watch the students disrupt aviation activities.

 

  1. “They can’t enter the airport; they can only block the entrance to the airport. Whoever is travelling will know how to bypass them and enter the airport. No airline is on strike, so, they will attend to their passengers. Nobody can ground flight operations, they have been warned.”

 

FAAN allays fear

 

The spokesperson for the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, Hope Ivbaze noted that security had been beefed up at the airport because the airport is the nation’s gateway.

 

She said, “You won’t expect that this kind of information will go around and security will not be beefed up.

 

 

“The airport is the nation’s gateway. Certainly, we have existing security operatives at the airport and when there are things like this, security is further beefed up.’’

 

ASUU backs NANS

 

The National President, ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, in an interview with The PUNCH, however, commended the students for fighting for their rights.

 

“We commend NANS members for fighting for their rights. It is their right. The pro-chancellors are doing well too. We hope the government will listen to them because they (pro-chancellors) understand what is happening in the Nigerian universities,” he said.

Osodeke also informed The PUNCH that it would honour the invitation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila to a meeting on Tuesday.

Group warns students

 

Meanwhile, the Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has appealed to the leadership of NANS to rescind its decision to occupy the nation’s airports.

 

The group made the appeal in a statement jointly signed by its National Coordinator, Ibrahim Abdullahi and National Secretary, Dr Nasir Balogun, which was made available to journalists on Sunday.

 

The group warned that street protests leading to blockage of federal highways, access to airports and disruption of flights would lead to a breakdown of law and order.

 

The union, on February 14, 2022, embarked on a strike following what it described as the failure of the government to meet some of its demands and on August 26, it declared a total and indefinite strike.
