As part of measures to ensure that security arrangements at the country's airports are functional and capable of detecting threats to the country's aviation sector, the House of Representatives, yesterday, directed its committee on aviation to carry out a full audit of all security facilities at the nation's airport and report to it within four weeks.
Similarly, the House also directed the Nigeria Communications Commission, NCC, to initiate measures to remove obsolete NITEL cables nationwide.
In a motion brought by Ossai Nicholas Ossai, the lawmaker noted that the global security challenges in air transportation called for urgent adoption of measures to forestall any breach of passenger and aircraft safety in Nigeria.
He, however, noted that the on-going renovation of the airports had dislocated and disrupted the smooth functioning of installed scanning machines and other vital security gadgets, thereby posing great security risk to passengers and the airports.
