Lagos Airport Taxi Drivers Lament FAAN’s 2020-Model Vehicle Policy

Taxi operators at Lagos State’s local and international airports say a recent FAAN directive will bar cars older than 2020 from picking up passengers. They warn that approved vehicles can cost as much as ₦18 million, a price tag beyond most drivers’ reach. The drivers allege this move is designed to edge them out and allow insiders to introduce their own fleets at the airports. In a video circulating on social media, they appeal directly to President Tinubu for intervention, stressing that jobs are scarce and that this policy threatens their livelihoods.
