Airport Cab Drivers Call Out FAAN: ‘We Can’t Afford N18m 2020-Model Cars’

Airport taxi operators are protesting a new FAAN directive requiring them to use only 2020 model vehicles or newer. Drivers say cars priced at N18 million and above are beyond their reach amid the current economic hardship. In a viral video, they appealed to Nigerians and President Tinubu to step in. They also raised concerns about a planned airport taxi app and urged FAAN officials to consider their plight before enforcing the rule.

It's easy to sympathize, yet some operators could explore financing options rather than flatly rejecting the directive.

Negotiating group loans or cooperative buys might lower costs and help drivers comply without crippling their budgets.
