In a bid to ensure safety at the llorin International Airport, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has warned residents of Kwara State against encroaching on the airport land.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Head of Corporate Affairs of the airport, Mr. Adeyeoluwa Oluwakayode and made available to this medium on Friday.
The statement reads: ” This is to inform the general public that any of the following activities carried out on FAAN land without permission of the management is illegal and violators (individual or organisation) will be duly prosecuted.
“The offences are trespassing, building, loitering, cattle rearing, excavating, and dumping of refuse,” the statement added.
It stressed that the measure was to prevent further incursion of unauthorised persons and animals into the airport perimeter and operational areas.
Recall that FAAN had earlier organised a stakeholders meeting to curb invasion of the airport by cattle, encroachment and illegal mining activities around the airport. And also began iron fencing of the airport for safety purpose.
The agency solicited support and cooperation of stakeholders and residents within the vicinity of the airport towards ensuring safety of facilities and passengers.
