Opeifa
The Lagos State Government has warned the Federal airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to stop what it calls illegal registeration of taxi and intercity transport operators.
Commissioner for Transportation Kayode Opeifa accused FAAN of rebuffing all entreaties to stop the alleged “illegal act”.
He said: “For the avoidance of doubt and the education of the public, it is only state governments that have the legal and constitutional rights to regulate transportation matters in their domain, a fact that was reiterated and confirmed by several resolutions of the National Council on Transport.
“In this regard, the Ministry of Aviation and FAAN are therefore called upon to retrace their steps from this impunity, discontinue this act and consult the state Ministry of Transportation for proper guidance.”
Opeifa told the operators that no agency except the Ministry of Transportation could regulate their activities.
Operators who flout the regulation would be sanctioned, he said .
