Spokesman of the Agency, Adewumi Okoh, emphasized that the exercise is ongoing. He also disclosed to newsmen that more social clubs, bars, night clubs, betting shops, event centres and other businesses in the state will be assessed and certification issued.

Meanwhile,

The Chairman House Committee on Aviation, Hon Nnolim Nnaji, last week , called on regulatory agencies at various airports to bar any intending travellers who failed to adhere strictly to the safety guidelines put in place by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on COVID-19, from accessing the airports forthwith.

Hon Nnaji who stated this in a statement made available to newsmen expressed displeasure over the flagrant abuse of the safety protocols put in place by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, (NCAA) in line with the NCDC for the re-opening of air transport services.

Hon Nnaji who was reacting to the reports of some highly placed Nigerians who refused to subject themselves to the health protocols instituted at the airports to safeguard the lives of airport workers and passengers against the deadly coronavirus maintained that those who refuse to subject themselves to the protocols are denied future access to the airports.

He stated that It was regrettable that people who pride themselves as leaders rather than show examples chose to exhibit the type of indiscipline that will endanger the lives of both airport workers and other users of the airports.

He said that type of behaviour can not be tolerated. He cautioned people who have chosen to travel by air to abide by the laid down procedures established by FAAN and NCAA in line with the NCDC guidelines.

He also urged the leadership of the regulatory agencies to be firm and reiterated the need for the front line staff especially the airport security and Health officials to be courageous in carrying out their duties to ensure that every passenger no matter the status observes the protocols.

Hon Nnaji who represents Nkanu East/West Federal Constituency, Enugu State in the House of Representatives further expressed the support of the entire members and leadership of National Assembly for the aviation agencies and the frontline staff in the bid to enforce the extant regulations.

He also used the medium to assure Nigerians that the National Assembly have resolved to abide by the protocols and they will not allow anyone no matter the position in the society to unnecessarily endanger the lives of Nigerians .
