There are two types of touts embarrassing Nigeria at airports – Keyamo

Travellers has been reassured by Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo that touts will be eliminated from Nigeria’s international airports.

The Minister pointed out that the nation is greatly embarrassed in front of its guests since there are two groups of touts at the international airports.

Keyamo pointed out that some touts operate within airports while others are outside. He clarified that the former are more hazardous and would need the assistance of armed security personnel to leave, while the latter are an embarrassment to the country because they disregard their uniforms.

Keyamo stated during the Ministerial Sectoral Press Briefings, “There are two types of touts at the airports. The official touts and non-official touts. That’s the truth.

“You meet touts outside and inside the airport you meet touts in uniforms, who dip hands into bags, ask for money.

“In many cases, we’ve seen disgraceful videos on social media. Although this is not under us, it’s just our environment but we’ve spoken to the Interior and the National Security Adviser and we’re working jointly on that.

“We may have to present a joint memo very soon to try and reduce the human contact at the airports. All of those agencies should be behind glass doors somewhere.

“They cannot all be seen embarrassing our country. We’re addressing that problem and very soon we’re going to come with a holistic solution.

“For the touts outside, we are asking for back up because FAAN, they don’t carry arms. Some of these boys [touts outside] are armed.

“So we’re trying to call for help from normal security agencies to see how they can cooperate with us to purge them out of the airports.”
