The Management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has alerted the general public and air travellers that the Nigerian Air Force will be conducting a mock exercise on counter- terrorism simulation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.

Saleh Dunoma, managing director of FAAN, said the exercise was part of strategies to reinforce the safety and security of air transport and the nation’s airports, in addition to sustaining international best practice, regulatory policies and world class service delivery.

He further explained that the exercise might consist of aerial and land manoeuvres, which might create some dramatic spectacles and affect vehicular and human movements.

He therefore enjoined air travellers and members of the public to beware and go about their normal businesses, as operations in the airport will not be affected.

While apologizing for any inconvenience the exercise may cause, he advises air travellers and other airport users to always adhere to laid down rules and procedures for the safety and security of all.
