Henrietta Yakubu, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said on Monday that following a final notice of payment over a month ago, the authority had withdrawn its Security officers and Airport Fire and Rescue Services from the Gombe, Kebbi and Bebi airports.

“This action has become imperative as the management of Gombe airport is indebted to the Authority to the tune of #607,289,972, while Kebbi and Bebi airports are indebted to the tune of #124,547,240 and #76,772,948 respectively without any concerted effort to pay up the debt.

“The Authority has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to this effect so as to give operators into the airports the opportunity to review their logistics plan.
“FAAN…….. Committed to her core values of Safety, Security and Comfort,” said Yakubu.
