Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has directed that non-international airports be used for any international flight operations.
According to information obtained by NEWS 360 INFO, the decision was made necessary due to concerns that numerous VIPs may be smuggling money, goods, weapons, and potentially even people into Nigeria under the cover of official international airports, where they would be invisible to security personnel.
According to an informant who talked to Cable News, a lot of VIPs are now asking for last-minute landings at nearby airports in order to avoid being inspected by immigration and customs officials.
