President Muhammadu Buhari recently approved the use of arms and ammunitions by airport security personnel across the nation.
Hadi Sirika, who is the Minister of State for Aviation, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the first Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting of the year chaired by President Buhari.
He said:
“We are very serious about aviation security, just last week the President approved that aviation security should bear arms. So we are trying to make them take the form and shape of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the US with K-9 dogs, handcuffs, the guards, the batons and light weapons.
“The minister of interior is helping us in that regard with the directive of Mr. President. They are partnering with us and other stakeholders to keep our airports secure.”
All these will be unveiled at the next stakeholders meeting.
