*** Says the Claim Lacks Merit
The management of Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria has debunked a claim in one of the notorious fake news peddling platforms
that FAAN Managing Director, Mr Kabir Yusuf Muhammed approved N200 Million for the purchase of Toyota Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition for himself as his official vehicle.
This is contained in a statement on Sunday signed by Abdullahi Yakubu-Funtua
Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection and made available to The PrimeTimes.
According to the statement, “Since his assumption of office, FAAN MD does not have any official car and did not buy any for anyone.”
It further stated that, “When some old vehicles were refurbished for the newly appointed Directors, the MD was given one but he had to return it because the vehicles did not go round.”
It stated further that, “A contract for the Procurement of operation vehicles was awarded by the former Managing Director. They are yet to be supplied.
“The vehicle he is using to work does not belong to FAAN.
The vehicle’s registration number could be verified through the appropriate authorities.
“FAAN has observed with great concern that agents of doom have resorted to the use of the media to distract the new MD from the good work he has started in repositioning FAAN to greater heights.
“We therefore use this medium to appeal to reporters to authenticate the veracity of their reports before going public.” The statement concludes.
