The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has shut down the KFC facility at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos from March 28, 2024.
This was made known in a press statement signed by the agency’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah.
FAAN noted that the decision to shut down KFC was based on the findings of an investigating team swiftly deployed by its MD/CE, Mrs Olubunmi, Kuku, following a social media report by a Passenger with Reduced Mobility (PRM ), alleging discriminatory treatment he received at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos state.
Recall that during the week, Debola Daniel, the son of Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel, called out KFC, lamenting the discrimination he faced and how he was denied access to their facility because he was in a wheelchair.
The KFC Management was instructed to tender an unreserved apology, in writing, to the affected PRM and a policy statement of non-discrimination to be written and posted conspicuously at the door post of their facility at MMIA before it resumes operation.
FAAN used the opportunity to express an unreserved apology to the affected Passenger with Reduced Mobility and assure all airport users that they shall continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the rights of every passenger are not infringed upon.
