Sequel to the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo’s signing of three Executive Orders to ease business in Nigeria, TheNewsGuru.com authoritatively reports that the nation’s international airports have fully complied with the Executive Order which sought to stop officials from delaying or receiving bribes from passengers.
Investigations by TheNewsGuru.com reveal that the manual baggage checking counter has been completely removed today.
Unlike the old practice, passengers will now have to go through check in counter with their luggage without any form of manual ‘stop and search’ by officials of the airport.
However, passengers with suspicious items might be recalled for a thorough search of their luggage by officials of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA and other relevant agencies with a scanning machine.
Elated passengers who were pleased with the development told TheNewsGuru.com that: “This is a very remarkable improvement. Now you don’t have to watch helplessly as all manner of rough urchins in uniform forage through your wife’s undies in the name of pre-boarding searching. Mr President needs a longer medical vacation indeed!”
However, while some are of the view that the development have been on for a while, others are of the view that it was the acting President who gave the order and ensured its enforcement.
“The acting President should take credit for this. I watched him give that instruction on live TV when he visited the Lagos airport the first time Oga was away!,” a visibly happy passenger who craved anonymity told TheNewsGuru.com.
Another anonymous passenger who expressed diverse view about the acting President taking full credit for the development said both President Muhammadu Buhari and the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo are working together and that credit for whatever positive developments in the country should go to both and the administration as a team.
“The committee was set up by the President with his vice as chairman. He (Osinbajo) just gave directives. The President and his Vice are working together,” he said.
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Tuesday said it had put in place measures to ensure full and sustained compliance with the Federal Government’s Executive Order at airports in the country.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, had on Thursday, May 18 signed three far-reaching executive orders expected to ease business, fast-track budget submission and promote made in Nigeria products.
