The President,
Nigerian Aviation Fire Safety Association (NAFSA), Mr Lewis Ojeifo, said
on Wednesday that 1,000 additional fire-fighters would be needed in all
the airports across the country.
Ojeifo said this while speaking with airport correspondents at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMA), Ikeja, Lagos.
He said that presently, only 800 firemen were manning the airports, saying that this might lead to fatigue.
``
We do not need anything less than 1,000 men to add to what we have now,
and that is when we will say that we have enough hands to support those
on ground, `` he said.
He commended Mr George UrIesi, Managing
Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), for providing
40 new fire trucks.
``When the rein of affairs in FAAN changed
hands to the present boss, the whole thing changed and we have been
collaborating and as of today, we have 40 brand new fire trucks in our
airports for our operations, `` he said.
Ojeifo also commended
the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, for her transformation
agenda and for equipping airports across the country with new
fire-trucks and training of fire personnel.
He assured that
members of his association were combat ready in the case of any
emergency in any of the airports across the country.
