The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has taken the decision to close down a KFC outlet at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos due to discriminatory practices.
The closure of the outlet, effective immediately from Thursday, March 28, 2024, was announced in a statement by FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah.
“In line with Lagos State law on People with Special Needs, Part C, section 55 of General Provisions on Discrimination which states that, ‘A person shall not deprive another person of access to any place, vehicle or facility that members of the public are entitled to enter or use on the basis of the disability of that person,’ the management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has closed the KFC facility at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos with effect from March 28, 2024,” the statement stated.
