The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says there is no blanket ban on ride-hailing services Uber and Bolt at Nigerian airports. FAAN clarifies that reports suggesting a full stoppage of the services are not accurate.
FAAN says discussions are ongoing with the operators to establish a workable framework for how the services operate within airport environments. The aim, according to FAAN’s position as reported by multiple outlets, is to integrate the e-hailing platforms into airport processes while addressing passenger safety and related regulatory concerns.
While all outlets report the same core message—that Uber and Bolt are not banned—each frames it slightly differently. Premium Times and Vanguard emphasize the lack of a blanket prohibition, while The Punch highlights that the services are being incorporated into a new framework to support passenger safety. Across coverage, FAAN’s stated focus is on regulation and integration rather than outright restriction.
