The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) lifts its restriction on Bolt airport operations, allowing passengers to use the e-hailing service again. The change restores access to Bolt at airports after complaints that the restriction caused inconvenience and contributed to higher transport fares for travellers.
The reversal follows a directive from Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, who intervenes after concerns are raised by passengers and circulated on social media. Premium Times reports the minister orders FAAN to urgently address issues relating to airport transport fares and e-hailing services, framing the action as a response to public pressure.
The Punch similarly links the resumption to Keyamo’s intervention, noting that widespread complaints drive the decision. Together, the reports describe a process in which FAAN’s earlier limitation is reversed after ministerial direction, with the common focus on fare and access concerns rather than any specific regulatory dispute.
