On Sunday, June 23, Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation decried the reports of begging and extortion going on at International airports in the country by some unscrupulous individuals.
In a post on his official X handle, the Minister lamented that the activities of staff begging and extorting travellers have been bringing a bad image to the nation.
He claimed that his cell phone beeps every minute with messages from concerned citizens who continue to complain about the matter.
The Minister clarified that “most of the agencies involved in this menace are not under the control of the Aviation Ministry, though they are stationed at our airports.
