CLCC Demands FAAN’s Compliance With Court Order Authorizing Disclosure Of Revenue

The Registered Trustees of the Centre for Law & Civil Culture (CLCC) have asked the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to comply fully with the judgment of a Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, which ordered it to disclose the revenue generated from toll-gates and parking lots fees in all federal government-owned airports.

Justice Ibrahim Kala, who granted the order, also compelled the FAAN (the respondent) to provide details of the revenue to a public interest applicant, The Registered Trustees of The Centre for Law & Civil Culture.

The judge gave the federal agency three months to comply with the order.

The applicant filed the suit following the respondent’s failure to accede to its Freedom of Information (FoI) request of August 24, 2022.

However, while FAAN complied with the order by disclosing the total sum generated from January 2015 until date, it failed to provide information on how much it remitted to the Federal Government (FG) from January 2015 to January 2024.

In a letter dated April 18, 2024, the Executive Secretary, Registered Trustees of the Centre for Law & Civil Culture, Abdulganeey Imran reminded FAAN of the need to fully comply with the order of the court.

The letter reads: "We observed with great concern that you only comply with the first leg of the order of the Honourable Court by availing us with the evidence of the total sum so generated from January 2015 until date, but flagrantly and deliberately disobeyed and/or disregarded the second leg of the order of the Honourable Court which further mandated your agency to provide ‘’the evidence of yearly remittance of such sum so generated per year from January 2015 to January 2024 within three (3) months from today’ In the circumstance.

“We hereby demand full compliance with the judgment of the Honourable Court delivered by Honourable Justice Ibrahim Ahmad Kala dated 23 February 2024 and request that you avail us with the evidence of remittance of such sum in conformity with the aforesaid judgment of the Honourable Court.”
