President Muhammadu Buhari says officials of past administrations including ministers are entitled to their full rights and privileges under the constitution and must not be subjected to any undue harassment and intimidation at the airports or at other points of entry and exit
. “We have not
banned anyone from travelling,” said the President. Responding to some cases of “V.I.P stoppages” at the airports as reported to him on Saturday, President Buhari
directed all agencies under the government to run their affairs in full compliance with extant rules, regulations and the constitution of the country. “Unless otherwise directed by the courts, no law-abiding citizens should be barred from
travelling abroad.
We must treat fellow citizens with courtesy and respect. Officials at the borders and other points of entry and exit should conduct their affairs in strict compliance with due process. No one has my permission to bar anyone from
travelling abroad,” the president said.
