FAAN to deploy robots to check-in passengers at Airports

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria is set to deploy robots in its airports all over the country. Africa Update gathered that the robots would be used for passenger facilitation processes including profiling, check-ins, temperature checks as well as detection of security threats including dangerous goods and arms. Confirming the development, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Henrietta Yakubu confirmed that the test run of the robots was done at the Lagos Airport on Saturday. “It’s a demo that is going on in Lagos. It’s been demonstrated. If it works fine, it will be adopted,” she said.
