ABUJA (State House Report)
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that 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.
While responding to some cases of VIP stoppages at the airports as reported to him on Saturday May 30, 2015, the President directed all government agencies to run their affairs in full compliance with extant rules, regulations and the constitution of the country. “We have not banned anyone from traveling,” he emphasized.
“Unless otherwise directed by the courts, no law-abiding citizens should be barred from traveling 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 traveling abroad.”
