Viral Photo: Airline at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Airport Uses Ladder to Board Passengers

|Updated:

A viral picture showing an airline in Nigeria using a ladder to board passengers has been addressed by a government official.

The picture and other photos showed passengers climbing the regular ladder, as opposed to a boarding ramp typically used by airports around the world.

Yakubu Ibn Muhammad, an advisor to the governor of Bauchi State, said in a statement obtained by Nairaland that what happened “was indeed worrisome.”

“But I want to point out that the problem was a minor one and it was resolved in good time,” he added. “The motorize ramp stairs was put right and used for embarkation.”
