Bolt resumes operations at Nigerian airports after dispute

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has cleared the ride-hailing platform Bolt to resume operations at all airports under its management, following an intervention by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo. The decision, announced on Thursday, August 27, 2026, resolves a dispute that had disrupted passenger transportation options and sparked widespread criticism over high taxi fares. The resolution came after days of controversy stemming from FAAN's efforts to establish a new operational framework for commercial vehicles at airports.
