“I sold my second car, a Peugeot 406 worth N300,000 before the corona crisis for half the price just because my landlord almost sent me and my family packing,” said Nwokoro Ndubuisi, one of the airport taxi drivers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
He said all he has done for years is driving and he later became an airport taxi driver, where he normally takes up to N5,000- N10,000 home daily after he fuels his car.Commenting on how often he gets to transport arriving passengers out of the airport, he said: “It is not possible to get two times rides in a day, in fact, some of us don’t get a ride for close to a week.”
“I stayed at home for some days until I could no longer stay because I am used to daily sales, no matter how little. He said since the resumption of activities at the airport, he has been struggling to sell up to 30 bowls despite the resumption of international flights that makes him close as late as 9 p.m.
