The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment towards advancing airports facilities to enhance passengers’ safety and efficient carriage.
Rabiu Yadudu, FAAN’s managing director, stated this at a ceremony while honouring the best performing staff and retired managers on Thursday in Abuja.
The ceremony was tagged ‘Best Performance Staff (2020) Award Presentation Ceremony and Honouring of Retired General Managers and Deputy General Managers (2020/2021)’.
According to him, the federal government is ready to intensify efforts to ensure passengers get the best flight services.
“We are ready to keep developing and profitably managing customer-centric airport facilities for safe, secured, and efficient carriage of passengers and goods at world-class standards of quality. The move is to be among the best airport groups in the world,” he said.
Mr Yadudu, who commended the 45 best performance staff (2020 awardees) across all airports, advised them to sustain their passion, perseverance, and dedication toward achieving the organisation’s ideals.
According to him, the COVID-19 pandemic has been the most financially and physically challenging period ever, with the aviation industry being the worse hit.
He stated that aviation workers had to remain at work to ensure the safe delivery of essential cargo despite the global lockdown.
The Nigerian airports were not left out as all the airports were opened throughout the most critical lockdown period, added Mr Yadudu.
