The new Managing Director assured stakeholders in the aviation sector that the agency would continue to be the bastion of excellent service delivery in the country.

Mrs Kuku gave the assurance while meeting the top management of the agency

“My mission at FAAN is simple. I’m here to complement the good work you have all been doing and consolidate on the foundation that previous managements have laid. We will pursue and deliver on all our obligations to the nation and the international community.

“Together with you all, we can make FAAN a greater institution than it already is.

“We shall be working within the frame work of the Renewed Hope Agenda as enunciated by the administration of President @officialABAT, GCFR, and in accordance with the policy and program direction of the Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr @fkeyamo, SAN.”

Describing FAAN as a national asset designed to operate airport infrastructure and equipment and as a tool for economic development, the MD/CE said her vision was to improve on the agency’s professionalism in enhancing user experience, passengers’ seamless facilitation, security, safety and standards.

She also affirmed that improving the country’s image will be a core ambition for her office.

“Under my leadership, revenue generation will be optimised and waste will be eliminated as much as possible.

“Working in collaboration with national and international bodies, we will promote the image of Nigeria and strengthen the network of FAAN. Clearly aware of the extra challenges the aviation sector faces during the Yuletide, Mrs. Kuku explained that she was already drawing up tactics to deal with this.

“There is an urgency of yesterday in revving up our operations as we have fully entered the busiest season of the year for airline operations.

“To this end, we shall be interfacing with the various professional interests, sister agencies and partners to ensure we have smooth, safe and secure operations throughout the season.” She added.
