The Senate Committee on Aviation on March 6, 2021, paid an oversight visit to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria at the Authority’s Headquarters annexe in Lagos.

Receiving the distinguished committee, the Managing Director of the Authority, Capt. Rabiu Yadudu, who led the FAAN Management team to the meeting, expressed the Authority’s appreciation to the Committee, noting that the organization has enjoyed the highest level of support, collaboration and co-operation from the Committee in her bid to realize her vision of being among the best airport groups in the world.

Yadudu highlighted some of the achievements of the Authority in recent time to include massive upgrade, rehabilitation and remodelling of existing terminals in FAAN’s 21 local airports; construction of five brand new world-class international terminals with Abuja and Port Harcourt having been commissioned for use, Lagos and Kano to be commissioned before the end of the first quarter of this year, while Enugu would follow suit, soon after.

The achievements also include the Certification of the international airports in Lagos and Abuja (Kano and Port Harcourt are in view); improvement in Safety and Security of the airports, which culminated in the recognition of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, as the best-improved airport in safety by Airports Council International, Africa Region; and the positioning of Nigerian airports for Covid-19 operations despite the decline in revenues, which attracted commendations nationally and internationally, amongst several others.

Furthermore, he enumerated some of the challenges militating against the realization of the Authority’s goals to include, capacity and contribution of airports to revenue generation, human capacity development, infrastructural gap, economic challenges affecting revenue generation, accumulated debts, rising operating and maintenance cost, amongst others.FAAN VISIT 2

Yadudu requested the Committee to assist and collaborate with the Authority in finding lasting solutions to these challenges.

In his response, the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Smart Adeyemi noted that the purpose of their visit was to fulfil the legislative oversight requirement, evaluate how resources that have been allocated are being utilized, and assist in addressing challenges affecting the industry.

He commended FAAN for the recent ratings and also added that the achievements call for harder work, noting that the Committee was not able to discharge her duties last year due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, but stated that this year would be different as they will be visiting more often.

Stating that the Committee is also interested in the welfare and well-being of workers, he noted that aviation is key to the socio-economic development of Nigeria, and as such, they will assist in whatever capacity possible to ensure that the industry is both robust and effective.

The Committee, which also included Senators Abba Moro, Sadiq Umar and Biodun C. Olujimi then went on an inspection of projects.
