The Federal Government has declared its intention to handover the ownership and control of airports in Nigeria to private Investors. This would serve as an avenue for increasing the Nations wealth.
It further shows the Government's commitment to the Nation despite the challenges facing it.
While addressing the Aviation industry key players in Abuja, the Minister of State for Aviation, Captain Hadi Sirika, announced that the airports in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt will be managed by private sector operators.
He also announced plans by the federal government to establish aviation development bank and an aviation university to provide funding and quality technical manpower for the industry.
The Minister reiterated the commitment of the federal government to fast track the development of the sector through public private partnership.
He further announced the reorganization of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to create employment opportunities for Nigerian pilots.
It was the first aviation stakeholders’ forum since the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari came on board.
