Ibrahim Kana, the permanent secretary of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, says progress was being made in the ongoing transformation of the aviation sector in Nigeria.
Kana said the solid structural framework at the Federal Airports Authority (FAAN) being driven by Olubunmi Kuku, its managing director and chief executive officer, had contributed immensely to this progress.
On his maiden tour of FAAN upon his redeployment to the ministry, Kana praised the ongoing reforms at FAAN, emphasising that Kuku’s managerial expertise has been pivotal in enhancing operational efficiency and service delivery.

He credited the success recorded at FAAN to the dynamic and visionary leadership of Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace development, noting that the minister’s proactive policies and strategic direction have created an enabling environment for growth and innovation within the aviation sector.
Reaffirming the ministry’s full support for FAAN, Kana pledged to work closely with the management to sustain the momentum of development. He stressed the need to prioritise personnel training as a vital component of the reforms, urging FAAN’s leadership to design a sustainable and comprehensive training framework for staff capacity building.
“The aviation sector demands constant innovation and expertise,” Kana stated, adding, “I urge everyone to put on their thinking caps and contribute to improving the system. Together, we can elevate Nigeria’s aviation industry to global standards.”
His visit is said to reflect a strengthened collaboration between the ministry and FAAN signaling a united effort, under minister Keyamo, to transform Nigeria’s aviation infrastructure and drive sustainable growth.
