The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airports Council International (ACI) for the training of Staff of the Authority by ACI.

According to a statement by Mr. Yakubu Dati, general manager, Corporate Affairs at FAAN, the MD described the capacity building exercise as crucial and in line with the Authority’s resolve to further equip and widen the intellectual capacity of staff with new trends in the aviation industry.

Dunoma, added that the training of operational staff had become inevitable because, globally, safety had become a major concern that needed to be addressed urgently, through the re-awakening of staff consciousness in ensuring safety and security at our airports.

This is aside from the fact that the ACI training is in compliance with the recommended practise of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

He commended the Airports Council International for the initiative on Airports Excellence in Safety (APEX) programme.
