The newly rehabilitated Mallam Aminu Kano International airport is ready for commissioning. Mr George Uriesi, managing director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), made the remark while on inspection of the remodelling projects going on across the airport terminals across the country.

The MD who was accompanied by his directors and relevant staff inspected the arrival and departure lounges, check-in counters, security and safety apparatus of both the domestic and international wing.

In a brief interaction with the staff, Yakutu Dati, general manager, Corporate Communications (FAAN), quoted Uriesi as charged them to adopt a new attitude that will compliment the current transformational changes taking place in the aviation sector, challenging them to take ownership of the remodelled Airport terminals in order to maximise its full benefits and realise the corporate objectives of the Authority.

According to him “We cannot carry over old nonchalant attitudes into the new world class airport terminals being constructed.”
