The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), has directed the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to move its operations from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to Lagos.
The Minister’s directive to move FAAN to Lagos was contained in an internal memo dated January 15, 2024, from the Managing Director of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku to the Director, Human Resources and Administration.
In the letter titled: Relocation of FAAN headquarters from Abuja to Lagos, Kuku requested the implication of moving the operations at the FAAN headquarters to Lagos.
The letter reads, “The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development has directed that the headquarters of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria should be relocated from Abuja to Lagos.”
Kuku went further in the memo, “Consequent upon the above, you are requested to provide the implication of the relocation to the management.”
Only last week, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) decided to move some of its operations including the Banking Examination Department to Lagos, arguing that the head offices of banks which they supervise are all in Lagos.
