The President, in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, noted the sustained efforts and commitment of the FAAN management to making air transport in Nigeria safe, efficient, and reflective of the highest standards, which has attracted global recognition and commendations.

Tinubu acknowledged Kuku’s leadership and foresight, which earned her a position as Regional Advisor for Africa before she became a permanent member of the ACI World Governing Board.

ACI, which was founded in 1991 has more than 2,000 airports in more than 170 countries and territories under the supervision of the Governing Board.
