MD calls for strategic plans on safety

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Sunday called for a strategic action plan for the closure of "open-items’’ recently identified during auditing to guarantee safety and security of airports.

Mr Saleh Dunoma, FAAN Managing Director, made the call at a meeting with the technical committee drawn from the departments of operations, engineering, safety and security.

Dunoma said that the audit was carried out by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

He further implored the committee to provide guidance and support the improvement of facilities aimed at addressing the open-items identified following the Airport Council International (ACI) APEX evaluation.

Dunoma said the evaluation was conducted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Murtala Mohammed International airport, Lagos.

According to him, this will further boost our adherence to safety and security baseline in line with ICAO guidelines.

Dunoma also charged the committee to work meticulously to meet up with the set goals, noting that the monitoring and evaluation mechanism would be activated for greater productivity.
