The Managing Director of The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria Olubunmi Kuku has pledged the agency’s support for the growth and Development of Aviacargo in Nigeria.
She made this pledge when she met the Coordinator of the Aviacargo Roadmap committee, Mr. Ikechi Uko along with some staff of FAAN at the Lagos head office.
Cargo, she said, is a major focus of the new administration and that every effort to enable Nigeria to ascend in aviacargo business will be supported by FAAN.
“I am excited to see that a lot of work has been done by the Committee. We shall support you to make this work. Bring the plans and we shall make it happen. I want to see good plans for execution. I am ready to approach any official or organisation to make this possible. I have Ideas of what can be done but I will want to work closely with the committee.”
The Coordinator of the Aviacargo Roadmap Committee had presented a brief report of the activities of the Committee so far.
He outlined the reason for the project, the field trips to airports in Nigeria and to the airports of Nairobi,Addis Ababa and Accra.
The Coordinator told the FAAN boss about the Cargo Bill of Rights and the plan to turn unknown goods to known goods at the Aviation Cargo Village.
He told her that the final report will capture new Standard Operating Procedures(SOPs) for operators and SLAs for regulatory agencies at the airports.
