Mass resignation looms in FAAN over airports concession

Crisis appears brewing in the Nigerian aviation industry especially the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) over the insistence of the concessioning of four major airports in the country by the Federal Government.

A source close to the agency, on Tuesday, said that some of the middle and top staff of the agency who have put in 10 years and more in service are considering tendering their resignation letters if the government went ahead with its planned concession of the airports.

The airports earmarked for concessioning in the first phase are the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos, the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport (NAA), Abuja, Port Harcourt Airport and Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano.
