His resumption comes on the heels of the formal inauguration of the reconstituted boards of major aviation agencies by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in Abuja.

During the ceremony, Ganduje assured that the newly appointed board members are committed to strengthening the aviation sector, emphasizing that their selection was rooted in merit and a shared vision to reposition the industry.

“As a board, we’re ready to support you in elevating this ministry,” Ganduje said. “We intend to thoroughly review the FAAN Act to understand our scope and avoid overstepping boundaries — a common issue between boards, executive management, and the ministry. We aim to operate within our limits, but without falling short of our responsibilities.”

He stressed the board’s dedication to efficient service delivery, the core mandate of FAAN, noting that aviation operations are becoming increasingly complex due to numerous stakeholders at both national and international levels.

“Nigeria is a key player on the African continent,” Ganduje said, “and we must deliver services that reflect the highest global standards.”
