A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Hycienth Ngwu, has hailed appointment of Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of APC as Board Chairman of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

Ngwu, a former South-East Publicity Secretary of the APC, in a statement on Sunday in Enugu commended President Bola Tinubu for the apt appointment.

He noted that he was optimistic that “the appointment will usher in a golden era of progress for FAAN”.

The APC foundation member said that the apt appointment would ensure that the FAAN mandate, which is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” would be achieved.

“The recent appointment of His Excellency Abdullahi Ganduje, former Kano State Governor and presently the National Chairman of APC as Board Chairman of FAAN is a catalyst that will quicken the realisation of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for FAAN.

“Given Ganduje’s wealth of experience in public administration, his appointment as the Chairman of the Board of FAAN will complement and quicken the ministerial mandate/vision of the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in FAAN.

“This mandate is ably supervised by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku.

“With the combination of these personalities, I have no doubt FAAN will witness a golden era under this administration,” he said.

In another development, Ngwu condoled with the families and friends of the victims of the fuel tanker explosion at Ugwu-Onyeama Hill along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.

According to him, this is an unfortunate incident and this type of occurrence could have been minimised if the roads were in good condition.

“The Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is a gateway from Ebonyi, Enugu, to Anambra and the South Western States.

“Therefore, the government, through the Federal Ministry of Work, should prioritise complete reconstruction of the road and the portions dilapidated be rehabilitated for the smooth movement and benefit of all road users” he said.
