The manager, who spoke through the Head of Corporate Affairs FAAN, Mr. Adeyeoluwa Oluwakayode, added that among the terms of reference is for the committee to find lasting solution to the vices.
“The committee has been mandated to feedback the airport manager on any development, which in turn will be transmitted to FAAN headquarters for appropriate action.
He then solicited suppprt of various stakeholders in ensuring safety of the airport and passengers at all times.
“We are forging a harmonious working relationship with every stakeholder to ensure safety of the airport and passengers at every point in time.
