In fulfillment of his promise to ensure that workers in the aviation parastatals are properly placed through normal promotion processes to their next levels, Minister of State, Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika has approved the release of promotion of Senior Management Staff in Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.
Managing Director, FAAN, Engr. Saleh Dunoma is expected to effect the promotion immediately.
The affected members of staff had undergone the promotion processes and the successful ones were elevated accordingly.
Industry sources said thirteen (13) Deputy General Managers have been promoted to General Managers. It is expected that approvals for the promotions of next cadres would be released soon.
Some industry sources who hailed the minister’s decision said the minister has honoured his promise to ensure that members of staff in the industry get to the zenith of their careers.
It would also be recalled that the recent promotion was the first of its kind in an industry where sitting ministers used to bring in their cronies with lesser qualifications and experience to occupy sensitive posts of senior managers in the industry’s parastatals.
The former process which unions in aviation industry kicked against and described as improper placement of staff and dampened the morale of staff was addressed by the Sirika leading to the sack of over 33 of such cronies late last year.
