Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo has ordered the relocation of the corporate headquarters of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria FAAN from Abuja to lagos its original base where it has operated for decades.
Spokesperson for FAAN Obiageli Orah in a statement disclosed that the decision to relocate was reached following due consultations with stakeholders and it was agreed that the relocation is to stop waste of Public funds.
She further added that it was ill advised in the first place to move the headquarters of FAAN to Abuja when there was no single FAAN building there to accommodate all of them.
Orah stressed that having returned to lagos, the Authority would be liable to pay them Duy Tour Allowance DTA because technically they are working out of station as their official posting is to Abuja.
The Spokesperson also revealed that the minister has rolled out plans to get concessionaires to build befitting offices for the Authority in lagos and Abuja until that is done, the Authority will continue to manage its old building in lagos that can accommodate all its Directors and senior officials for now
