Saleh Dunomah, managing director of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has said that management will continue its commitment to human capacity development in order to meet the highest standards of professionalism and best industry practices, as well as continue to train and develop capacity of its members of staff, in line with the provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization. He made this disclosure at the passing out parade for the second batch, Aviation Security and Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services personnel held in Lagos on Friday February 17, 2017.
Dunoma, who was represented at the event by Sadiku Abdulkadir Rafindadi, the Authority’s director of Commercial and Business Development, admonished the graduating officers to remember all they have learnt and make a personal commitment to excel in their chosen careers. He added, “I indulge you to pursue this challenging career path, because it’s rewarding, you have a great responsibility to live up to the vision of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria which is “to be amongst the best airport groups in the world.” Salamatu B. Umar-Eluma, director of Human Resources, in her address to the new officers, said that they have been recruited to serve in the Para-military arms of the organisation where discipline, professional conduct, loyalty and special vigilance are required.
The event climaxed with presentation of awards of excellence to those who distinguished themselves in the programme. The awards are in three different categories, for Aviation Security officers, Fire Officers and Parade Commanders.
Dunomah re-assured that FAAN will continue to invest in its human resources, while also congratulating all award winners, Parade Commanders and the champion guards for their excellent performance.
