 FAAN Holds Workshop for Journalists and Staff on Airports' Rebrand


The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has organized a one-day workshop for its public relations staff and journalists to enhance their understanding of the agency’s ongoing efforts to reposition Nigerian airports.


The workshop tagged: 'Reporting Aviation and Airports' held at the Commonwealth Institute of Advanced and Professional Studies, CIAPS, in Lagos, aimed to empower both the FAAN staff and journalists with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively report on aviation and airport-related issues


Declaring the workshop opened, the Managing Director, FAAN, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, represented by the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mrs Obiageli Orah,  emphasized the importance of education and continuous personal development, stating that without them, leaders would be stuck and stagnant.


"Education is the fuel that drives every leader, when you talk about leadership education is one of the key factors that propel every leader to the next level".


Speaking at the event, Former Director-General, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, noted that while experience is invaluable, it must be complemented by ongoing training to ensure optimal performance.


He highlighted the visionary leadership of FAAN’s Managing Director, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, who has initiated several transformative programs to modernize Nigerian airports. 


"The essence of this is to help us immerse in what FAAN is doing at the moment to reposition the airports in Nigeria, to also look at other areas of reporting aviation and the airports particularly, because our country is desirous of transiting from an otherwise critical stage, we have been in one place for a long time, We needed to move forward, So, we have a visionary who is in charge of FAAN".


Facilitators covered four critical topics, including airport operations and management: Stakeholder and Responsibilities, Aviation incident Reporting: Sensationalism and Sensibilities, Legal Perspectives in Aviation Reporting and Media and Partnerships.


Over 60 participants including aviation reporters and FAAN staff attended the workshop.
