This move was confirmed in an internal memo from the Managing Director, Mrs. Olubumi Kuku, to the Director of Human Resources and Administration.<\/p>\n<p>FAAN acknowledged that the initial decision to move its headquarters to Abuja was ill-advised, considering there was no available office space for its staff in the capital. The agency stated that those affected by the relocation had returned to Lagos, as there was no FAAN building in Abuja capable of accommodating all staff simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, has pledged to build suitable offices for FAAN in both Lagos and Abuja. After consultations with stakeholders and unions in the industry, it was agreed that relocating the headquarters to Lagos was in the best interest of the Authority and the country at present.<\/p>\n<p>FAAN cited several reasons for the decision, including the lack of office space in Abuja, the impracticality of moving the headquarters without adequate facilities, and the economic inefficiency of renting office space in Abuja when a significant portion of its activities occurs in Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister has proposed a plan to engage concessionaires for the construction of suitable offices for FAAN in both Lagos and Abuja. Until these offices are built, FAAN will continue to manage its existing building in Lagos that can accommodate all its directors and senior officials.<\/p>\n<p>The statement reassured the public that FAAN&#8217;s operations in Abuja remain unaffected, and the agency will continue to act in the best interest of the public and the country. The final decision on the permanent headquarters will be made when appropriate corporate buildings are constructed in both Lagos and Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the decision to relocate aviation agencies to Abuja, including FAAN, was initiated by the former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, in 2020. However, the current move is a response to the impracticality and challenges posed by the initial decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 visible\"><button class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 text-xs hover:text-gray-950 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400 md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visible\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]\">\n<form class=\"stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 last:mb-2 md:mx-4 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-2xl xl:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center\">\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden [&amp;:has(textarea:focus)]:border-token-border-xheavy [&amp;:has(textarea:focus)]:shadow-[0_2px_6px_rgba(0,0,0,.05)] flex flex-col w-full dark:border-token-border-heavy flex-grow relative border border-token-border-heavy dark:text-white rounded-2xl bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 shadow-[0_0_0_2px_rgba(255,255,255,0.95)] dark:shadow-[0_0_0_2px_rgba(52,53,65,0.95)]\">\n<div data-grammarly-part=\"button\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"amkYk\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"ptGJG\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has announced its decision to relocate its headquarters from Abuja back to Lagos to prevent the wastage of public resources and avoid unnecessary expenses.
