President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), on her election as Vice-President of Airports Council International (ACI) Africa.
The President’s message was conveyed in a statement by Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Friday in Abuja.
ACI is the global trade body representing airports worldwide. It sets international standards, policies, and best practices for airport management and operations.
Kuku’s election was ratified at the 34th ACI Africa General Assembly, held in Lusaka, Zambia, from Sept. 13 to Sept. 19.
President Tinubu praised the dedication of FAAN’s leadership to ensuring safe, efficient air transport in Nigeria—an effort now recognised on the global stage.
He commended Kuku’s foresight and leadership, which previously earned her the role of ACI Africa Regional Advisor and now a permanent seat on the ACI World Governing Board.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that ACI, founded in 1991, has more than 2,000 airports in more than 170 countries and territories under the supervision of the Governing Board.
