The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo has introduced new measures to improve service delivery and environmental cleanliness across Nigerian airports.

These initiatives are part of the Federal Government’s commitment to addressing the needs of travellers and ensuring high operational standards.

Key among the measures is the appointment of voluntary Special Airport Marshals comprised of professionals from the media, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and representatives of state governments.

These Marshals will conduct unscheduled visits to airports to monitor staff conduct and general hygiene, reporting their findings directly to the Minister.

This step is aimed at ensuring accountability and effective utilization of airport maintenance funds.
