Find out the surprising reasons behind FAAN's shift from Abuja to Lagos and the reactions it sparked. Dive into the juicy details now!

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has recently made headlines with its decision to relocate its corporate headquarters from Abuja to Lagos. The move, ordered by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, aims to cut costs and streamline operations. FAAN explained that the relocation was necessary to reduce expenditures and curb the waste of scarce resources, reassuring Nigerians that operations in Abuja remain unaffected.

Aviation workers have expressed support for the headquarters relocation, emphasizing the potential benefits it brings. However, not everyone is in favor of the move, with groups like the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum raising concerns about relocating key departments of FAAN and the Central Bank of Nigeria to Lagos. Despite mixed reactions, Minister Festus Keyamo has been commended for his directive, with various groups applauding his efforts in the aviation sector.

In a surprising twist, it was revealed that FAAN spent a significant amount of N3.543 billion from COVID-19 funds on furniture grants, sparking controversies. Additionally, the decision to relocate FAAN's headquarters back to Lagos after being moved to Abuja in 2020 by former President Muhammadu Buhari highlights the ever-changing landscape of aviation governance in Nigeria.
