Says Hardworking Public Officers Will
Be Encouraged
PUBLIC officers who are hard working
in their places of calling will continue to get all
the necessary support and encouragement from
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Governor of the CBN, Malam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi, gave the assurance Friday at the
commissioning ceremony of the remodelled
International Terminal of Malam Aminu Kano
International Airport (MAKIA), Kano.
Sanusi, who was the special guest of honour,
commissioned the remodeled section of the
airport. He said: “CBN supports public officers
that are doing something. There is no one that
can go to Kano airport or Kaduna airport or
Benin airport of Abuja airport and tell you that
something is not happening.”
He commended the Minister of Aviation
Princess Stella Oduah, for awarding another
contract to put another international terminal
at the MAKIA.
Sanusi hoped that the Aviation Ministry would
imbibe a maintenance culture to continue
preserving the good work done during the time
of the Minister.
Earlier, Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Aviation, Senator Hope Uzodinma, reminded
that the remodeling of Kano International
airport and other airports was part of the
transformation agenda of President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan.
He described Kano airport as very strategic
because it provides the shortest distance from
Nigeria to Europe, Middle East and other parts
of the world.
“I congratulate the Minister on her ability to
keep with the transformation agenda of Mr
President”, he commended.
Mr George Uriesi, the Managing Director of the
Federal Airports Authority on Nigeria (FAAN),
revealed that Kano was the beginning of
aviation history in Nigeria. “We take Kano as a
strategic place in our aviation thinking”, he
maintained.
He thanked the Central Bank Governor for
giving the Ministry of Aviation a helping hand
in areas of remodeling airports across the
country. He further assured that soon, the
Ministry was going to start work on Kano
Terminal.www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=11658
