The tour, led by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, was aimed at showcasing the government’s commitment to fostering innovation in the sector.
Accompanied by Olubunmi Kuku, Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and other senior officials, Keyamo visited PASS’ state-of-the-art facility in Ipara, Ogun State. He commended the institution for its critical role in advancing safety training in both the aviation and maritime sectors, stressing the importance of local expertise in securing Nigeria’s airspace and waterways.
