FAAN, Plateau partner on airline cargo development

The managing director/chief executive officer of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, has assured the Plateau State Government of the organisation’s support in the state’s ambition to become a major hub for agricultural products and improve Nigeria’s economy through airline cargo.

She said this while receiving the governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos.

Mrs Kuku, who led top management staff to the meeting, described the state as rich in agrarian products worthy of trade, locally and globally.

A statement by Mrs Obiageli Orah, Director Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, emphasised the Authority’s readiness to collaborate with the state government in setting up its cargo terminal.

She also advised that the state should not wait for major infrastructure before it could benefit from selling and marketing its farm product.
