Nigeria’s Two Airports Win Prestigious Awards for Emergency Management
The Airport Council International (ACI Africa) has recognized Nigeria’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, and the Port Harcourt International Airport for their outstanding dedication to airport emergency management and resilience. The announcement was made during the Gala Night at the 33rd Annual General Assembly of ACI Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The awards, presented by the ACI Africa Secretary-General, Ali Tounsi, and the President, ACI Africa, Emmanuel Chaves, are a testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone involved in ensuring excellence in airport emergency management and resilience, particularly Nigerian Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo.
“The prestigious awards are a true reflection of the unwavering dedication and hard work of our team, who have made significant strides in ensuring excellence in airport emergency management and resilience,” the Minister, Festus Keyamo, said in a statement signed by his Senior Adviser Media and Communications, Tunde Moshood.
According to the Minister, this achievement underscores Nigeria’s aviation sector’s commitment to providing secure and efficient travel experiences for its citizens and the global community.
The ACI Africa has recognized Nigerian airports for their exceptional performances in airport emergency management, demonstrating the country’s relentless pursuit of safety and resilience in the face of increasingly complex global air travel trends.
This news is likely to boost morale among the aviation sector, as Nigerian airports continue to strive for excellence in passenger safety, efficiency, and overall performance.
In light of these awards, one can assume that Nigerian airports will continue to invest in further improving airport emergency management practices, potentially setting a standard for airport safety and security across Africa.
