It has been gathered that about 21 senior officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria were on Wednesday dismissed from office after a major shake-up.

The affected persons were directors, general managers and deputy general managers as they were immediately given their termination letter.

Also about 10 general managers who were formerly promoted illegally were demoted in Lagos head office of FAAN.
Stakeholders said the Federal Government had been concerned about certain issues at FAAN such as the engagement of about 40 general managers, the creation of many directorates that brought about duplication of duties and raised the authority’s monthly overhead to an estimated N800m.

In other to restructure and cushion the effects of the present economic realities, the government has decided to cut down the number of workers.

Virtually all the directors were affected by the new development, while an acting director of finance was said to have been demoted to Grade Level 10 and redeployed to the Department of Information Communications and Technology.
