The Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Olubunmi Kuku, has declared open the Authority’s 2026 Management Retreat, with a focus on consolidating reforms and institutionalising sustainable growth across Nigeria’s airport system.

The three-day retreat, which commenced on Thursday, June 5, 2026, is themed “Consolidating Gains and Institutionalizing Sustainable Growth.” It brings together FAAN’s senior management team to assess the Authority’s transformation journey, strengthen institutional capacity, and align strategic priorities with evolving global aviation trends and industry best practices.

Key sessions examined global and African airport development trends, process standardisation, performance management across Nigeria’s airports, as well as infrastructure modernisation and operational efficiency.
